Hester:

I don't remember if the film was ever developed. I do remember Colin
asking to take the picture and then Harry could sign it when it was
developed and Lockheart stepped in and made everything worse.  I know
electronics don't work in hogwarts, but he could have had a basic
"old-fashioned," if you will, camera.  I have one of those.  You
really have to know about f-stops and such, but it's great not to have
to worry about batteries going dead.  My only complaint is that it's
so bulky.  Sinse there is nothing electronic (just mirrors and levers)
about it, it would work in Hogwarts.  JKR may have thought of that
when she wrote it, but forgotten since then.  It has been quite a while.
