I think we have to give it up, Jordan. I just re-read the bit on JKR's
website FAQ where she answers the questions about Colin's camera. She
says the battery doesn't work at Hogwarts therefore the camera must
run on magical energy the way a wizard's radio does, apparently
acknowledging that his camera does have some internal electronics.
Hermione, I think, says radios emit static at Hogwarts. Harry probably
has an electronic watch but JKR will say it runs on magical energy at
Hogwarts. So the batteries don't work, some devices do work but run on
magical energy, but radios don't work ....

Does anyone happen to know what day of the week it is or what the
phase of the moon is?
