Cliff here:
Yes, that was movie contamination as I still-framed the DVD to get a
closeup of the camera being pried out of Colin's hand. The Argus brand
was clearly visible and I knew it was an Argus C-3 when I saw the
movie. It is the only widely available camera of that type (simple,
split view rangefinder, with separate, bulb flash). In that it is
probably the only choice as its 1945-1950 era fits 1991 Hogwarts.
I was just guessing the British would say "cabinet" instead of
"cupboard" but there were many other terms.
There are similarities between Phill and Cliff. Five letters.
Consonant, consonant, vowel, double consonant. ;-]
