Talk:Painting of a hippopotamus

Painting vs Portrait
I think we should use portrait, seen as J. K. Rowling uses "portrait" to name moving pictures and "painting" to name still-lifes:

"The Hufflepuff common room is accessed through a portrait near the kitchens, as I am sure you have deduced. Sorry - I should say 'painting' rather than portrait, because it is a still-life."
