We can tell this because everything becomes out of focus for a moment just as Harry would see without his glasses. There is a quick P.O.V shot in this scene from Harry's view once again. We see this technique once again when Harry and Hermione are at the Whomping Willow and Harry loses his glasses. If we were just watching as an outsider we wouldn't even see Harry and this dramatic turning point may have been less powerful and lost on the audience. This is effective because Harry is secretly in the room and invisible. We know this because the cloak impairs his vision and this is reflected in the shot, blurring our vision as well. We become Harry's eyes as we enter the room.
This is seen again when Harry is under the invisibility cloak and sneaks into a room where he learns some important information about his past. We see a quick shot of the shoe dangling from directly above suggesting to us that this is Harry's actual view of the shoe. Harry takes his shoe off and uses it as bait to draw the book out. The book attacks him and runs under the bed. The first time we see a true P.O.V shot is when Harry gets his Monster Book for the first time.
There are a couple of actual, true point of view shots used in the film that are subtle and placed in carefully chosen locations. Also, when he moves around in a scene will move with him a lot of the time. Many times when he moves from sitting to standing the camera will move with him.
This technique is constant, but not limited to, throughout the entire film. Also, when we see the Harry we are looking at him at eye level most of the time in this scene, not from the perspective of the Dimentor. We see the Dimentor from a low angle, in every shot, as Harry is looking up at him. Harry is sitting in the car and the Dimentor is hovering above him in the door way. We can see this again in the train scene when the Dimentor attacks Harry. For instance, when Harry is sitting on the curb and is talking to the man on the bus we only see the man from a low angle which correlates with his eye line towards the man. We can see angles frequently used to emphasize that we are “along side” of Harry. Camera angles and movement are the key factors that brought this effect to life. We see this so many times through out the film in every single scene. Almost every shot in this film is suggestive that we are with Harry on this adventure.
