* ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]''.: The footprint method is used in the third movie when Harry wears the cloak outside while it's snowing.
** However in any shot where he's putting on or taking off the cloak, it falls into the category of [[Special Effects Failure|distortion]] due to the use of the [[Chroma Key|green-screen technique]] to make the cloak appear invisible.
** The [[Harry Potter (video game)|video game version]] of ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Philosopher's Stone]]'' uses the Partly Transparent method. And although we can see Harry the whole time, they didn't bother to put a cloak on him—you know, the thing that's actually supposed to be making him invisible in the first place.
** Slyly invoked by the British Library's travelling ''Harry Potter'' exhibit in 2017-2018. Harry's cloak is the centerpiece of one section, where it's displayed in a Lucite case. All you could see was a hanger.
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy, with Frodo. The only way we could tell where he was in the last part was by his footprints.
** Bilbo was invisible to the audience while wearing the ring. However, when Frodo wore the ring, we saw a distorted version of reality with him in it.
