Harry Potter fanatics. A question about HP1--Sorcerer STone

During the chess game, what position was Harry playing that he was able to move diagonally three or four spots. I don't recall that he took the position of a Bishop, but that's the only way he could have made that last move.

1. I do play chess and the only pieces that can move the way you say are the Bishops and the Queen. n/t

2. Right. I always thought he was a pawn, but he walked across three white squares

diagonally, which means he was either a bishop or a queen.

3. Harry's a bishop

I looked it up in the book.

5. Harry was a bishop

but the film had several continuity errors in the chess match.
