P'shaw, Jo! :) This is the movie list! We just had new canon 6 weeks ago
- and we'll have more when the first stills from PoA start showing up
online in a few months. 

Actually, to be honest, in a clinical way, we the fans of the books did
have new canon less than two years ago, in the form of the two
schoolbooks, which newcomers to the Harry Potter books often don't even
know about until they delve into discussion lists like HpfGU or the
practise of writing fanfic, which (if you want to make it as
canon-accurate as possible) requires close knowledge of things like
Quidditch fouls or the precise traits of certain animals. 

Since this is the movie list, though, let me make this post fully on
topic by asking a question - those of you who came to the HP series and
the fandom through the books - do you consider the films to be
canonical, and if so, why?
