Well, I don't know where JKR could 'jump up and down' about it; I mean, what 
forum would you expect her to do that? ;-) 
She doesn't exactly make the talk show circuit. In the interview I mentioned, 
she says that she is totally happy with it and indicates that that says it 
all. Until she is interviewed again, we don't know really know if she has any 
complaints about it. She's too busy writing the next book, thank goodness <g>
As for needing documentation that she did indeed give approval or disapproval 
for certain elements that either Cuaron or Kloves wanted to do, well, no one 
can provide that. All we can do is believe Cuaron in his interview and JKR and 
Kloves in their interview on the COS DVD. I doubt that they recorded their 
conversations, so documentation doesn't even exist. I believed JKR and Kloves on 
the DVD and I believed Cuaron in his interview. I guess everyone has to 
decide if they believe them for themselves ;-)
