Alla:

I don't know, I would be happy if it is not canonical, but it just 
seems too important to me for the screenwriter not to consult with 
JKR. No, I do not think that she has that much input on the movies, 
but I would like to think that the plot details that are still 
concealed from book readers are being checked with her instead of 
making them up.

I mean, maybe precisely to avoid what you said ( Ginny Patronus 
compared with alive DD patronus, etc), JKR concealed her patronus 
from us in book 5, and will reveal it in book 7 when Ginny will show 
her super powers. Ugh, wonder woman Ginny, Ginny Sue Ginny. Am sad 
and hope that you are right.

I mean, I did predictions test on Leaky and they already write this 
as canonically established fact in one of the questions. Does not 
necessarily mean that they are right, but they usually do not write 
something as canon fact lightly, no?

Hmmm, I wonder if Lexicon now mentions it as canon as well or not?

I can also absolutely see why movie people would want to put Ginny 
Patronus in, even if JKR did not, you know?

They already give Ginny more space in the movies, closer relationship 
with the Trio than in the books, starting with GoF, no?

So,I can totally see why during DA meetings they would want to 
showcast Ginny Patronus.

JMO,

Alla
