I think we can safely discount any such information from the official 
site. They do not have their facts correct even on the things we 
already know. Check out the Ron bio if you're curious. This is not 
canon, it's what some flunky over at Warner made up after a cursory 
read of the books. 

The same goes for the map/overview that they have as the background 
of the Beater game. It's beautiful and mostly correct. But as a 
librarian who helps kids research, I have problems with things that 
are "mostly correct." I am writing my contact at Rights and 
Permissions from Warner Bros to ask permission to include that image 
on the Lexicon, but I'll put corrections either on it using Photodraw 
or as a list under it.

I have to say that it is disheartening that the official site is as 
sloppy about things as they are. I'm not exactly surprised, just 
disappointed. But I will certainly not take THEIR word for anything.
