Preview Magazine?  That's rather funny, as it's actually a summary 
(word for word) of a fanfic (http://hpfanfiction.net/books/book5/ ) 
that quite a few folks have said borrows a lot of ideas--but not 
prose--I used first in my own fifth-year fic 
(http://www.schnoogle.com/authors/barb/PS01.html ).  If Preview 
Magazine was fooled by this fic summary, they should hang their 
collective heads in shame!  You and your husband, OTOH, were 
trusting to what has traditionally been a reliable source of 
information.  The Scholastic catalogue info I would still trust; I 
think all other sources (other than an on-camera interview with JKR 
herself) should be, at this point, considered highly suspect, 
especially if there is information (such as the Animagus thing) that 
directly contradicts previous statements from Rowling herself.
