Movie contamination in OotP by JKR :)

This struck me as funny because I've seen how many times we all get 
momentarily confused as to what is canon -vs- the variations in the movies and it looks 
like in OotP, JKR herself took a visual from the movie CoS.
In CoS (the book), when Fawkes bursts into flame, there is "nothing but a 
smouldering pile of ash on the floor", but in OotP, when DD returns from the MoM 
with baby Fawkes he places him "gently on the tray of soft ashes beneath the 
golden post where the full-grown Fawkes usually stood," which is the visual of 
Fawkes' perch in the movie.

Quite minor, of course, but I found it amusing all the same that even JKR can 
get a little case of movie contamination... ;)
