Do forgive me for being dense, but everyone seems to mention canon.  
Where is this canon?  I have only been a member of the group a very 
short time.  I would like to access this canon.

Maria Alena:

This question is brought up from time to time on this list (I think 
it's the third time since I joined last December). The Crashing 
Boar's explanation gives you the gist of the term's meaning, I 
suppose, but I suggest you read a whole thread on the topic. I think 
you'll be surprised to find out that there are many different 
opinions about what to consider canon. 

I just searched for the thread we had in April, and it starts with 
post # 55452. This thread is nice since it deals with the delicate 
questions of JKR's interviews, the movies and the merchandise. 

If you don't want to read the whole thread, here are some of the more 
important moments:

Posts 55455, 55493, 55944, 55947, 55617, 55763, 55799, 55830, 55831, 
55786, 55887, 55899. Most of them are pretty short, so don't let the 
number of them scare you <g>.
