Today I posted this on the What's New page of the Lexicon. I'm 
posting it here to invite comment and discussion. 

Quotage:

In my last entry, I mentioned that Disney Adventures magazine stated 
that the 101 Wizard cards in the video games were designed by 
Rowling. I said that I was trying to find out if that were true, but 
in the meantime I was going to start including that information in 
the Lexicon. Since then I have been informed by a source in the know 
that everything in the games is indeed either designed by or 
approved by Rowling. 

So what, you say? Well, for canon purists like me, that's a pretty 
big deal. That means that there are a lot of new things which must 
be included into the Lexicon, sure, but it also strongly suggests 
that other official products, the trading card game for example, are 
canon as well, if Rowling has the same relationship with them as she 
has with the game designers.

I don't have any word yet from Wizards--and they have ignored my 
emails asking for more information--so we can't be sure. But I am 
starting to rethink my position on what is and isn't canon and what 
will and won't be included in this website. 

And that means that I may have just set myself up for a LOT more 
work! I suppose I needed something to do between now and June 21...
