Here's the link to the USA Today article -

HPANA also has a link to a video version of the interview. You can
check that out here - http://www.hpana.com/news.18158.html

Here's a short excerpt:

"Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling says that Alfonso Cuaron, who
directed The Prisoner of Azkaban, which opens next Friday,
inadvertently foreshadowed events that will happen in books six and
seven, which she has yet to complete.

"I really got goose bumps when I saw a couple of those things, and I
thought, people are going to look back on the film and think that
those were put in deliberately as clues," Rowling says in an interview
released by Warner Bros., which is distributing the movie."

I don't think there is any mistaking the meaning of this quote.
