Potioncat:
Unfortunately, JKR's quote was split and it is almost impossible to 
know what she means by "those things."  The article is saying that 
Cuaron had a good intuition and put something in the movie that will 
appear to have been a clue when we read the later books. I wish they 
had worked her quote better and I wonder if she said anything 
similar to any of the other many interviewers?

I guess what I'm trying to say, is it could be dialogue or images or 
characters or something in the scenery.  I'm sure that by week's 
end, HPfGU will have a viable theory for every moment in the movie.  
What may happen too, is that by the time we've had a year to discuss 
it, the book will come out and we'll say, "It THAT what she meant!"  

I think it would be neat if it had something to do with that great 
scene of the boys eating candy and making animal noises!

Potioncat who doesn't want to get caught up in this, but will anyway.
