Neri:
I'm also not familiar with the quote above and will thank anyone who 
post it. Perhaps, however, it is just a misquote of the quote below, 
which is from the CoS DVD interview with JKR and Steve Cloves, the 
screenwriter who adapted the script. You can find it in:

mzimba.htm

This quote itself is somewhat disappointing. It is from Cloves, not 
JKR:

"Q: There are so many rich details in the books. Can you tell us how 
you decide what goes in and what stays out?
Steve:
I will sometimes ask Jo. I will say, you know, this detail, you just 
seem to have cast just a bit more light on this in this scene than 
the other details. Sometimes I'm wrong, but often she'll say "No, 
that is going to play." There's one thing in Chamber, actually, that 
Jo indicated will play later in the series."

Note that when Cloves says "in Chamber" he probably means in the 
whole DVD, not necessarily inside the actual chamber. They seem to 
call the movies "Stone", "Chamber" and "Prisoner" for short.
