We all boo-boo from time to time--heaven knows I've deleted a fair 
number of my own posts here and have been red-faced over errors in 
logic--but if I might, I would like to point out the following:
 
cannon - a large, artillery gun, usually on wheels; a firearm for 
discharging heavy shot with great force
 
canon - sanctioned or accepted body of related works; the authentic 
works of a writer
 
JKR has produced a canon, not (as far as we know) a cannon.  :-)
Please forgive if this sounds pompous or snarky; it's not intended 
to.  Just a friendly neighborhood Public Service Announcement.

Well at the risk of find and Elf shoe far too close to my posterior, 
I'm posting a reply :)

Thanks for the reminder to watch spelling and homophony.  There is 
quite a bit of room for error with words like Kreacher-Kreature-
Creature-Creacher, Snivellus-Snivelus, cannon-canon, Hermione-
Herminie, Weasley-Weasly and Sirius--serious-serous-series.  These 
are all little things that I've seen or done myself in a rush. 
Because wordplay is such an important part of the HP series, there is 
quite a bit of room for a typo here or there.  It is easy to make a 
mistake, and not always so easy to see minor errors while in the 
midst of formulating ideas, theories and arguments.

So thanks again for the reminder to be consistent!!
