 So if there is a graveyard there, who's buried in

Potioncat:
I've read it, but I can't find it. There is a summary over at Quick 
Quotes, but I can't find the actual quote. But, just as HBP was 
coming/had come out someone asked JKR about the graveyard. She said 
it was a fandom myth.

My take is that Cuaron may have discussed putting in a graveyard at 
Hogwarts and misunderstood her reasons for not wanting one. It's his 
quote that got all the speculation started. I'm assuming that a 
graveyard in the PoA movie would hve been too confusing with the 
canon GoF graveyard. 

Besides, they had already added too much and cut too much...just my 
opinion of course.
