Barmaid:
 
Just to be clear I am not trying to start a conversation about the 
movies or about what is different between the movies and the books 
or what JKR allowed or did not allow in the movies.  That would not 
be appropriate to this board.  

I AM trying to start a conversation about what people believe this 
piece of new canon information about the presence of a graveyard at 
Hogwarts could mean for the story.  Where could it be?  What role 
will it play in the story?  Why is it significant?

Tayla:

If there is one thing that I am discovering while reading the books 
for probably the 6th time, because I keep finding stuff that I 
missed is that when it comes to JKR, even the little things matter.  
If she is hiding something, she will interrupt herself or not 
complete the sentence.  She set the stage for that one in the very 
first book.  After going back and reading it again, Harry was 
sitting on the lawn and watched an owl flying by.  Doesn't seem very 
important, does it?  However, you can speculate that THAT owl was 
the very owl that was calling Dumbledore away from Hogwarts.  This 
makes a simple description relevant.  If she says in an interview 
that there is a cemetary on the grounds, you can bet it is going to 
come up somewhere.  Perhaps it has to do with the Bloody Baron, or 
any other of the Hogwarts ghosts?
