Movie Contamination in HBP/Draco's Hand of Glory/Stan Shunpike/Wormtail's hand a horcrux

I've been looking through POA for Ron's reference about Draco's Hand of Glory but I can't find it.  I did, however, find a quote from JKR at Quick Quotes:

"Question: Did you ever make a study of herbs and other Hogwarts subjects, or did you create all those classes from inspiration?
J.K. Rowling responds: Most of the magic is made up. Occasionally I will use something that people used to believe was true - for example, the "Hand of Glory" which Draco gets from Borgin and Burkes in Chamber of Secrets."   This is from an interview on 16 Oct 2000 with Schoolastic.  So obviously, he does have it.  Just for the record that's the first time the search at Quick Quotes has ever come through for me.
-------------------

Most horribly, I have found movie contamination in HBP.  In POA we have this: "Hermione got there first - SMACK! She had *slapped* Malfoy around the face with all the strength she could muster. Malfoy staggered.  Harry, Ron, Crabbe and Goyle stood flabbergasted as Hermione raised her hand again." ( pg 216 Can Ed)  But then in HBP it says "Malfoy looked rather like he had done the time Hermione *punched* him in the face." (pg 176 Can Ed)  She only punched him in the movie version.

Sherry asked:
"Has anyone else noticed how much Stan Shunpike has been mentioned?  We 
find out in book three that he is a conducter.  He is seen trying to 
get the Vela's attention in book four, then back to conducter for book 
five.  Now in book six, he is mentioned several times.  It just seemed 
odd to me that he is mention so regularly when Dedalus Diggle is a 
member of the Order, and is hardly ever mentioned.  Anyone have some 
speculation?"

No speculation, but I did notice that Stan was arrested at his home in Clapham which is also where Sturgis Podmore lives according to OotP (pg 258 Can ed) "Trespass at the Ministry.  Sturgis Podmore, 38, of number two, Laburnum Gardens, Clapham,  ... charged with trespass and attempted robbery at the Ministry."  

I wondered if there is some kind of connection although I have no idea what it would be.  We've also heard virtually nothing, since their introduction to Harry in "The Advance Guard" chapter of OotP, of Elphias Dodge or Hestia Jones.  Diggle was mentioned by McGonagall in PS and, if I recall HP actually met him at the Leaky Cauldron in that book, and recognized him from seeing him on the street.

Chys: said:  "it after he killed Cedric, 
and it wouldn't be like putting your soul into something, more like 
transfiguring it into a metal hand?"


LV didn't kill Cedric, Wormtail did with LV's wand.  It would be Wormtail's soul that split here, not LV's.
