Geoff:
But somewhere lurking in the back of my mind is the belief that I saw 
a reference to a comment from JKR when Alfonso Cuaran wanted to have 
a graveyard scene in the film version of Azkaban. IIRC he was told 
that he could not have it where he wanted it because there was a 
graveyard at Hogwarts but in a different part of the school grounds.

I shall now genuflect abjectly to the elves for referring to the 
medium which dare not speak its name
