[Special note to HPfGU posters: "canon" is the word you are almost
definitely wanting.  It means "official law", "authoritative", etc.
"Cannon" -- with 2 N's -- is a big piece of military artillery, which
as far as I know has not appeared in Harry Potter canon.]

Just to be pedantic cannons HAVE appeared in Harry Potter books.
First in PS/SS where Dudley stupidly asks where the cannon upon
being awoken and I think also in the chapter in OotP where Harry
muses about the weapon. I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong,
that Harry dreams of something akin to a cannonand described as such.
