This though came as a total shock to me, thanks Pippin for nudging 
my brain into overdrive heheh.
I guess the film had poisoned my imagination until now, because they 
make it obvious - with the addition of clouds, etc.- that the orb is 
indeed the moon. The miracles of CGI. Now, while this is not canon, 
it is true that JKR had a say in things she deemed important. She, 
for instance, I recall made sure that Dean Thomas was cast as a 
black Londoner (Thomas was apparently a character whose back story 
had to be cut from the books). Following that line of thought, it 
seems to me that if the orb had _not_ been a moon, she would have 
stepped in and said so.
