Forum:Canonicity of Class List

The shown by J.K. Rowling in the 2001 television documentary Harry Potter and Me is generally not considered canon due to the number of points at which it conflicts with information from the books. However, according to a transcript of the program, Rowling described the list as such:
 * "So this is the name of everyone in Harry's year and all these little symbols mean what house they're in, how magical they are, what their parentage is, because I needed this later for the Death Eaters and so on, and the various allegiances that will be set up within the school."

She doesn't say "this is the name of everyone who was going to be in Harry's year," so I'm wondering if information from the class list should be considered canonical, as long as it doesn't directly contradict information from a newer source (e.g., Queenie Greengrass, Trevor Boot, Michael Corner and Anthony Goldstein in Hufflepuff)? &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f (Owl me!) 22:41, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
