Hogwarts Graveyard

Someone just said something that gave me a sudden Harry Potter idea. Most of us know that the PoA director wanted to add a graveyard to the movie as a mood-inducing backdrop, but Rowling wouldn't let him because Hogwarts aready has a graveyard that Harry hasn't yet discovered. Someone remarked that Harry might not have gone very far on the night of

I didn't know anything about a graveyard. Hmm!

The PoA interviews with J.K. Rowling and Cuaron mention the fact that he wanted to have Buckbeak's execution in a graveyard. Rowling wouldn't let him, for the reasons Anna mentioned.

Now, Anna: I think you've got something there. Do you think Rowling meant he hasn't discovered it yet in Book 3, or that he hasn't discovered it yet at all?

Oh! That's a good question. I guess I should look up the quote. The fact that Harry HAS been in the Riddle graveyard might be the end of my theory. As my sister Carissa said, it's also problematic that the Riddle graveyard is a resting place for muggles. However, what if the wizards just use it in a different dimension? Perhaps the room of requirements is somehow foreshadowing/introduction to the idea of magic places that don't always seem to be there. I'm probably getting pretty far out :-)

*pauses to think*

Isn't the graveyeard in GoF the one where Voldemort's Dad is buried? Or am I completely forgetting things? If that were the case then it really couldn't be the one on the Hogwarts grounds.

(Book 6 is coming out in July! I really can't believe it!)
