JKR has been so ridiculous that I established a rule for myself: if it's not stated in the canonical work(s) themselves, it's not canon and I can embrace or ignore it as I desire. Ah yes, I absolutely get that. I think it depends on the fandom in that case. Good Omens - ANYTHING the creators says is welcome because I trust them. Joss Whedon... What's on screen, nothing else. Doctor Who... Doctor Who basically doesn't have a canon, so anything goes:
13-year-old!Lauren was very impressionable, so to this day I am averse to What Is Canon debates. I have my own ideas, but I don't care what other people think. You should love my link above! The thing about Doctor Who is that no one 'owns' it. There have been so many showrunners and writers that there is no one person who can say what is and isn't canon.
Do you love the book lots? Or are you more just a fan of the show? I can't remember. I fell in love with the show and then bought the book (and the script book). Am very very fond of the book, but prefer TV canon.
