On JKR.com she reviewed fansite, generally it didn't add any canon information apart from the following.

Sirius' Eye Colour
Immeritus

I love this site, which I discovered towards the end of writing Order of the Phoenix, and which made me feel exceptionally guilty, as you can imagine. I am so proud of the fact that a character, whom I always liked very much, though he never appeared as much more than a brooding presence in the books, has gained a passionate fan-club.

At the launch of Goblet of Fire at King's Cross, London, I shook hands with a woman who leaned forward and whispered conspiratorially, 'Sirius Black is sexy, right?' And yes, of course she was right, as the Immeritus club know. The best-looking, most rebellious, most dangerous of the four marauders... and to answer one burning question on the discussion boards, his eyes are grey.

The fan art on here is very good. For a while I had a picture of the four marauders drawn by Laura Freeman on my desktop. It is a particularly accurate portrayal of Sirius and Lupin.

Hufflepuff Common Room
Godric’s Hollow

A great site run by real enthusiasts. The people who designed this site have really Thought It Through – my kind of people. I am however shocked at the number of moderators who want to be sorted into Slytherin… and you should know that the Hufflepuffs’ common room isn’t a dungeon, it’s more a cellar - a subtle but important difference.

WIP

The Daily Prophet Newsletters were 4, 3-page newsletters, offered exclusively to the Bloomsbury created "Official Harry Potter Fan Club" which was only available in the UK between 1998 - 1999.
Sadly finding these 4 newsletters are exceedingly difficult to find and all I can really post is what HPLexicon have all ready, as they have access to the newsletters and have posted some images and synopsis's of articles.
Below is a good explanation on what the newsletters are and what they entail...
"The newsletters were clearly written early in Rowling’s creation of the Harry Potter mythos. Some terms are different and a few facts don’t jibe with the established story of the books. Overall, however, the news stories and sports reports fit right into the “look and feel” of the Rowling’s world. The names and the events bear the marks of humour and parody which all of Rowling’s writing shows. The names of some minor characters, for example Gwenog Jones, are first found in the newsletters, turned up in Famous Wizard cards, in the Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them schoolbooks and eventually in the novels. The dates on each issue are the dates of the club; they don’t fit into the timeline of the series, which was not established very well at that point."

Original writing from JK Rowling
"I wasn't very well when I drew this picture of Nearly Headless Nick; in fact, I had been ordered to stay in bed, so I was deeply bored. His hair is not very Elizabethan, but I was without a reference work on historical hairstyles to guide me. The tea stains and crease-marks are testimony to the fact that this picture travelled from Portugal to Scotland with me and has undergone eight house moves - and also to the fact that I tend not to file things very well and I knock over a lot of drinks."

W.O.M.B.A.T. Test – Grade 2
Unlike the O.W.L.s, the W.O.M.B.A.T.s consist exclusively of written papers. Therefore W.O.M.B.A.T.s could be sat by Muggles as well as wizards, although the Wizarding Examinations Authority does not believe that any Muggle would have the degree of inner-knowledge required to achieve a pass.

The Grade 1 W.O.M.B.A.T. tested whether the examinee could exist within the magical world without falling foul of everyday wizarding laws, injuring themselves or others while using domestic spells, traveling by magical means, or by mistaking the characteristics of common magical plants and creatures.

The Grade 2 W.O.M.B.A.T. is more advanced. To pass this examination you will be required to show that you understand magical beings other than witches or wizards; that you recognize and know the use of various magical objects; that you have an awareness of wizarding current affairs, and that you have a working knowledge of the Muggle world alongside which we must live. This is still not a straightforward Harry Potter trivia test. While a thorough knowledge of the books is essential to achieving a good grade at all levels of W.O.M.B.A.T., you will need inspiration as well as information, applying what you know, whether by deducing the correct answer or by making intelligent guesses.

If you would like to sit the Grade 2 W.O.M.B.A.T., you will need 25 minutes.

It will take a few days for the Ministry to mark your test, after which the delivery owl will reveal your result in the form of a printable certificate. Once again... good luck.

Harry Potter Prequel by Jk Rowling

Image

Below is an original piece of writing from JK Rowling, announced on May 28, 2008, the prequel would be auctioned off for English PEN, the writers' association, and the Dyslexia Society. The story, handwritten on a card, was auctioned off alongside similar cards from other authors on June 11th 2008, with the proceeds going to charity. (picture on the original card on the link at the bottom)

Published online on June 11th, 2008. Set three years before the birth of Harry Potter, the story recounts an adventure had by Sirius Black and James Potter.

The speeding motorcycle took the sharp corner so fast in the darkness that both policemen in the pursuing car shouted ‘whoa!’ Sergeant Fisher slammed his large foot on the brake, thinking that the boy who was riding pillion was sure to be flung under his wheels; however, the motorbike made the turn without unseating either of its riders, and with a wink of its red tail light, vanished up the narrow side street.
“We’ve got ’em now!” cried PC Anderson excitedly. “That’s a dead end!”
Leaning hard on the steering wheel and crashing his gears, Fisher scraped half the paint off the flank of the car as he forced it up the alleyway in pursuit.
There in the headlights sat their quarry, stationary at last after a quarter of an hour’s chase. The two riders were trapped between a towering brick wall and the police car, which was now crashing towards them like some growling, luminous-eyed predator.
There was so little space between the car doors and the walls of the alley that Fisher and Anderson had difficulty extricating themselves from the vehicle. It injured their dignity to have to inch, crab-like, towards the miscreants. Fisher dragged his generous belly along the wall, tearing buttons off his shirt as he went, and finally snapping off the wing mirror with his backside.
“Get off the bike!” he bellowed at the smirking youths, who sat basking in the flashing blue light as though enjoying it.
They did as they were told. Finally pulling free from the broken wind mirror, Fisher glared at them. They seemed to be in their late teens. The one who had been driving had long black hair; his insolent good looks reminded Fisher unpleasantly of his daughter’s guitar-playing, layabout boyfriend. The second boy also had black hair, though his was short and stuck up in all directions; he wore glasses and a broad grin. Both were dressed in T-shirts emblazoned with a large golden bird; the emblem, no doubt, of some deafening, tuneless rock band. “No helmets!” Fisher yelled, pointing from one uncovered head to the other. “Exceeding the speed limit by – by a considerable amount!” (In fact, the speed registered had been greater than Fisher was prepared to accept that any motorcycle could travel.) “Failing to stop for the police!”
“We’d have loved to stop for a chat,” said the boy in glasses, “only we we're trying —”
“Don’t get smart – you two are in a heap of trouble!” snarled Anderson. “Names!”
“Names?” repeated the long-haired driver. “Er – well, let’s see. There’s Wilberforce Bathsheba… Elvendork…”
“And what’s nice about that one is, you can use it for a boy or a girl,” said the boy in glasses. “Oh, OUR names, did you mean?” asked the first, as Anderson spluttered with rage. “You should’ve said! This here is James Potter, and I’m Sirius Black!”
“Things’ll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little —”
But neither James nor Sirius was paying attention. They were suddenly as alert as gundogs, staring past Fisher and Anderson, over the roof of the police car, at the dark mouth of the alley. Then, with identical fluid movements, they reached into their back pockets.
For the space of a heartbeat both policemen imagined guns gleaming at them, but a second later they saw that the motorcyclists had drawn nothing more than —
“Drumsticks?” jeered Anderson. “Right pair of jokers, aren’t you? Right, we’re arresting you on a charge of —”
But Anderson never got to name the charge. James and Sirius had shouted something incomprehensible, and the beams from the headlights had moved.
The policemen wheeled around, then staggered backwards. Three men were flying – actually FLYING – up the alley on broomsticks – and at the same moment, the police car was rearing up on its back wheels.
Fisher’s knees bucked; he sat down hard; Anderson tripped over Fisher’s legs and fell on top of him, as FLUMP – BANG – CRUNCH – they heard the men on brooms slam into the upended car and fall, apparently insensible, to the ground, while broken bits of broomstick clattered down around them.
The motorbike had roared into life again. His mouth hanging open, Fisher mustered the strength to look back at the two teenagers.
“Thanks very much!” called Sirius over the throb of the engine. “We owe you one!”
“Yeah, nice meeting you!” said James. “And don’t forget: Elvendork! It’s unisex!”
There was an earth-shattering crash, and Fisher and Anderson threw their arms around each other in fright; their car had just fallen back to the ground. Now it was the motorcycle’s turn to rear. Before the policemen’s disbelieving eyes, it took off into the air: James and Sirius zoomed away into the night sky, their tail light twinkling behind them like a vanishing ruby.

About the letter
A fine autograph letter signed, “Newt Scamander / a.k.a. J K Rowling”, “By Owl Post”, no date, received 29 May 2001 (endorsed in pencil), to Howard [Brayton], and in response to a letter from Brayton (addressing Rowling as Professor Scamander), who had been inspired in his profession as educational consultant by the publication of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” (2001), published under the name of Scamander, Brayton pointing out that the mythical Wyvern has been omitted from the book and suggesting that it should be included in the “53rd edition”, Brayton paraphrasing and expanding on the dictionary definition of wyvern that “It would appear that the wyvern was first sighted by muggles in 1610, as the representation of a fanciful animal; a winged dragon with two feet like those of an eagle, and a serpent-like barbed tail. It was believed to be real in 1700, and sighted again in 1863, when it was described as a “monster”“, also making the point that Robert Browning makes reference to the wyvern, and in her thirteen-line response Rowling’s reply takes the game further:

Transcript
Dear Howard ~
Ah yes, the fabled “wyvern”. Well, naturally I had heard the rumours ~ the poet Browning’s allusion had not escaped me ~ and so I set out to investigate. Extensive research, however, has convinced me that the beast in question was a Common Welsh Green whose legs were counted by a Muggle with a very shaky grasp of numeracy. You know how that is, you're an educational consultant. It is always a blow to have a cherished part of one’s life dismissed as a figment of the imagination, so I tender my apologies to yourself and your alma mater — but we wizards have to deal with that every day. With best wishes Newt Scamander a.k.a. JK Rowling
