I took a couple of minutes to trace the posts I believe you are referring
to. Excerpts include:

"Fortunately, someone posted a rumour here a while back stating that the
sets
would definitely be minifig-scale... I think it was copied over here from
1000steine, the German website, and was supposedly leaked from a friend in
LEGO at some stage.  By now, certainly, there should be plenty of people
inside
the LEGO corporate structure privy to that most basic piece of information,
so
I feel confident in believing it."

"Anyhow the report was that the Potter sets will use minifigures, but that
Hagrid will be larger somehow. I have no idea how they are going to do
that.This makes sense to me as the System piece range, typical size and
price ranges seem to mesh with the core Potter audience of 7-12 years.
Creator sets and figures are aimed at a lower age range. I am hoping that
someone will get a glimpse of the Potter sets from either the Nernberg or
New York toy fairs though. C'mon, surely someone is getting in!"

But the kicker is...the original post you speak of!

I wonder how you say confirmed in German?

Die Harry-Potter-Figuren sollen MINIFIGS sein, keine Creator- oder
Belville-Figuren

   which means

   "The Harry Potter Figures shall be minifigs, no Creator- or
   Belville figures."  The implication is shall in the English
   'will' sense, not the English 'should' sense.  But I'm not
   sure of the veracity of the poster, what their source is.
   Native German speakers feel free to deflate me.
