...in other fandoms you can often see fic marked as either "book canon" or "movie canon" (never seen that in HP for some reason)...
I have seen it occasionally (mostly when referring to characters vs actors, e.g. book!Snape vs movie!Snape). But you don't see it often, you're right. Perhaps that's because the movies don't diverge in major ways from the books? Nobody acts out of character, scenes aren't invented out of whole cloth, the arc for each of the characters matches what happens in the books, etc. So there's very little conflict between book canon and movie canon.
Unlike, say, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, which diverge wildly from the books at many, many, many places.
