Dear Leaky Cauldron,

I heard that the American editions of the books have a lot of changes from the British ones. Can you tell me what they are?

A Devoted Reader



Dear Devoted Reader,

The HP Lexicon has tracked each change - for example, here's the first book. In general, most changes have to do with words that have one meaning in Great Britain and another in the United States (for example, jumper/sweater).
