I'm guessing here--girls toilet to girls bathroom, for one. If you
are interested, there is a complete [and I do mean COMPLETE] listing of the
differences between the US and the UK books on 

www.hpgalleries.com

in the "Word Galleries" section. It's very interesting if you don't
have access to a British version of the books.

They very cleverly got around the jumper-sweater thing in the film by
not using _either_ word in the Christmas scene. 

I did find it distracting, though, thinking every time they said
"sorcerer's stone" that they'd already filmed it with "philosopher's stone".
Hopefully, Chamber of Secrets with just make do with the UK version!
