Erm, I don't think that there is a difference (IMO). Chamber is an
old English word which has generally fallen out of usage. It does
mean though... room! It more commonly referred to a bedroom (very
similar to the French word "chambre".
I guess using the word "Chamber" conjures up something different in
your mind to the word room, but it wouldn't exactly be wrong. I agree
with all the posts that it was just a joke about the name change
though - when they're dining out on the success of the books, why
bother to change the name?
