| It's also, I think, just a matter of how marketing works. 
| Bloomsbury only owns the rights in the UK, and JKR sold 
| foreign rites in many different countries that are then 
| published by different publishers. What you're objecting to 
| is probably changes in the language--that's where kids would 
| learn. Though it would also just be a case of putting the 
| book into the standard copy style of the US publisher. Iow, 
| changing the style of punctuation along with putting out 
| their own edition re: book design and font styles and all that.

[Lee]:
And why they should be allowed to change so much is beyond me!  It would be
one thing if the books were translated from a non-english language.  But,
IMHO, the only thing that should have been changed was the name of the
publisher and that's it.

End of griping and growling...Can't change what is.
