I bought all three books from England, too, to keep my American
collection company <g>. There's not too much in the way of language
differences. There's the big one - the title of the first book -
Philosopher's Stone versus Sorceror's Stone.

I haven't read the English versions in detail, but I did spot some of the
standard spelling differences, such as "coloured" versus "colored." That
still would be an interesting and educational reading experience for an
American child.
