Which brings me to a gripe - why even "americanize" the book in the first
place? I read many English novels when I was a child & figured out the
different terms (ie. jumper = sweater, boot = trunk) from using context
clues. If the publishers were that concerned about the colloquialisms,
why not put a glossary in the back? Better yet (for the publishers),
publish a Harry Potter companion.
