Do the British have a different version of the books than the Americans?

No: HPFGUIDX 1402

I was gonna write this up for the FAQ (for Book one, anyway) but 
haven't got 'round to it yet.  But to summarize some I remember off 
the top of my head:

Chapter 1 - Dumbledore is eating lemon drops in US version, lemon 
something else in British.  

I believe some of the various candy/sweets mention in the book get 
renamed between versions as well.

Note that a 'Knickerbocker Glory', however, which they get at the
zoo, 
is referred to in the US version as well, but it is not a recipe 
familiar to most US readers.

Mrs Dursley refuses to 'hoover' in Harry's room, instead of 'vacuum' 
in the US version, after he gets Hedwig.

In the US version the Weasleys get 'sweaters' at Christmas, as
opposed 
to 'jumpers' in the UK version (Jumper being a synonym for a sweater 
in the UK, but referring to a kind of girl's dress in the US!)

When preparing for finals in the US version the trio 'studies'; in
the 
UK version they 'revise'.

I need to finish that list, along with several other postponed 
self-appointed tasks....
