I think they stopped "translating" after book one. It drives me nuts that they did that - I'd like to read the British version because it's how JKR wrote it. Although there are some confusing differences for little kids (jumper vs. sweater, lemon drop vs. sherbet lemon, etc) it's not that bad, and I think would be a good learning tool. <shrug> 

Wish I could get my hands on a British version. <g>
