Ooh nooo... They didn't. I've seen the American version of the books, 
and there is lemon drop instead of sherbet lemon in a later book, and 
flavor instead of flavour, the same with colour, etc... I think i'll 
order and read the British books as soon as i finish my exams.

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>
