I too heard a rumour that they might not bother, and will try and 
find the link I read it at.  I know Bloomsbury did not have anything 
on their site last time I checked.

Perhaps they feel there no longer the need to make the kind of 
changes mentioned a long time ago in previous posts of a bygone 
age.......  

After all canon is now so well established and so widely read that it 
is possibly (?) not worth the effort.  I was always suprised that 
Scolastic worried people would not know about philosopher's stones in 
the U.S. anyway.  Children and those who read regularly take odd 
words in their stride and find out about them later.
