Now me:

I have the Scholastic versions of all of the books, but after hearing 
of the "curse" to "murder" switch, I decided to buy the UK versions 
to see if there were any other wording switches like that one that 
actually change the meaning of the text (as opposed to just 
clarifying what's being said, such as with the "jumper" to "sweater" 
example).  As I read through the UK versions, I'll let the group know 
whether I've noticed any other such discrepancies.  (I have no idea 
how much I paid for the books since I don't know what the current 
exchange rate is...)

This is the first I've heard of a June 3 date (I had heard June 2003, 
but not a specific date) - I was wondering where that date was 
confirmed?
