Now me again:

I just did an Internet search, and found that our very own Steve, 
with the able assistance of Edward Olson and Grey Wolf, has already 
detailed all of the differences between the UK and US editions of all 
four of the books on the (not always infallible, but wonderful all 
the same) Lexicon.

The sites are as follows:

who is still happy to have ordered the UK version of all of the 
books, since they have "adult editions" not offered in the US (note 
to Scholastic: yes, there *are* adults that read Harry Potter in the 
US!)
