The Harry Potter Galleries have assembled a list of the text differences between 
the US and UK editions:

They also have posted an interview with the Scholastic editor who originally 
decided to make all these changes. I think he's an idiot, and a symbol of all that's

he was responsible for making significant decisions at the US's largest academic 
publisher.
