I sincerely apologize if this question seems totally off the wall,however, I am very curious to know what the difference is between theUK book version and the American book version. Is there any? I read"somewhere" that the UK version of book five will be out by the endof the summer, whereas the American version won't be out until theend of fall... Couldn't I just read the UK version and know andunderstand it all? Tara
THe only real differences are in wordage and colloquiisms (spelling?) The story is the same. For example: (UK)jumper=(AM)sweater. Also there are British sayings and phrases that are different here in America. I've read each version of all four books 2+ times. These sorts of things were all I noticed. :o)
