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)
