Hi Kristen,

I read the British editions first and have since read the US 
editions. Sorcerer's Stone definitely had the most changes as far as 
I could tell. In the second book onward, the only changes really were 
spellings (color instead of colour etc.) and a few terms (sweater 
instead of jumper, sneakers instead of trainers etc.), but in the 
first book they changed not only the title but a few other phrasings 
(Harry has been accepted at Hogwarts instead of having a place at 
Hogwarts etc.). There weren't any pictures through the orig. editions 
I read and the cover art, font style and size are different also for 
all of them.

Cheers,
Alia
