I'd been wondering whether, and if so how much, the text had been 
Americanised this time. For example, what is the tailor's dummy in the window of Purge 
and Dowse (the shop fronting St Mungo's, Ch. 22) wearing in the US edition? In 
the UK edition it's a pinafore dress. Has that been changed to jumper as 
Harry's jumper was changed to sweater in PS/SS?
