How different are the British and American editions this time? Mums, 
jumpers, pudding, sniggers etc. all stayed in. The only sure edit was 
when someone says something about the sorcerer's stone, and I 
wondered when Harry was on the Express at the end if the word toilet 
was substituted for loo. Otherwise, I'm thinking I might not buy the 
British edition this time out.
