Was US POA audio modified from UK or US print?

No: HPFGUIDX 95339

The quoting is off because mods sent my messages back with a request I
combine messages to save on bandwidth.  Those were my only available
copies.  Sorry about any confusion.

It's distinctly possible but my initial query was orientated around
the US audio rendition rephrasing the print.  I'm not completely through
the US audio of POA again but I'm fairly positive I've heard two 'bangs'
references on the Knight Bus and one 'bangs' reference during a
quidditch match.

[edited question to the moderators]

In general, it's already been established the UK and US book
editions do have discrepancies, which I'm willing to bet has already been
beaten to death here, but I was surprised by the audio edition rephrasing
words from their print counterpart.

In other words, there are possible discrepancies between the UK and
US editions not documented by the Lexicon.

Also, there are at least two references to 'bangs' on the US audio
for just the Knight Bus scene... in between all the bangs from the
Knight Bus itself.

Overall, rather trivial but I was curious.

Hm, I really should get book copies but money keeps going elsewhere.
