Asian_lovr2:

Indeed there is a difference between the US and UK edition. As well as
the change from 'disappeared' to 'died', I believe the UK edition says
'...one more curse' whereas the US edition says '...one more death'. 

I suspect the US editors thought it was referring to Harry, when it
was actually referring to Barty Crouch Sr.

Hope that helps.
