David Said:

>" FromAmerican Edition" "Then he heard *Riddle's* hissing voice: Kill him.
The basilisk was moving toward Harry; he could hear its heavy body slithering heavily across the dusty floor. Eyes still tightly shut, Harry began to run blindly sideways, his hands outstretched, feeling his way -- *Voldemort* was laughing--" (Emphases mine)
If Riddle and Voldemort are not one and the same, then when did Voldemort appear for Harry to be able to hear his laughter? or Why does JKR call the spirit from the diary by both names?<


DuffyPoo now:

But in my Canadian edition (Raincoast - which is supposed to be identical to the British Edition) - it uses *Riddle* in both places.

I have to say that I am truly - truly - beginning to despise these differences in the texts and what, exactly, JKR means by them.
