British V American

I was just over at the movie list and saw something that almost made 
me cry before I was told it was a parody. An article talking about a 
WB tv series Harry Potter. They mentioned Americanizing the series 
for an American Audience. 

That reminded me of something I keep meaning to bring up. Throughout 
the novels there are tons of Britishisms and British culture 
including words, phrases, foods, traditions, etc.  So many, in fact, 
that I would like to do away with the American edited version all 
together. I havent read any of the British versions of the books but 
they can't be THAT different, can they? We Americans have become 
accustomed to many phrases and Britishisms by now anyway. 

Am I the only one that feels this way?
