Yes.  They have all been "Americanized" but the earlier books more so
than the last.  (Scholastic thought they'd have to "translate" the
books to apeal to americans.  Apparently travel through reading is an
unheard of concept to them.)  For about $35, you can order a box set
of softcover UK editions 1-4 from www.amazon.co.uk  That's what I did.
 Speaking of which, I wish we knew when the softcover editions for
OotP are coming out...
