Speaking of wands.
Probably an old discussion but new to me. Tried to find earlier posts 
on this but no luck.

In my danish PS-edition it says - Harry trying out wands at 
Ollivanders - that the one which chose him is made of *chimera horn* 
(danish: kimærehorn) and that Voldemorts wand has the other half of 
it (since it's a twin *chimera horn*).
No mention of Phoenix Feathers.

In my UK PS-copy it does say Phoenix Feathers (with no mention of 
*chimera horn* at all).

Wondering if it is only in the danish versions that this occurs - or 
if it has been in any of the UK/American/other languages, too, that 
the mention was of *chimera horn* instead of Phoenix Feathers.
And if so - why the change? 
(In books 2-5 in the danish edition the Phoenix Feather is mentioned 
and no more talk of *chimera horn*).
