phrase.  I meant to broaden the question to ask if she used B. 
Crouch, Jr. in any other context or conversation in the book.  I 
realize she could not have used Jr. in the map.  I just thought 
somewhere in the US version Junior had be used in referring to Barty 
the younger.  I must have assumed it--categorized his "junior" 
standing as it is common place to do in America.

Geoff:
In most places, only one of the Crouch family is being discussed and 
so the context indicates which one is involved. The only place, I 
think, where there is extensive reference to both simultaneously is 
in the chapter "Padfoot Returns" where Sirius is talking to Harry and 
the others about the way in which Crouch (Senior) treated Crouch 
(Junior) and is most cases, he refers to the latter as "the boy" 
or "his son". Up to that point, we are not aware of his son's 
existence. In the courtroom scene in "The Pensieve", BCj's name is 
not actually mentioned.
