Jen D. here,
I think one of the most interesting differences comes in with the 
British slang vs. American. Earlier on, Scholastic regularly 
Americanized things. My daughter and I got hold of a UK edition of 
POA and had so much fun going through to see what had been changed. 
We have noticed in OOP and HPB that much more of the British words 
are being used such as trainers, jumper, taking the mickey out of 
someone,  many more that I can't remember right off the bat. 
Jen, thinking she might do her nut if she doesn't find her keys!
