Hi, Carol! The only difference is that in the British edition it 
is "Mokeskin" (starts with an upper-case M), and in the American 
edition it is just "mokeskin" :-). In the Russian translation it 
is "donkey skin" (or should it be "ass's skin"?), which doesn't make 
much sense, IMO, even though I know that "moke" can mean "donkey". 
Personally I would never doubt that JKR meant Moke from the "Fantastic 
Beasts" here, if not for the "furry" aspect of this supposedly lizard 
skin, which confuses me even today :-).


zanooda, wondering if JKR forgot her own description of Mokes in 
the "Fantastic Beasts".
