Potioncat:

I think the Lexicon has a list of differences.

Although I'd much prefer to read a book the way it was written, I can 
understand why the first couple of HP books were changed. At that time, 
Scholastic was selling the books to American kids--and some of the 
words do have different meanings. I wish they had added a section 
explaining the differences rather than changing the words. The type of 
kids who would pick up a HP book, are not the type to be put off by 
extra reading material.
