I just dug this link out for mantypants: the differences between the US and UK versions of the Harry Potter books. I always get stuck reading through it for ages marvelling at all the ridiculous little changes that were made.

For example in The Chamber of Secrets:
UK pg. 42: He fell, face forward, onto cold stone and felt his glasses shatter.
US pg. 49: He fell, face forward, onto cold stone and felt the bridge of his glasses snap.

Why on earth did that need to be changed? o_0

Well, that's probably the case thinking about it! But it's still a little random! I guess it's the Mum/Mom type changes that bug me the most - where it's obvious what the meaning is.
