The change was made and now it’s part of Harry Potter history.ĭifferences Between British and US editions of the Books: It never occurred to her that her books would be known the world over and that she would one day wish she could change it back. She says that she now regrets her decision to allow the change, but at the time she felt that she had to go along with the advice of her editors.
Rowling reluctantly went along with the change, which was suggested by Arthur Levine of Scholastic Books. Probably the most infamous change of all is that of the title of book one.
However, some differences are a bit less easy to explain, such as the change which removed the number of Sirius’s Gringotts vault in the US version. For example, the UK version uses the term “ skip” while the US edition uses the term “dumpster.” While some would contend that there is no reason why American readers couldn’t work out what a British term means, those kinds of changes do have some logic to them.
