*thud!* They change the English in Harry Potter to suit the American market? You're kidding!

Honestly, if I were American, I think I'd be pretty indignant that the marketeers didn't think I'd be able to cope with a slightly different version of English. I'm sure nobody here would have a problem understanding it!
