Harry Potter

I wonder if somehow i ended up borrowing a British version then because there were a LOT of British terms like that which had me puzzled as to what they meant. ...I was like "Jeeze! If this is the American version how different is the British version?!"

I don't remember reading sweater, but i do remember puzzling over Jumper.

And remember... I was borrowing book one from the library when it was EASY to get a hold of a copy of book three there.

I...
Also, did you know that the British release ones were slightly different than the American (schloastic) ones? Like, for instance in book one when they're discussing Harry's clothes right at the beginning, the British one refers to a 'Jumper', but the American one refers to 'Sweater' -- i guess its' since the British terms for some things aren't the same as the American ones

You probably got one of the early releases, because I puzzled over the same thing for a LONG time. I think the first reprintings aren't usually thoroughly edited for such things, if at all.

I have a few copies: all in PB, HB, and CD, and SS in Braille. Oh, and all the movies, too.

I seen a copy once at B&N! I thought that was so cool... but the poor thing was so tattered. Should have had a reduced price sticker on it. It looked like it had been in a library for YEARS rather than being a new release.

Seems to have been much loved!

I want to read them so badly now. More hours in the day would help!

I've read them all and have seen all the movies. The movies definitely pale in comparison to the depth of the books.

I'll be catching a matinee of Order of the Phoenix next Wednesday and will be at a book release party in Toronto.

I have not read any of the books, yet. Ironically, I love to read, Ralph raraely reads, but he has read all 6 and has a pre-ordered copy of the 7th (if my mom put the order in?)

I have said all along I would wait for them all so I could read them back to back without waiting. To be honest thathas been my dealy, cause I didn't have much interest in reading them. Now that the 7th is coming out I guess I have to sit down and read them.

They are fun and while I do not have to be the first to read volume seven I certainly will read it.
But Karen, being a semi-professional reader and having worked in publishing you should respect copyright and not read some word files that are scanned in and pirated on the web
