UPS says that my deeelux copy of HBP is currently overnighting in Mesquite, TX. I have no idea where the fuck that is.

But it doesn't matter, because I'm actually picking up another copy in Las Vegas Friday night with the ConStrict folks! *squees* Three whole days of slashy fun! I'm so excited!

Yes, it is, but it's mostly just language differences. The US editions, especially the earlier books, were "translated" into American English. As a result, some things are phrased slightly differently. Interestingly, they didn't change the language as much for OOTP. Maybe they think the American fans are getting used to Britglish? ;-) Of course, I've talked to American readers who actually had trouble understanding anything the Weasleys said in that book!

Hmm...sounds very interesting! I'm going to get my UK copy when all 7 books are published to save on shipping...I can't wait to decipher the Weasleys' "secret" language! (^_~)
