JK Rowling is a great author!.
I wondered the same question about the different versions of Harry Potter!. So when i traveled abroad I purchased a copy of the British book of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (number six)!.
I noticed many small differences!. For one the spelling is different for the same words!. Like color and colour!. Same word different spellings!. Terms are not changed thought!. I have read English version and British and both say the same thing!.
As for the covers, there are different illustrators!.
You can see the cover of the English version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at this link!. http://i6!.photobucket!.com/albums/y250/Ph!.!.!.

The spelling is different and some of the terms but really, Americans aren't all stupid!. I knew what a philosopher stone was before the book came out and changing it to sorcerer's stone was really unnecessary!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i know the first book's called the sorcerers stone in the US but the philosophers stone in UK and Australia but thats it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would assume just the language, or slang terms, and the spelling of words (maths, centre, colour)!. Not sure though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
