Not much, just terms and spelling. Color vs colour, bathroom vs lavatory, stuff like that.

I thought a bathroom was a "water closet" in Britain?

Also, I have a feeling, just a feeling that in Book One they refer to the "Philosopher's Stone" rather than the "Sorceror's Stone." I have no idea why I have this feeling, but I do.

Sorry, my mistake.

Just know that there are term changes. I remember one about a toilet seat being called something else.. you can Google the differences pretty easily.

spoiler:











In the 6th book there is one extra line in the scene where Dumbledore is facing Draco where he mentions something along the lines of that draco can't die if he is already dead inside or something.

PS. I bet you looked for something with the spoiler warning.

Pretty Interesting Topic!!!
Mainly when I googled about this topic, i found that the differences between American Vs Britain English whatever told by someone else above...

I agreed to Mr. Sarco the Legend. Basically, termical difference is more...
