I've just been reminded...

...that some HP fans, fed up with the text of the US editions of the books being messed around with, are choosing to order the British editions from Amazon UK instead. This is fine if you really want to order all the way from the UK, but there's a much simpler and probably cheaper method --

Just order them from Canada. Our editions have the same text as the UK editions (not the US ones), and if you preorder from either Amazon.ca or Chapters Indigo, they'll ship it to you by June 21st.

This public service announcement has been brought to you by an annoyingly smug Canadian.

You've every right to be smug. It is exceedingly annoying that they feel the need to excise the Britishisms from the American editions. The minute I found out about it, I ordered the whole set from Canada, as you so wisely suggest. For OotP, we've ordered both editions, which keeps both sets intact AND has the added advantage of keeping us from divorcing over who gets to read the book first. (I've already claimed the Canadian version). Yes, we look a little silly with an entire row of duplicate Harry Potters on our bookshelf...
