We haven't got our copy of HP5 yet (still waiting for it to come from
England---we're reading the British editions),

I heard a rumor that they had "unified" the texts in the later books.
Anyone know if that's true?

I finished it about an hour ago: I did notice it referred to looking
in the "boy's bathrooms" when I would have expected them to look in
the "boy's toilets."

Now to read the rest of this thread - I've been too worried about
spoilers. But probably tomorrow.

I know I shouldn't follow my own post up, but...

A couple of posts have referred to the book being 800+ pages long.
Our copy is 766 pages.

As an aside, our copy says it is "First published in Great Britain 2003"
and that is printed in Great Britain.

The pages are different. I believe it is just a different font/margins.

I heard the "rumor" of unified text in relation to book 3 or 4, but I
noticed that book 5 has a brief reference to the Sorcerer's stone, which
of course would be wrong in the UK, so I imagine they must have at least
changed that. I was meaning to be on the lookout for British spelling,
but I didn't notice any in my American edition. Then again, I spent a
good part of my childhood in Canada, so the British spellings don't look
odd to me, so I might just not have noticed...?
