I personally don't think the books/movies should have different versions. I don't see what the difficulties are. Granted, my mother is English and I grew up in a house full of British slang. But really, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the characters are trying to say. I think in many ways Canadians and Americans will think alike and may have difficulties understanding British slang. So why did they change it for them and not for us. If I were JK Rowling, I would have said screw you, I'm not changing my book. Give people some credit, I'm sure they would have figured it out.
