I will be reading the entire series again soon in anticipation for July 16 and I will be more self-aware of the slang differences.
I will be ordering the UK version tonight also.

As I understand it the first two books are the ones with the language "differences"... because they were released in the US before Rowling "broke big". The later books she was able to exercise more control over publishing... and there was more of demand from the US market for the "original" UK printed books...
I'd be interested to know if there was how much if any difference in the OoP in the US & UK published editions...
