I noticed this too, and thought it was cool. I think the fourth book contained some British words and phrases instead of American words (more than the first three) but the difference between the fourth and fifth books was pretty big.

My guess (well, to be accurate, hope) is that the reason that this book took so long to write is that Rowling was also working on Books 6 and 7 to make sure everything matched up (she's a notorious planner and note-maker), so hopefully parts of Book 6 are already written and we won't have to wait three years for it.
