Can we start a debate about HP on another thread? Because I got my post removed because I did not agree with other people on the ToO.
Whit: The Best is yet to come. (from "A Prayer for George Barclay" and "Gone.....")
Eugene: Impossible! Prepositions are not words that I end sentences with! (from "Poor Loser")
Arthur Dent: Operation: Thinktank will enslave the human race. Would you like a muffin? (from "Box of Miracles")
What's the difference between the two (besides the design and a few words "translated" from British to American)?dawningoftime wrote:Actually I'm still trying to sort out the ending. Everything happened so fast that even after reading it twice I'm still confused considering there's a MAJOR discrepency between the American and UK book.
By the way, Ray please warn people at the begining of your posts if you're going to post spoilers (though any HP fan should have the sence to stay away from topics discussing it until they've read the book)

Here's are the text from both editions the difference is highlighted
"He told me to do it or he'll kill me. I've got not choice." "Come over to the right side, Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine. What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewise. Your father is safe at the moment in Azkaban...when the time comes we can protect him too...come over to the right side, Draco...you are not a killer..." Malfoy stared at Dumbledore. (UK 552)
"He told me to do it or he'll kill me. I've got no choice." "He cannot kill you if you are already dead. Come over to the right side Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine. What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewise. Nobody would be surprised that you had died in your attempt to kill me -- forgive me, but Lord Voldemort probably expects it. Nor would the Death Eaters be surprised that we had captured and killed your mother -- it is what they would do themselves, after all. Your father is safe at the moment in Azkaban...When the time comes we can protect him too. Come over to the right side, Draco...you are not a killer..." Malfoy stared at Dumbledore. (US 591)

I am very much anti-Harry Potter and, thus, have not read more than snippets of any of the books and will not be reading this one.

Spirit now lead me, take me where You will
I long to adore You, reveal Yourself to me
My cry is to please You, so have Your way in me
Completely to bring glory to Your Name
