Author Topic: Again, Sentances Edited out of UK Version ***Spoilers***  (Read 668 times)

Like the words, "I can help you, Draco." "No, you can't," said Malfoy, his wand shaking very badly indeed. "Nobody can. He told me to do it or he'd 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." (HBP pg 591/552). There is yet another two sentances that do not appear in the UK version of HBP. In the US (hardback) version it reads "What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewize. 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 caturped and killed your mother - it is what they would do themselves, after all. Your father is safe at the monent in Azkaban...." but in the UK is reads "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...."
I know we've discussed this before (somewhere Undecided ) but why is the UK version so edited. I thought the US was the one edited.

That is really quite staggering  Shocked  Not least because DD suggests it would be acceptable to kill Dracos mum (or at least the Death Eaters could believe that).  Methinks I need to get hold of an American version  Azn

Actually do we know if there is anything in the UK version that is not in the USA one  Huh
