I think it's interesting that whoever edited it picked and chose what to Americanize and what not to. I distinctly remember the whole, "Have a biscuit" conversation in the 5th book and not knowing why McGonagall just had a box of biscuits lying around... for all of thirty seconds before I realized it meant something else.

It really is a pointless thing to change. Audiences can handle a few differences in terminology.

The biscuit/cookie thing always confuses me just because what "biscuits" are is so firmly ingrained in my head thanks to a job I held.

I think they can, as long as there's some sort of dictionary/glossary in the front/back of the book, but the fact is, there's such a difference in meaning for some words that I just don't see what it hurts to change them? Like, the suspenders/braces thing, for example. Like, I get why changed "Philosopher's" to "Sorcerer's" was stupid; either way, they mean roughly the same thing.

It took me forever to realize British biscuits weren't the same as American ones. It made total sense to me that they'd be offered as a treat because they're fucking delicious. Fluffy goodness.

Yessssss.

Really, we could go into business selling bags of fluffy American biscuits.
