Harry Potter in US English

My current obsession is listening to Harry Potter audiobooks as I fall asleep. It’s so soothing… it has to be the Stephen Fry versions of course, because for one thing, he is completely fantastic and fabulousness itself, and for another, Harry Potter read in an American accent is just… wrong! :P I find it really strange here flicking through the US editions in the library and seeing Dudley and Hagrid say mommy and mom instead of Mummy Mum - and there are other subtle differences I’ve noticed, like maths to math, and holiday to vacation. Anything to have it understood, I suppose…!
