I can't help being curious what they had Harry and the gang say in the American edition instead of 'snog'. Can anyone who is reading it tell? I don't think we have an equivalent idiom (the closest would probably be 'make out').

I like "snog"; mostly because it's so entertainingly irreverent, and so very british. It made them sound very like teenagers, still a little uncomfortable with the activities they're describing, so I rather approved.

You're right, though, that it's a nice touch that Harry treated it differently when it was actually happening to him.

Whoops, sorry. I guess I've just been assuming that if an LJ entry has anything in it that even remotely looks like it may possibly turn into being Harry Potter related, people who don't want to see spoilers are avoiding it. I pretty much avoided the whole internet for three days, out of fear.

I assume that's what you're talking about, anyway.
