Is there any difference between the American version of Harry potter and the English one?
The true first editions of the each book of the Harry Potter series were first published by Bloomsbury Press in the U.K., and then followed by the U.S. editions which were published by Scholastic Press. The U.S. editions typically have the same titles as the U.K. originals with the exception of the first book in the series which was called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the U.K. In the U.S. the book was called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. For the most part, the books are identical. However, there are subtle differences between American English and British English. These are reflected in the wording. One example is that for Christmas Mrs. Weasley made everyone a 'sweater' in the American version and a 'jumper' in the British version.
If both British and American first editions were in perfect condition, then there probably wouldn't be too much in the difference if sold at auction. It would depend if there were a couple of people both willing to keep bidding and raising the price to a greater amount. If you were to think about it in production runs, then the British first edition would be more sought after as there weren't that many printed (approx 5000 copies as a test run), whereas the American first editions would have run into a couple of hundred thousand due to a bigger sales group and also being released a year later than Britain and so wouldn't have taken such a huge risk with it being popular.

* The Publishers * The Cover Illustrations * The first title Sorcerer vs. Philosopher
They just have different covers and the American verision has uses American English instead of English like the UK verisions.
