I'm getting both the US and the UK editions. :-)
I came to the HP series late - didn't start reading them until after PoA was
released. A friend of mine who's my age told me,
'You just HAVE to read this, it's amazing!'
My reply: 'You've got to be kidding. A KID's book?'
Friend: 'Hell, no! It's isn't just for kids, it's for grownups...'
And so another person was converted to HP.
