   Thank you for that new bit of information. Your cite would be?

   I'm sorry. It is clear that you expressed the fact that " Rowling   
   clearly assumed a little more knowledge of history in her English   
   audience than in her American audience" as the reason she, not the   
   publishers, changed the book title for the US market.
