Quirinius Quirrel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Sorcerer's Stone

No, its not the same book. The text was changed for the US.

 

I'm terribly sorry, but I will have to disagree with you, porridge.

Text changes and titles changes do not make it a different book. Otherwise every revision of every book that has been published could be considered fair use, and we would find ourselves quoting the years associated.

It may certainly be viable, in fact it is highly recommended, for Mornington Crescent, but that does not mean it is acceptable in this game.

Now, if the book had been heavily re-written, paraphrased or even generally updated, as in the difference between say, Pride and Prejudice as considered against Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, you could argue that the difference is great enough to consider it a new work...

... porridge - you pest, you're making me ramble.

As they say, TL;DR - Same book, different edition.

And seeing as we need a new Q - I hereby propose

Quint - Jaws

 

Smartarse.

Richard, Richard III

 

Honestly shocked I didn't think of this one earlier.
