Comic Relief:

Note that there are two versions of 'Quidditch Through The Ages' in Chinese. 魁地奇溯源 Kuídìqí sùyuán appears in the Harry Potter books. The other, 神奇的魁地奇球 Shénqí de Kuídìqí-qiú, is a separate title given to the Comic Relief version. Using a different title for the Comic Relief version rather destroys the internal consistency of Harry's world, but the publisher obviously felt that this would help sell the book.
