Behind the scenes

  • Despite patience being the more common name used in Great Britain for solitaire as played with cards, the text still says solitaire even in the European version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This is likely simply a localisation error, though the term "solitaire" is more apt in relation to Harry's situation.
