My preference it to read in the original 'version'. I have not read any of the Harry Potter books but, I would be really put off, if her 'English' was changed for 'American' tastes.
If I saw colour instead of color, I would know 'fag' means cigarette and not 'gay'. What I mean is, the spelling can give you hints regarding idiomatic use of english in the book.
