Here's a good list of changes. Most are about removing any references to ugly or fat. But also other strange things like changing the author's Matilda likes to read to include Jane Austin and John Steinbeck, not calling people crazy, swapping screeching to annoying, removing brothers and sisters to favor "siblings" and using "folks" instead of "ladies and gentlemen"

I wonder when will they start editing Harry Potter, what with the Dursleys being caricature fatsos = villains.

Knowing the author, she'd probably try to update the book to make Dursley trans.
