They actually have adult covers for ALL of the HP books, in addition to the "kids covers". I personally prefer the "kids covers" as they are more colourful, etc.

I don't really get the point of that. I mean, anybody who sees the name or title on the cover is going to know what they're reading anyway, regardless of whether the cover features a dramatic-looking silver phoenix or a cartoon kid on a broom. And everybody knows that so many adults read Harry Potter to begin with that I have no idea why they'd be embarassed about it.
I like the kids' covers better too.
