Because they know the books have a lot of adult readers, so they have a "kids cover" and an "adults cover" so that neither age group is put off buying them.

There is only one version in the US.

Only in America can you buy a book before it is released!

There were a group of 14 Canadians who got the book last week and were ordered by a judge not to read the book and return it to the publisher.  There were going to get signed copies and a goodie bag too.

Where's that raspberry blowing smiley...  >:(

Thbbbbbttttt!!!  ;)

To be fair, due to the time difference, I think you should wait an additional 7 hours to begin reading so I can read it at the same time!!!  ;D

When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

Silly boy!  I own two wizard's hats, I would happily wear them and not get paid for it...but, that being said, getting paid for it would be all the more better - oh, yeah!

My friends always make me drive to the movies or such events as I've got an HP vanity license plate!

I'd wear a wizard's hat, scar tattoo (they gave them away a couple books ago), and my oh-so-cool Gryffindor scarf a friend made for me!

Some friends had a HP party several years ago. They made their own sorting hat for the night!
