Differences Between Adult's and Childrens's HP Books?

Are the only differences in these books the covers, or are there other things in the books? Thanks in advance!

I'm quite sure that the only difference is the cover art.

Yeah I think the only difference is the cover art too, its probably just so that adults can buy the books and not feel daft sat on trains etc reading kiddies books cos they are the adult version....

Does anyone know if the adult version is coming out at the same time with the children's version?

I'm fairly sure the release date for all the books is the same (July 16)

yeah, I think it is.

Basically, the adult and children's books are the exact same thing but some crazy people will probably buy both of them so they can have both covers, which will make the companies more money.

but at least with the adult versions, the New York Times will have to give it a spot on the best seller list and not make seperate lists for it!
