I recently saw a box set of 4 Harry Potter books marked 'adult editions'. How are these different from the originals, if at all?

The have a more sophisticated cover so everybody on the train doesnt know your only able to read kids books.
Harry's wand is more prominent.
I remember the first time I ever heard of JK Rowling was a few months after the first Harry Potter book came out and although it hadn't been an instant smash with children, it had gained a cult following among adults, so the publishers had decided to go more for that market and reissued it with a more grown-up cover (the one with the photo of a steam train instead of the cartoon illustration). It was only afterwards that it started to become the phenomenon that has grown to irritate the hell out of us today.
I don't really agree with giff. Considering the size of The Goblet of Fire (and presumbably The Order of the Phoenix) they must be harder to read than quite a few adult books.
The news of the world is thicker than the Times (not the sunday times) therefore the news of the world must be more difficult to read. I think not. I was only joking, dont judge a book by its cover perhaps they should change it to dont judge a book by its thickness.

So, not different at all! I see there is soon to be an adult edition of Harry Potter 5. As harry and co. will now be 16, perhaps the adult edition will be more interesting...
there not at all all they did was change the cover to more adults would feel less imbaresed to be reading a kids book on the train. just another idear so that J.K gets more and more money , and the fools keep on given her it
