I live in the US but like to order the books from Amazon.co.uk- there are 2 versions available and I can't figure out the difference.

While I'd usually be offended by such childish responses, I must admit when I first read the words "Adult Edition" I laughed too and thought it was somehow dirty. But if you follow these links you'll see what I mean. I prefer the British versions because they use the original british slang that gets changed in the US version. "snogging" "trainers" etc.

In Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione didn't punch Malfoy .. she kneed him
Sorry, just joking.
The Text is the same. Extra illustrations for children, and adults have a book to read on the bus in the morning that may be mistaken for "The Da Vinci Code" instead of Harry Potter

the difference is the binding, the picture on the front cover is different. The deluxe version has gold and full page pictures at the beginning of each chapter along with a front cover picture and color change. There is no sex scene, just wishful thinking on the part of the more "twisted" fans....

There is no difference at all except for the cover art.
The story inside is the same (well, aside from the SLIGHT differences in spellings from the US and UK versions)

the children's books have larger text (and more illustrations), while the adult's version has smaller text. but they are both the same words

In the UK, the first book was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." The US editors figured that US readers wouldn't know what that was, so...
