Hm, the cover of his book looks different from the cover of ours.. Is it a US vs Canada thing? Or just a marketing ploy of multiple covers to snare collectors into buying twice as many (or more!) as they need?

That’s the US edition, published by Scholastic US. Raincoast has the rights here, not Scholastic Canada, and it co-publishes with Bloomsbury in the UK, so we get the edition J.K. wrote—the American edition is edited for Britishisms (so we got the Philosopher’s Stone, not the Sorcerer’s Stone abomination). The US edition also has internal illustrations (it was that version that got pirated onto the net last week).
There is an adult cover on the market ( http://www.raincoast.com/harrypotter/images/hp7-lowres-adult.jpg ), but I’ve never actually seen hardcovers in stores with those covers.
Here’s a nice sampling of those different covers: http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/category/363
