If you look at the covers in closeup, one of the most intriguing things is that in the UK Children's Cover, Harry is clearly AN ADULT. Ron and Hermione are on the edge of teen/adult, but I don't think anyone looking at the facial structure and musculature on Harry would think he was a boy.
In the US cover, on the other hand, Harry is shown as an older teenager.
Does this reflect the differences in UK/US opinions of the maturity of someone who is 17/18? Or just the UK cover recognizing that Harry's experiences have matured him well before his time?
