I've honestly never seen an actual copy of one of the "adult" versions 
of the book.  I haven't really gone and looked for them, either, but I 
don't see the whole reason for changing the cover of the book to look 
more "mature".  You are still reading a kids book and a change in cover 
isn't going to change that. LOL!  I have seen pictures of the adult 
covers and to be honest, I really like the kid covers better.  More 
colorful, vibrant etc.. (at least to me)  So I agree with you when you 
say you can't really draw any sort of conclusion by the number of 
"adult" covers vs. the number of "kid" covers sold.  If I ever bought an 
"adult" cover copy of the book it'd probably be for purely collectors 
purposes...but I really have no intention of buying any of the "adult" 
covers because I'm perfectly secure in my Harry Potter fandom to carry 
around a copy of the kiddie version. LOL!
