I knew I saw them displayed in bookstores, so I went on bn.com to see 
exactly what they were.  They are paperbacks, and the one for 
Sorcerer's Stone is a mostly blue cover with a fairly small picture on 
the front (not the same one we're used to).  I copied this from the 
info for the book:

                      Product Details:

                      ISBN: 043936213X
                      Format: Mass Market Paperback, 384pp
                      Pub. Date: October 2001
                      Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
                      Barnes & Noble Sales Rank:  19,020
                      Age Range: Young Adult
                      Series: Harry Potter Series, #1

So, though it is not an "adult cover" per se such as Bloomsbury 
publishes, it is definitely more toned down than the original one.  
Notice that these are categorized as "young adult" -- I have noticed 
other books (such as the Redwall series) that appear in different 
editions in the children's and the young adult sections, and my 
daughter now checks both places for her books and buys the cheapest.
