Australian editions of the two most recent Harry Potter novels were 
produced by Griffin Press. They are, to all intents and purposes, 
identical to the British Bloomsbury editions right down to the 
Bloomsbury imprint on the spine. The only differences are found on 
the information page at the front of the book which indicates 
Griffin Press' involvement, and will normally list the edition as 
something like 'First Australian Edition'.

I believe Griffin now produces copies of the  earlier novels as 
well but the first three were initially released here in the 
British editions.
