Wow, I love the almost mystical feel about the covers..
But why are they called adult covers?

they are called adult covers because they are the same book marketed to adults. Studies have shown that adults, at least those w/out kids, would be more likely to read them w/ a more mature cover vs. a young harry or cartoonish stylized image.

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
