Me too. I have purchased all 5 books from amazon.co.uk because I preferred the cover art on the Bloomsbury editions. The binding on some wasn't all that good (esp. "Goblet of Fire"), but "Order of the Phoenix" apppears to be much better manufactured.
My wife and I have the paperback Bloomsbury editions, purchased for us at Heathrow during a layover by my wife's maternal grandmother who works in Spain. We didn't want to wait for the 5th one to come out in paperback, though, so we ordered the hardback from amazon.co.uk. It came a week before they said it would (I didn't order it until the day after it was released), and was less expensive than the American edition from amazon.com, shipping included. I'm very happy with the service I received from them. And now that I've discovered how to change the region on my DVD player, I plan to order the British versions of the first two movies.
I think I've posted this before, but just in case... Almost every brand and model of DVD player has special codes that allow you to change regions. Just go to:

Select your player from the dropdown box and click "View Methods."
