I have no doubt the publishers wanted a picture that looked similar, but I wouldn't call it a copy myself.

Edit: I googled for "similar book covers" and eventually wandered into "magic books" and their google images. Have a look at those if you're convinced that there is copyright infringement going on with the two covers shown in this thread.
Oh, there are many many cases where books have extremely similar covers, however, doesn't make it legal.
