We don't usually say "invisibility cloak". We say "cloak of invisibility," don't We? I knew what the sentence meant but was hesitant to answer anything except "invisible".

As a fan of fantasy games I'd say they're both generally acceptable. Some other examples:
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Flame_Cloak vs https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cloak_of_Flame
http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/behemoth-blade-of-shadow vs https://dota2.gamepedia.com/Shadow_Blade
It's a stylistic choice in the end, oftentimes it's [noun item] + [item of noun]

Thanks. If 'Harry Potter' says 'invisibility cloak' then so be ít. Back in the middle of the last century, when I was in school, nouns as modifiers were frowned upon.
