Apparently this is a thing. This one had to have been nominated as a joke, and it's only by taking advantage of my scoring system that it didn't place lower.

Anyway, it looks like there are a bunch of these ridiculous covers with characters having Pinocchio length noses, such as this one, which might be the worst:

It's difficult to tell what they were going for with this art style, which is admittedly rather unique, but even if it was intended as child-friendly, it doesn't look right. Beyond the needlessly exaggerated facial features, the faces look grotesque, particularly those two (I assume human) creatures to the left, which look like a male and female version of the same exact character. The girl’s face is amateurish, and Harry Potter is barely recognizable as Harry Potter. And that's not even getting started on that freak show whose dental bills must be astronomical. The coloring is also really weird, and it almost looks like they forgot to color in parts of the picture like the legs of that guy on the left.

I do feel like there's some aspect of story here, as that deranged looking woman seems to smile for a picture displaying a Harry Potter book while clutching a surprised Harry. I'm not sure whether they're trying to say that Harry Potter books somehow exist in the same universe as the characters, but it still feels like a story.
