This one makes me wonder if that cover only works because the world is already familiar with the characters.
Otherwise I've seen a lot of anime book covers for chink shit and it's just the characters as they are and it looks cringe.

I like the 2nd row but again. I only like a lot of these through the context of already knowing the books.
2 chess pieces don't exactly inspire a child to read.
Same for the shitty cartoony art of the French versions. I like, it's charming, but it's awful if it's your first intro to the series.

It would be nice if this image labeled the origins of each row though.
But seeing them all makes me wish my autism was the kind where I read shit-tons of fanfiction, especially the kind where Harry just lives the rest of his life in his Trunk with a harem instead of the kind where I waste it on 4chan and /pol/.
