Agreed on that point. We have the Quidditch card game, which is 
vaguely amusing and not nearly as bad as some of these other things 
sound, but yes, even after playing w/ my 7-yr-old for weeks, we both 
still had to keep consulting the rules, which is a sure-fire 
indication they were made up arbitrarily. 

As for the art, my son got a puzzle for his birthday and said, oh, 
there's Malfoy. I said, no honey that's Ron, see, he's sitting next 
to Hermione, and he said, Mom, don't be stupid. They would never make 
a good guy look that ugly on purpose. 

Maybe the "artist" has some kind of social agenda and wants every 
character to be equally unappealing? If so, it's a tough lesson to 
swallow doing a jigsaw puzzle in dim light.
