I don't know, I guess it's just that the cover looks comical to me. I can't 
really put my finger on it. Maybe it's that I keep forgetting that they're 
marketing this movie to kids (regardless of whether the book is for kids or 
not). The picture looks like one for a kids movie, IMO, and I guess that 
irks me a bit.

Not to say that HP isn't humorous (far from it at times!) or that I don't 
like kid movies! But I guess I was expecting a more "serious" cover.

Maybe it's because I don't particularly like the broom scenes that I've seen 
in the trailer? For some reason, I just don't buy them. Perhaps I'm getting 
a bit of leak-over from that. Ironically, I'm most looking forward to the 
Quidditch matches in the movie. While others love the matches in the books, 
those scenes have always been a bit lukewarm for me (I tend to gloss over 
them, except for Lee Jordan's commentary). I'm hoping that the movie helps 
me visualize Quidditch a bit better so that I can see those scenes in a new 
light.

Not to say that the cover will deter me from getting the magazine! Or a 
couple of magazines, one to read, one to cut up to make a collage, and maybe 
one to frame.
