We have had a couple of discussions about those wacky Italian 
covers.  The most logical answer that anyone has come up with is that 
they simply forgot to actually read the books before they drew the 
pictures.  Either that or they are hitting the old vino pretty hard 
and seeing giant rats and enormous flying books and gigantic flying 
birds (although I guess that could be the front half of Buckbeak).  
There really is just no explaining the Italians, I suppose.
