The world of FanArt can be a funny place. Tucked in between incredible images of beauty, romance, and poignant sadness, there can be found hysterically funny pieces of art that show their creators' sly senses of humor and fun.
The diversity of these pieces is amazing. Some take an element of canon and go one step further, like this piece by Lady_Voldything.
Found here in our gallery. It makes me giggle every time!
Then there are those who comment on the current debate happening in the fandom, like this one by artdungeon. I remember laughing out loud when I first saw it!
I really love the ones that have a clever play on words, like this one by Flayrah.
Hands up who first thought of something like this when they read the term "disillusion"! 
Our FanArt Gallery is brimming with creative and funny fanart. Share with us! Which are your favorites?

I never realized how many FANTASTIC humor images we had in the gallery until this thread! sulkyskrewt has a fantastic piece here which I just love!
I love Snape's nose, and bitty Voldie!
Also Makani has some fantastic humorous art, often poking fun at the Malfoys. I'll have to go find some of my favorites and post them!

The thing I love the most about Jo Rowling's books is their wonderfully character-driven humour. It is this type humour, rather than the topical comedy more commonly found in contemporary writing, that assures the Potter series a place in literary history. The FanArtist community in large part has embraced this timeless comedy and imbued much of their work with it. 
Here are two of my favourite funny fan arts, by a couple of our former Featured Fanartists --
Caladan with her take on Remus and Tonks' home life --
Here in the FA Gallery
The fabulous Mlle. Hito shows a HBP Hermione, with retribution on her mind --
Here in the FA Gallery
Laughter is what makes me feel alive--and thanks to Jo and the FanArtists for so giving me so much of it!

Cheers for liking Snape telling Voldy a story pic (forget the title- forgive me, I've got bad cold, brain don't work...etc)
Completely agree with Hagiographer13 - Rowling's humour in her books crack me up no end and its bloody brilliant to see other people's humour expressed in their art.
There are a few pics I've come across which easily make me LOL. Unfortunately at the moment, my memory is rubbish and I can only remember a couple for now....there are much more that I'll remember later, but for now. Makani has a wonderful image with Hermione and Santa:
s.p.e.w. does not approve
There is another by an artist of Dev Art...Maybe she's submitted to LL's gals, but I haven't been able to find her. Melding Monty Python with Harry Potter gets my vote. Love this:
the new ministry of magic
The Disillusion one by Flayra is a cracking play on words. When I saw this one I couldn't stop laughing.
