This is my scan for the cover



While not that bad for the image, I want to know how to scan the other image from the cover.  Any ideas?

Try lining some toothpicks under one side of the box.

Yeah, you just have to tilt it somehow. Sometimes just laying the cover sideways or at a weird angle on the scanner will catch the different pics for these covers. If not, toothpicks are a great idea, or maybe a dime or 2 on an edge you can paint or crop out after scanning.

This may be easier to photograph as to scan. If you can mount the camera on a tripod it should be fairly simple. The trickiest par is to get uniform lighting on the cover. Maybe using a flash, but not directly aimed at the cover.

For the picture you took with the cover under an angle, you should then do a perspective correction. Here is a tutorial how to do it in Photoshop.

Honestly, I don't know if it's worth the trouble given the studio promo cover is an exact match to the Harry Potter side of the lenticular cover:
