What's the point of adding that hanging-head thingy which can speak in the Knight Bus????

I just think it'd be better if more energy is allocated in bringing the stuff in the books into live, rather than creating some pointless stuff...

I thought it was funny in the movie, but extremely annoying in the special feature.

I was like, what the heck is a shrunken jaimacan head doing on the Knight Bus. It was noisy too, I would of thrown it in a box or something.

i think it was funny. you cant 100% stick to the story... having a bit of creativity would be fun. an artist, such as a film director, should have some leeway for creativity. otherwise, he wouldnt be an artist.

They probably wanted to add some humor into the movie but it turned out stupid. It was more annoying that funny actually.

Yeah it was a little funny thing to add but I didn't really mind it. 5 minutes out of 2 hours+ of a movie containing the ramblings of a talkin head.....Doesn't bother me...
