20 Worst Moments In Wizarding World Movies

10. Dre Head - Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban

The Harry Potter films and the Fantastic Beasts films are bloody hilarious most of the time and they have lots of delightful comedy moments, but as other entries on this list show, not all of the jokes work. This strange shrunken head on the Knight Bus at the start of the Prisoner of Azkaban is a great example of this.

A deeply annoying comic relief (voiced by Lenny Henry) which drops loads of bad one liners in a jarring faux-Jamaican accent, this character does stick out like a sore thumb in an otherwise dark and mature entry in the series.

The Knight Bus scene in the first act of the film is very entertaining for the most part, but this should've been left on the cutting room floor. Think about it: they cut out Rik Myall as Peeves from the first film but included this? Crazy, huh?
