Dre Head

"Hey, if you have the pea soup, make sure you eat it before it eats you."

- Dre Head

Dre Head was a Shrunken Head. It had a Jamaican accent, and long dreadlocks. Dre Head was used as an accessory on the Knight Bus in August 1993. It spoke with passengers and frequently warned the driver, Ernie Prang, about obstacles, and hazards. It liked to say jokes like "Mind your head" or "Hey, guys? Guys? Why the long faces?".

Etymology

Behind the scenes

 * Dre Head was voiced by Lenny Henry in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
 * One of the special features on the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD was a set of cast interviews conducted by British broadcaster and Dre Head. In these interviews, Dre showed awareness that the Harry Potter films were works of fiction, asking on several occasions if he could play a major character in later films. Despite this, he was afraid of the actors playing the Dursley family, seeming unwilling to accept that it was merely their actors rather than the actual Dursleys.
 * Dre Head counts "10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...3 and a half...2... 1 and three quarters... YES!" This is incorrect, as 3 1/2 would come before 3.
