zanooda:

In the books shrunken heads are considered Dark Objects. They are sold in Knockturn Alley, and in HBP one such head was confiscated (as a Dark Object!!) from Crabbe (or Goyle?) when he attempted to bring it to school. So I would agree with Carol - I can't imagine those horrors hanging (and talking!!!!) at the Three Broomsticks or on the Knight Bus, sorry :-). 

Next, Tom the Barman certainly couldn't change this much in just two years :-), so this is also not something that "could" be in the book. What was the point of changing him? What was the point of changing Flitwick? Just to show how original he (Cuaron, not Flitwick :-)) was, I suppose :-). 

As for the toy trains - I didn't notice them much, somehow :-). They are OK, Carol, I guess. I don't think they are *really* electrical ... :-).
