I still think that Buckbeak never lost his head. The kids only thought he did, because they heard the thud of the executioner's axe and assumed that Buckbeak was executed. In reality, the disappointed executioner just swung his axe into the fence (into a pumpkin in the movie) - Harry and Hermione witnessed it when they went back in time.

They went back to prevent this from happening. This was supposed to happen, but didn't, *because* they went back in time :-).

Agreed 100% :-).
