* AdaptationalUgliness: The Grand High Witch zigzags this in her true form. On one hand, she doesn't look like a rotting corpse but rather an aged crone. On the other hand, these features are exaggerated so she has to force her [[GagNose elongated nose]] and chin into the mask, making her look equally as monstrous.

Added DiffLines:

* TauntingTheTransformed:
** [[FatIdiot Bruno Jenkins]] is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of Formula 86 on stage in front of a huge audience of witches, all of whom are laughing uproariously at his misfortune as he transforms into a mouse. For good measure, halfway through the transformation, the [[BigBad Grand High Witch]] can be seen mimicking Bruno's increasingly mouselike facial expression.
** Not long afterwards, Luke is given an overdose of the potion and also transforms before the gathered witches. Not only do they laugh at him throughout, but [[TransformationDiscretionShot the scene is shot from Luke's perspective]], resulting in grotesque POV shots of the increasingly gigantic witches reaching out to push him down, concluding with the Grand High Witch herself mockingly waving goodbye as he [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing shrinks backwards into his enormous clothes]].

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When the Grand High Witch explains the concept of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to Mr Jenkins, she begins retching which causes Miss Irvine to hold a bowl up close to her in case she vomits. Mr Jenkins however mistook the gesture as a donations bowl for their so called organisation, evident by him dropping a few coins in the bowl.
