Decided on a catchup post here, I ended up doing a run of movies that were based on novels during the last month. Here's the lineup, going to try to get the links right.
The Neverending Story
https://trendytroodon.blogspot.com/2022/03/fantasy-zone-one-with-luck-dragon.html
The Hand (directed by Oliver Stone!)
https://trendytroodon.blogspot.com/2022/03/no-good-very-bad-movies-23-one-by.html
The Witches
https://trendytroodon.blogspot.com/2022/03/featured-creature-rat-file-1-one-with.html

The Hand was of most interest to me from a literary perspective, as it uses the living-severed-hand trope common in horror and sometimes to be found in fantasy and sci fi. Has anyone else noticed this seems to come up as parody or isolated gags rather than a "straight" concept? And does anyone recall seeing this with aliens or robots rather than the undead? I could only think of a Terminator novel that mentioned some of the bots being able to put themselves back together again.

Doesn't Harry Potter interact with one of these in a shop on
Knocturn Alley? Or was that only in the movie?

Yes, he interacts with a Hand of Glory.

No, the hand does not (so far as we know) escape the shop and go
looking for its body.

The animatged film /The Iron Giant/ (which, IIRC, is based on the book
/The Iron Man/) features a robot with that property.
