Where is the humor?

I am new to these boards and if this has been discussed before I 
apologize, I couldn't find anything glancing through the archives.

Is anyone else disappointed about how Harry has been portrayed in the 
movies?  In the book he has this wonderful dry british sense of 
humor, but in the movies he seems much more stoic.  I realize they 
can not portray everything in the movies, but I think they have 
damaged his character development by removing those humor aspects 
that I personally came to love in the books.  The quick witted 
comments, and "digs" at people also showed how intelligent he is and 
how he has coped so well with everything that has happened in his 
life.  

In the books Harry is very much a trouble maker, he seeks out trouble 
and I would classify him as a cheeky little rascal (in the best most 
humorous fun loving sense!  I wish I could come up with come backs 
like he does!).  But in the movies he is very serious, you rarely see 
him laughing, and they make it seem like all the trouble just finds 
him, instead of him seeking out a lot of it on his own. 

I do like the movies but the books show me a different Harry that I 
like so much more.  I wish they had kept some of those traits that I 
so dearly love in Harry.  

Does anyone else feel this way?
