Compared to the books, Harry does very little in this movie,
apart from conjuring the patronus.

The rest of the time, he seems almost as clueless as Ron,
and is being dragged around by Hermione, who knows a lot
more than he does.

Hermione did not only get Ron's lines, but also some of
Harry's (figuring out how to save Buckbeak and Sirius, and
getting called "a smart witch" by Sirius, where he *should*
have talked to Harry, telling him how much he was like
James. We'd already heard the smart witch line once before,
from Lupin.)  and in general, I thought all three of the
characters were very flat, with not much trio interaction to
show their closeness.

There was a lot of action and running around, but not much
in the way of character exploration.

No time for that, I guess :}

It just seemed they talked a lot more to each other in the
previous movies.

Yup...I see your points. Though I thought Ron and Hermione did seem very
protective of Harry, when Malfoy was abusing him. I thought that was sweet.
