I remember some funny parts about it... There have been funny parts in EVERY 
book, even though the conflict makes it dark.  The books wouldn't be good at 
all if nothing funny happened.  As for specifics in HBP, I guess I'm 
thinking about Hermione getting jealous of Ron "making out" with Lavender 
Brown too much.  I know HBP is not meant to be a comedy, but I see great 
comedic promises in Dan, Rupert and Emma, as has been evident from all the 
previous movies.  There were certain moments where people laughed at OOTP.
