Yeah, forgot about that. It isn't so much that Harry is funny in HBP  
but there is rather a lot of humor and humorous situations. THis is  
in stark contrast to OotP. I really hadn't realized until reading  
through this time. I'm a bit over halfway through. I didn't realize  
either how HUGE chunks of this book are really about Ron and  
Hermione. It's almost as though the penseive scenes are just  
scattered in there.  From what I can see rereading it (for really  
about the 5th time and I am looking at it differently), I think the  
screen writers have to go with "Spy Thriller" on this one. I'm  
probably going to be sorely disappointed, but I really really hope  
they keep Luna's line "You dyed your eyebrow for the party. Should I  
dye mine?" and of course the "taking the ministry down through a  
combination of dark magic and gum disease".
