Hmmm, would the bouncing ferret count as slapstick? Or the "accidental" 
banging to Snape's head on the tunnel ceiling? What about the expelliarmusing 
of Lockhart? Or the scene before the boggart in the closet scene where Lupin 
sends a wad of gum shooting up Peeves's nose? 

I've always counted slapstick as physical humor in which people find it funny 
when others hurt themselves. But I think it's usually on purpose, but these 
are supposed to be funny physical scenes. ^^
