The additional comedic moments in this movie added an element of pleasant surprise, which nicely complements the shock of things jumping out at you and beloved characters dying (not that any Harry Potter fan wasn't expecting that). The ending scenes were downplayed slightly from what happens in the book, more so than just a lost in medium translation tragedy. Otherwise, I would have given this 5 stars. Daniel Radcliffe has come a long way since The Sorcerer's Stone! I was impressed! And Rupert Grint as well! It's neat to watch them develop on screen as they grow up and their characters mature.
