However, that doesn't keep Hollywood moments from creeping in now and then, with lots
of soap opera antics and fisticuffs that would seem injected in order to make the tale of these boys more cohesive in terms of story development, resulting in a forced climax and epilogue that probably comes more out of fantasyland than out of the recollections of a documentarian.
With Steve Kloves (Wonder Boys, The Fabulous Baker Boys) returning as the screenwriter after skipping the last film, the more serious tone is interspersed with the lighter moments
of teen romance, though these
soap opera antics may seem tedious to those who don't care much about the dalliances
of the Hogwarts students, particularly in how much screen time is given to it in place
of the larger storyline that could have used a greater sense
of build up.
