We calculate four-point correlation functions of two weight-2 and two weight-3 1/2-BPS operators in N=4 SYM in the large N limit in supergravity approximation. By the AdS/CFT conjecture, these operators are dual to AdS supergravity scalar fields s_2 and s_3 with mass m^2 = -4 and m^2 = -3 respectively. This is the first non-trivial four-point function of mixed-weight operators of lowest conformal dimensions. We show that the supergravity-induced four-point function splits into a "free" and a
