The way I was thinking was that this movie has been released before OoP (Oh, 
OoP!  WHERE are you???) and that the kiddies, to which this movie has been 
targeted towards, are going to watch the movie before they read the book.  
So, when that glorious day does come, and OoP is released, the kiddies will 
probably still remember that happy scene in the movie where everybody loves 
Hagrid so.

Didn't I hear somewhere on his list that JKR gave the Columbus a preview 
copy of the new book?  If so, then Columbus knows what's gonna happen and 
thus added that scene.  At least that's my take on it.
