Personally, I think in the context of the film, the inclusion of that
was perfect. Remember, Cuaron was concerned with establishing
motivations for the characters.
What better way to demonstrate Harry's love for the magic, than to
have him taking a big risk to practice it?
Remember, as it is a movie and not a book, we don't have the benefit
of the omnipresent narrator to tell us "Harry loves magic, this much".
The scene in the beginning's purpose was two-fold, showing us Harry's
growing up and that he loves magic, quite a lot.
Practical and entertaining. :-)
