Geoff:
I agree with you that I found this scene incomprehensible when 
related to the book.

It almost gives the impression that Harry has become an imbecile 
and is being led by the hand to hide the book. In canon, only Harry 
knows where the book is and thus the diadem.

I believe that it is part of a ploy to talk up Ginny's character possibly 
for the benefit of teenage female fans. I have never thought that 
Ginny was the person for Harry and that the way in which she was 
portrayed has changed throughout the later books. But that is only 
my own view of course.

I also agree with another contributor about the burning of the Burrow 
which does raise questions about its future and, again in my opinion, 
wasted about four or five minutes of film time which could have been 
used for other things left out.
