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


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.

I found some of the changes to be nonsensical beyond forgiveness. I
understand the idea of you can't word-for-word a book-to-screen but the
burrow scene was added only because they wanted to add action and for no
other reason -- though Ginny jumping through fire to go after Harry was
poignant if in a scene that otherwise did nothing for the film, even putting
the book aside.

 

The other stuff, tying the shoe, hiding the book was obviously put there to
make it seem like Harry NEEDS her -- this is misplaced.

 

There's some extended scenes on the blu-ray that should have been in the
film as they are the pauses, the character /  relationship / meaningful
moments so of course, they are cut? 

 

If I had never had read the book I would have found the borrow burning and
shoe-tying /  book-hiding Ron alone on the tower scenes to make no sense.
