But, in the filmmakers' defense, the scene as written was always going 
to present problems. Harry is petrified in the beginning of the film, and 
it's not exactly emotionally riveting when you see him. In order for the 
scene to work, you need to feel Harry's frustration at being unable to 
act. In order to convey that cinematically while he's immobile *and* 
invisible would be quite difficult!

But we "see" HRH under the cloak all the time in the films. The entire scene
could have been shot by focusing on Harry's eyes, I think just cutting away
quickly back and forth to a close-up of him petrified to make the audience
feel the helplessness as events unfold would have worked. I think seeing the
physical release of Harry from being petrified and his realization that he's
on free because DD is dead could have been very powerful.

I think they played to the audience as if we are simple folk, I think they
played the film for a PG rating as well judging from the cop-outs with the
secumsumpsra (however it's spelled) and the inferi looking like Gollum
rather than Night of the Living Dead.
