Me: It's the hand-thing in Borgin and Burkes when Harry comes out 
the wrong floo. It's the only otherwise completely pointless scene 
in the movie. It has abosolutely nothing to with COS at all and yet 
they still kept in.

Plus, while they butchered everything else out of that scene (Malfoy 
Snr and Jnr, misusing magical artefacts, "under the floorboards of 
drawing room" etc), they kept that scene and they kept the hand.
