Severus here:

I seem to remember the JKR insisted on the Knockturn Alley scene, 
with Harry in the store, being left in the film.  I also think it 
has something to do with Harry's hands, the hand of Glory grabbed 
him in this scene, and there was not any other reason to have this 
in the film.  The conversation between Malfoy and the store keep 
didn't happen, but the hand scene did.  Also, I brought this up 
before, Harry seemed to have a hand fixation in the film and in the 
book.  Did anyone else catch this?  Harry touched the hand of Glory, 
he touched the hand of the petrified boy (can't remember his name), 
and he touched Hermone's hand when she was in the hospital (that's 
how he found her note, in the book).  Kind of strange to keep the 
first hand scene when it had nothing to do with the plot whats so 
ever.  JMHO though. Feel free to destroy it.
