That silly dancing scene

I know that it is a real challenge for filmmakers to capture the emotional depths of a novel on screen. But I still don't get the silly dancing scene in the first part of the film version of The Deathly Hallows.

I don't think it conveys what Harry and Hermione are feeling at that moment (just after Ron has abandoned them) and I think it adds an unnecessary subtext: is there sexual attraction between the Chosen One and the muggle-born wonder?

And it bothers me even more when I think about all the great stuff they cut out of the book to keep the movie a reasonable length, yet they choose to waste a good three minutes on this blather.
