Why Harry Potter didn't tie his shoes.

Reposted from my post to a forum originally posted on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009:

The following post was made in response to members of a forum being confused about a scene in the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in which Ginny Weasley ties Harry Potter's shoes.

"I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last week and was going to comment originally but didn't feel I had much to say. Finally after commentary was made about the shoe tying scene I wanted to offer an alternative viewpoint about why they may have included this scene. I thought the shoe tying scene in the movie was partly a way of pointing out something about Radcliffe, which I'm fairly certain has been done in different movies with other actors and actresses. The reason why I suggest this as a possible explanation is that Daniel Radcliffe has dyspraxia (dyspraxia is a developmental condition that affects coordination) and has expressed that he difficulties tying his shoes. When I processed the scene I now understand that I may have given some extra value to it that other people didn't. I could be entirely wrong in my proposed possible explanation, but I thought I'd offer it anyway." - J. Gray Rosenblum
