Yet Fred and George are shown doing it instantly in the movies. They literally pop up behind Molly.
Apparating is shown at different speeds in the films, sometimes there is a lag, sometimes it is instant. In this fight, you can bet your ass Harry will be doing it instantly. That, or he half apparate. In the films, death eaters are shown half apparating while intangible and invisible.
That they appeared instantly does not mean that the apparated instantly. Even if they had to hop on one foot for 5 minutes before apparating they could still appear instantly. The question is of how quickly they can disappear, as in perform apparition. In the books, it is clearly said that they need to turn around to apparate, therefore it is not instant.
Harry never performed half-apparition in the movies.

Why would they? I am talking about in a debate like this one, mind you.
Think about it, if one were to quote a Potter feat from one of the movies, but Potter was never said to have done anything that powerful in the books, would you really say "Sorry, can't use that feat here, books>>>>>movies?"
That's stupid.

It's a moot point. Books list powers and feats that trump what is in the Potter movies. Book Potter>>>>Movie Potter.
Another question: If Potter is shown apparating in the movies, but he was never said to apparate in the books, you really expect someone arguing for Potter to accept that Potter using apparition cannot be used here?

No. That's not similar at all. Apparating in the books works differently than it does in the movies. Therefore, since the books have precedence, apparating works like it does in the books.
That's how it goes in all the forums. The original media the character appeared in takes precedence.
However, as has been said, this is only in the case of contradictions. If they get extra powers in the movie then they get the powers. However, if they are explicitly said not to be able to do something in the book, they can't do it. Even if they could in the movie.
