"Finally" is interrupting one complete thought.
Explanation: In the sentence it appears inside the second clause ("Vincent Crabbe, finally, got to place his order"), set off by commas as a parenthetical adverb. It's not functioning as a conjunctive adverb linking the two independent clauses after the semicolon (that would look like: "There was a long line at Starbucks; finally, Vincent Crabbe got to place his order.").
