As per the book, Harry’s encounter with the Hungarian Horntail was short and crisp. In fact, he was the quickest to grab the golden egg. But in the movie, we see a lot of drama around the same. It was not at all easy for Harry to get the dragon off his tail. The beast freed itself from the chains and chased Harry all around the school grounds finally colliding with a bridge. This action-packed sequence was truly better than the book.
