Harry is one of Peter's high school classmates, who resents the fact that his father spends more time at his job than being with him and seems to understand the brilliant Peter better than him. This is evident when Norman learns that Peter is able to understand his nanotechnology papers, wins the science award, and expresses his desire to make his own way in the world. Harry is constantly trying to live up to his father's expectations, including trying to make girlfriend M.J. look stunning. He decides to date Mary Jane despite his knowledge of Peter's interest in her and fails to tell him. Later, he says that Peter never made a move. In the past, Harry protected Peter from bullying, and Peter tutored him in science. After graduation, Harry's father gets them a loft apartment next to the university. Early in the movie, Peter becomes Spider-Man and Norman becomes the Green Goblin, but Harry remains unaware that the two are his best friend and his father. As he is growing more terrified of the Green Goblin persona, Norman begs Harry for forgiveness for not being a good father, and the two reconcile somewhat after Harry's break-up with M.J..

However, at the end of the film, the Green Goblin is killed by his own glider (he is impaled in the lower abdomen, where he dies from internal bleeding, whereas in the comics he temporarily dies from a chest impalement to the heart; whether Norman still possessed the healing factor has yet to be revealed), after attempting to kill Spider-Man. Following Norman's last wish to not let Harry know about his villanous identity, Spider-Man removes the Goblin's costume and returns Norman's body to the Osborn mansion. Harry, seeing Spider-Man carrying Norman's body, assumes that Spider-Man has murdered his father. Harry grabs a gun from a drawer, but Spider-Man leaves before Harry can react. At Norman's funeral, a brooding Harry tells Peter that Spider-Man will pay for the death of his father. In the film interpretation, Harry is more of an odd duck who lacks the popularity that he had in the comics. He is also more angry and bitter in his relationship with his father, though the two begin rebuilding their relationship before Norman's death.Harry takes over his late father's career but his business failures and unresolved resentment towards Peter, who he feels is siding with Spider-Man rather than him, cause him to slowly spiral into alcoholism. His vendetta against Spider-Man brings him into an alliance with Doctor Octopus. Harry agrees to supply Doc Ock with the tritium that Ock needs for his experiments if Ock will hunt down and deliver Spider-Man. After a long battle, Spider-Man is beaten by Doc Ock while civilian bystanders nobly try to defend him. Spider-Man is brought before Harry, who prepares to kill Spider-Man with a dagger. Before he does so, however, he removes Spider-Man's mask, and is shocked to see Peter's face. A dazed Peter regains consciousness, and he convinces Harry to let him go and rescue Mary Jane.

At the end of the movie a confused Harry hallucinates, seeing his father's image in a mirror, demanding that Harry avenge him. Harry shatters the mirror, only to find his father's hidden lair, with the Green Goblin equipment within. The scene starts with Harry going through a spooky and empty walkway. He runs into the Goblin mask and is terrified until he backs up into the shelves holding pumpkin bombs. He turns and sees the serum that made his father the Green Goblin. He steps out of the shadows as he walks closer to the Goblin Glider with dramatic music playing and the camera zooming back. His last appearance in the movie is at Mary Jane's wedding ceremony, being the only guest wearing a green bowtie, during which she runs away for Peter.Harry finally becomes a supervillain, and later, a superhero. Though remaining unnamed throughout the film, this new villain is credited as The New Goblin and is jokingly referred to by Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) as "Little Goblin Junior." The New Goblin wears a dark costume with some green features. In contrast to the Green Goblin costume worn by his father, which was intended to, among other things, terrorize people in general, Harry wears a more streamlined suit that is not meant to terrorize anyone, and is constructed for the sole purpose of defeating and killing Spider-Man. The suit is armed with retractable arm blades. He also wields a short green sword. He doesn't wear a demonic-looking mask like his father, but retractable facial gear consisting of a pair of reflective green goggles and a green mouthpiece, similar to a paint-ball mask.

The New Goblin rides a hi-tech snowboard-shaped glider called the Sky Stick, which also goes unnamed in the film. The glider houses the Goblin's pumpkin bombs, rockets, a flamethrower and razor-sharp pikes. Much like its Goblin predecessor, the Sky Stick can fly in all directions using two high-powered propellers and jets on its underside. It is also used as a striking weapon by him. The Sky Stick is integrated with the New Goblin's suit, and can home in on its rider whenever the two are separated.

Early in the film, Harry uses the same "Human-Performance Enhancer" gas chamber to become the New Goblin that created his father, Norman Osborn's (Willem Dafoe), alter ego the Green Goblin, and the gas enhances his strength, agility, reflexes, durability, healing ability and senses. Before attacking Peter, as he is leaving the theatre where M.J. is performing, an embittered Harry asserts that Peter didn't like his father who looked after him, though Peter says he did indeed care for him. As the New Goblin, he ambushes Peter when he is riding his moped back to his apartment. With Peter constantly trying to recatch Aunt May's engagement ring given to him, the two have an intense fight over the skyline of New York City, which ends when Peter uses his webbing to clothesline Harry off his glider. This causes Harry to hit his head on a piece of piping on the way down, knocking him unconscious. Peter then takes him to a hospital, where Harry is successfully resuscitated. The doctor tells Peter that the impact has given Harry short-term memory loss, and Peter finds out that Harry has also lost a significant portion of his memory from around the time of his father's death, and temporarily enjoys their reborn friendship.

When Mary Jane begins to succumb to feelings of abandonment from Peter, due to his apparent inability to understand her problems and his recent obsessession over finding the Sandman, she turns to the still-amnesiac Harry for company. Their mutual vulnerability lead the two to share a brief kiss, but the ensuing guilt drives Mary Jane to pull away and walk out. Devastated, Harry begins to hallucinate and once again sees his father, who refreshes his memory. Harry dons the New Goblin suit once again and goes to Mary Jane's apartment. He tells her if she wants Peter to live she has to do something for him.

Mary Jane breaks up with Peter and when he questions the reason why she blurts out that she is in love with someone else. Peter meets up with Harry to talk it out. When Peter mentions that Mary Jane mentioned "someone else," Harry- pretending to be sympathetic- tells Peter that he is the other man. Peter, in disbelief, walks away. Upon looking back he sees Harry grinning and realizes that he has regained his memory.

Peter, fueled with anger and donning the Black Suit (which is hidden under his clothes), confronts Harry in his mansion. Harry brags about his kiss with Mary Jane and how Peter wasn't there for her; this pushes Peter way over the edge. After an intense fight, Harry is defeated yet again and finds himself at Peter's mercy. Harry asks Peter if he is going to kill him like he killed his father and Peter tells him that he is done trying to tell him the truth. When Harry says that Peter took his father away from him and that he loved him, Peter, under the symbiote's influence, mocks Harry, telling him that his father despised him. When Peter turns to walk away, Harry picks up a pumpkin bomb and throws it at him, only to have it flung back at him by Peter's webbing. Harry is caught in the explosion, which permanently disfigures the right side of his face, leaving him blind in one eye.

When Venom and Sandman hold Mary Jane hostage at a construction site, Peter realizes that the danger is far too much to handle alone. He swallows his pride and approaches Harry for help. Dishonored, Harry refuses after what Peter has done to both his father and himself. Later, Harry is in his father's lair where his butler, Bernard, finds him. Bernard, who has cared for the Osborns for years, finally explains that upon close inspection of Norman's wounds, it was clear that he was impaled by his very own glider and did not die by Spider-Man's hand. Coming to terms with the truth, Harry dons his battle suit and arrives to help Spider-Man in the nick of time. After defeating Sandman in his giant form using the bombs, flamethrower, and missiles from his Sky Stick (and with some assistance from Peter), Harry moves on to aid Spider-Man against Venom. Harry tries to wound Venom with the pikes on his Sky Stick, but due to Venom's own enhanced senses, he is easily thrown aside. When Venom is about to stab Spider-Man using Harry's own Sky Stick, Harry heroically jumps in front of him and takes the hit, becoming mortally wounded. Spider-Man quickly defeats Venom immediately after, throwing Harry's own pumpkin bomb into the symbiote after weakening it. Venom (aka Eddie Brock) presumably dies in the blast.

After the fight, Harry succumbs to his injuries with Peter and Mary Jane by his side. With his dying breaths, he reconciles his relationship with Peter. When Peter says that they will help him through this he says no, having accepted that he is going to die. Peter apologizes for everything that he said and did to hurt him, Harry responds that it doesn't matter and says to him "You're my friend" to which Peter tearfully replies "Best friend." Harry dies in Mary Jane's arms. Both Peter and Mary Jane attend Harry's funeral, heartbroken.
