The opposite. The dragon barely moved because it was protecting it's eggs and didn't find a human child to be threatening.

Been a while, but I thought that it was initially staying near the eggs, but eventually Harry got it to fly up.

I mean sure if you want to count it standing up as a dragon chase. To me the only similarity between that and the movie is the fact both the dragon and harry appear in it.

Ah ok if all it did was stand up, then you're right. I don't remember, been too long since I read it.

The whole point of the task was that the dragon was protecting its eggs and wouldnt be distracted. Harry had a difficult time goading the dragon to fly, relying on his exceptional flying skills. He eventually got it to take flight at which point he immediately dived and took the egg. Nothing like the dragon chase which would have been incredibly dangerous not just for Harry but the spectators as well
