James franco portrayed the character in sam raimi's spider-man film trilogy (2002—2007), and dane dehaan portrays the character in the amazing spider-man 2 (2014). harry osborn first appeared in the amazing spider-man #31 (december 1965), and was created by writer stan lee and artist steve ditko. in the amazing spider-man #122 (july 1973), harry's father, norman, is killed off, and a subplot leading to harry inheriting his father's identity as the green goblin is introduced.

James franco as harry osborn: peter's best friend and flatmate, mary jane's boyfriend and norman's son who is envious of his father's apparent closeness with peter. before being cast as harry, franco had screen tested for spider-man himself. cliff robertson as ben parker: may parker's husband and peter's uncle, a laid off electrician who is trying to find a new job.

Three villains emerge during the movie, a not-in-the-right-mind electrical engineer max dillon, played by jamie foxx, who falls into a tank full of angry laboratory eels and is turned into electro, the main villain of the film. electro, who has an obsession with the new york's superhero, nevertheless turns against him, as spider-man doesn't recall his name when they encounter for a second time. a wanna-be main villain, harry osborn/green goblin, played by dane dehaan, brings his eccentric acting skills on board and delivers a fine performance as harry osborn, which cannot be said though of his performance as green goblin, mainly for the reason that there is no substantial time to decide on this one.

He forms an obsession of spiderman because he got saved once by him. he gets electrocuted by electric eels after falling into the most precariously placed tank ever and becomes electro, whose change of heart about spiderman is so quick, blink and you'll miss it.dane dehaan plays harry osborn, peter's 'childhood friend'? the way this is written is done so poorly.

Willem dafoe plays norman osborn (who is sympathetic at first but then becomes a total jerk-wad) well, he is also very good as osborns alter ego the green goblin, he's not an overblown villain. james franco is pretty good as well, as harry osborn. rosemary harris plays a sweet aunt may, and j.k.simmons is amusing as peter's employer.

Unfortantely the rest of the cast is nowhere near as good as dunst and maguire are, with the notable exception of j.k. simmons dead on `impersonation' of the cigar chomping gruff, blowhard, j. jonah jameson – publisher of `the daily bugle'. who uses his newspaper as a soap box to trash and discredit `spiderman'. what was director sam raimi thinking when he horribly miscast joe manganiello as flash thompson, but his worst sin was james franco as harry osborn.

Foxx easily switches, from mild mannered oscorp electrical engineer, to menacing leather-clad super-villain. dane dehaan is spectacular as green goblin/harry osborn. dehaan's goblin is evil & menacing.
