Jag kommer inte ihåg vad som hände i filmen, men i boken Dumbledore var lugn.
“Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?” he asked calmly.
“No,” said Harry. He was very aware of everybody watching him closely. Snape made a soft noise of impatient disbelief in the shadows.
“Did you ask an older student to put it into the Goblet of Fire for you?” said Professor Dumbledore, ignoring Snape.
“No,” said Harry vehemently.

Jag tror att Hermione förklarar Ron reaktion mycket bra, när hon säger
“Oh Harry, isn’t it obvious?” Hermione said despairingly. “He’s jealous!”
“Jealous?” Harry said incredulously. “Jealous of what? He wants to make a prat of himself in front of the whole school, does he?”
“Look,” said Hermione patiently, “it’s always you who gets all the attention, you know it is. I know it’s not your fault,” she added quickly, seeing Harry open his mouth furiously. “I know you don’t ask for it... but - well - you know, Ron’s got all those brothers to compete against at home, and you’re his best friend, and you’re really famous - he’s always shunted to one side whenever people see you, and he puts up with it, and he never mentions it, but I suppose this is just one time too many...

Det finns andra skäl, för det var första gången Ron inte var involverad i Harrys äventyr.
1. Harry Potter och Sorcererens Sten: Ron vann 50 poäng för Gryffindor
“First — to Mr. Ronald Weasley...”
Ron went purple in the face; he looked like a radish with a bad sunburn.
“... for the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years, I award Gryffindor house fifty points.”

2. Harry Potter och Secrets Chamber: Ron vann Special Awards och 200 poäng för Gryffindor
“You will both receive Special Awards for Services to the School and — let me see — yes, I think two hundred points apiece for Gryffindor.”

3. Harry Potter och Azkabans fånge: Behövs att slå ministeriet för magi och sparade Sirius Black
Titta nu på det från Rons perspektiv, hittade hans bästa vän ett sätt att bli andramästare i Hogwarts, men Harry hjälpte inte honom att bli en mästare eller störde Harry med att informera honom. Som en vän som stod vid Harry för att bekämpa Voldemort, Lupine (när han var varulv) och dementorerna, kände Ron naturligtvis att han hade låtit sig av Harry.
