The Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Although it isn't explained in the movie, the house that Voldemort is seen scheming with Wormtail and Nagini, as well as another one of his Death Eaters isn't only an abandoned manor. It is the Riddle House. This was Voldemort's grandfathers home, and also where his father, Tom Riddle Sr., lived.

The Death Eater with Voldemort in this scene is revealed at the end of the movie to have impersonated Mad-Eye Moody in order to submit Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire and to be chosen as a Tri-Wizard champion. This was all part of Voldemort's plan for one of his many attempts at Harry's demise. The book reveals that the Death Eater is none other than Bartemous Crouch Jr.

Bartemous Crouch Sr. is head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and overseer of the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Crouch Sr. sentenced his son to Azkaban for being a Death Eater. As a final wish from his dying wife, Crouch Sr. smuggled their son out of Azkaban, only to be retrieved by Voldemort to be used as a piece in his plan to kill Harry during the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

P.S. The bird bites
