Harry, very interested in the magical world he had newly been exposed to, tried to get Hagrid to tell him more about the dragons. Returning to the first book, in 1991, when Hagrid talked to Harry about Gringotts Wizarding Bank (the first time they visited the bank), he told him the rumours that dragons were guarding some of their vaults. The new is easier to pose with more points of articulation while the older, being moulded in fewer parts, has a cleaner look – but maybe a bit too cartoonish. They are very different in design – the new mostly brick-built and the older made of very few large moulded parts. In my review of the 2019 Hungarian Horntail – Triwizard Challenge set, I compared the two. The Hungarian Horntail dragon was first released as LEGO model in 2005. The latter is the only one that has been released in LEGO sets, first in 2005 ( set 4767) and more recently in 2019 ( set 75946).

Tri-wizard tournamentĪfter Norbert, the next time we hear about dragons is in The Goblet of Fire. Female dragons, according to Charlie Weasley, are more violent and ferocious. Years later, in The Deathly Hallows, at Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour’s wedding, Hagrid is told by Charlie that Norbert was actually a female dragon, now with the name Norberta.
Charlie, who had always got on well with Hagrid because of their shared love of dragons, agreed to help and arranged for some of his friends to pick up Norbert and deliver him to the dragon sanctuary in Romania where he worked. So they send Charlie a letter, asking for help. Realising he may try to use the knowledge to harm Hagrid (and as Hermoine acknowledge having a fire breathing creature in a wooden hut is a bad idea), they convince him to part with the dragon.īut how? Harry remembers he was told when meeting Ron the first time at Flourish and Botts that Ron’s brother Charlie Weasley was in Romania studying dragons. It turned out Draco Malfoy was watching the hatching of the dragon through the window of the hut, but it’s speed by the trio. Keeping the egg warm!īut there is more when it comes to Norbert. The latest version of Hagrids hut ( set 75947) from 2019 has the dragon egg sitting cosily in the fire place, though the set otherwise as the second version focused on The Prisoner of Azkaban and in particular the story around the rescue of Buckbeak.

The third version of Hagrids hut ( set 4738) from 2010 also had the dragon, this time in dark green (the second version of Hagrid’s hit focused on The Prisoner of Azkaban movie and had no references to Norbert). It was the first appearance of that element ( ID 41535) ever and the only time it has appeared in sand green. Firstly in the first version of Hagrids hut ( set 4707) from 2001, which had a baby dragon. In LEGO, Norbert has seen an appearance in several sets. Hagrid explains it’s a Norwegian Ridgeback and later names it Norbert. Rubeus Hagrid, after the newborn dragon tried to bite him The baby dragon sneezes some sparks and tries to bite Hagrid, who still thinks it’s adorable. Harry, Ron and Hermoine hurry to his hut and enter just in time to see the baby dragon hatching from its egg. Later, Harry gets a note from Hagrid that the egg is about to hatch. Hagrid keeps the hut very warm and shows the students a dragon egg that he won from a mysterious person in a poker game the previous night – at this point not knowing this was Professor Quirrell. We already get references to dragons in the first Harry Potter book. Harry, Ron and Hermoine visit Hagrid in his hut to hear more about what’s guarding the Philosopher’s stone/Sorcerer’s stone. In the coming months I’ll start populating it with more entries.
This post has been made for the new Magical Creatures page I’ve made on this site. Let’s have a look where they appear and how they have been represented in LEGO. Stories about them have always fascinated humans and it’s not surprising that they are also part of the Harry Potter universe. Dragons in various shapes and forms have been part of the mythology in both Europe and Asia for thousands of years.
