Favorite Dragon Species
From Harry Potter Wikia :
"The Fireball is scarlet and smooth scaled with a fringe of golden spikes around its snub-snouted face and extremely protuberant eyes. Its name is derived from the mushroom-shaped flame that comes from its nostrils when angered, along with the large mushroom-shaped flame it shoots from its mouth. The Fireball weighs between two and four tons. The Fireball is aggressive but, unlike other dragons, it is more tolerant of its own kind, and will sometimes consent to sharing its territory with up to two other dragons."
What is your favorite dragon species?
Hmm, not sure I know enough about dragon species to pick, but I do know I LOVE books about dragons.
ReplyDeletehahaha I ALWAYS crack up at the way Crouch says that one too ^^ OoooOooh! It sounds pretty fierce too but I love the red colouring with golden spikes, almost makes it sound like a true Gryffindor dragon :D
ReplyDeleteI too don't know much about dragon but I do love Myth, legend and book about dragons :D but if i have to choose i will say a black dragon black is strong color :D
ReplyDeleteGreat choice :) I actually forgot about the Fireball actually. Strange because my favourite colour is red so it would have been a good fit for me haha.
ReplyDeleteHahahah! Brilliant video. It was difficult to pick between the choices this week. I love the dragons!
ReplyDeleteHis facial expression cracks me up, too! I don't know that I have a favorite dragon...I kinda love them all. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way Crouch says that line in the GoF movie, too! I also loved the way he said "Hungarian Horntail," though I felt really, really bad for Harry!
ReplyDeleteI do too! I'm looking forward to reading Talon...it's just sitting there waiting for me to get to it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm not the only one! I never really thought about it being a Gryffindor dragon, but you're absolutely right!
ReplyDeleteThe black dragon in Harry Potter according to the Harry Potter wikia is the Hebridean Black: It has dark rough scales, ridges along its back, and a tail tipped with an arrow-shaped spike. The Hebridean Black has brilliant purple eyes and can grow to be up to thirty feet long. Its favourite food isdeer, although it has been known to carry off cows.
ReplyDeleteHaha! True...definitely would've been a nice fit. I forgot about some out there as well that were chosen ;)
ReplyDeleteRight! I just love that part :D Dragons are fantastic...they are definitely hard to choose a favorite from.
ReplyDeleteI love them all too! I just adore the way he says it so this one sticks in my mind when I think of HP dragons :D
ReplyDeleteMe too! Harry had a bad run of it.
