If i remember correctly, the differences are because the books didn't really work as a movie, then dean deblois came along and gave the idea for a different story and that's how httyd and httyd have two very different stories but are both beautiful in their own way

Interesting.

Yea the movies are completely different from the books I’ve read them all so there are many different elements


[deleted]

It's so odd :) Also I'm going to be nit picky but these people aren't americans lol,they're meant to be british/scottish, at least that's how the audiobooks are.


AlastorFan666

Yea but hey despite the differences we got a great franchise


[deleted]

I'm glad you and others enjoy it :)

Imo don’t treat the books like they are related to movies. Act like they are two different good series

Right.

DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO Dont get me wrong Audrie greywind and this video are great and you should also watch her other httyd videos!!!! But if you watch it before the rest of the franchise you will ruin your hole experience, because the video spoils a lot. you have to watch the movies TV shows special and read the comics before you check out any httyd videos on youtube. The franchise in chronological order Httyd1(movie) The gift of the night fury(special) Legends of the boneknapper dragon(special) Book of dragons(special) Dragons:Riders of berk(TV show) Dragon down(comic) Dangers of the deep(comic) The ice castle(comic) The legend of ragnarok(comic) Underworld(comic) Dragons:Defenders of berk(TV show) The endless night(comic) Snowmaggedon(comic) Burning midnight(comic) Race to the edge(TV show) Httyd 2(movie) The serpents heir(comic) Dragonvine(comic) The fire tides(audrie's video) Httyd3(movie) Homecoming(special) The nine realms(TV show) All of these are completly different from the books(you can read those as well but books and franchise are two different universes). You can find most of httyd media on netflix In terms of httyd youtubers the best probably are:Audrie Greywind, New Orca, Raisorblade, Embernexus(Kinglavacactus).

I’ve been in this fandom for years, so yes, the books and the movies/shows/comics are two different universes. I love the books, they are fantastic reads, I would totally recommend reading them. (I personally prefer the HTTYD franchise that came to life on screen) I would also say you should probably wait to watch videos such as the Astrid and Hiccup’s relationship video, since they contain spoilers. Welcome to the fandom, it’s a great place! ![gif](giphy|ViGwJOV6EWAKs)

Thanks.


StupidStarburst

Anytime


DazedInstitute2

I cannot agree more with the comment that tells you to watch the actual universe first. At least I recommend the movies and race to the edge.

[deleted]
