Chinese Fireball egg shells were highly prized as potion ingredients by Chinese witches and wizards. Dragon heartstring was an exceptionally powerful, and one of the most common kinds of core used in wands.
Powdered dragon horn was used in many potions. Dragon hide was used to make clothing. Where Muggles would wear leather, wizards wore dragon hide. The skin was very tough, impervious to some spells, and provided the same physical protection as leather, while at the same time having the same texture and appearance as snake skin. Dragon hide was used to make gloves, boots, jackets and shields. In high demand at the moment was the skin of the Swedish Short-Snout.
Fred and George Weasley wore dragon skin jackets when they greeted Harry after his fifth school year. Dragon liver was sixteen Sickles an ounce, and was often used as an ingredient for potions. When Hagrid returned from his trip to the giants with many injuries actually acquired from his half-brother Grawp , he put a bloody, green-tinged, dragon meat steak, slightly larger than an average car tire, on his face as it helped the stinging.
It is not known if dragon meat was safe for humans to eat but seemed fine for canines. While dragons resisted most spells due to their hide, their eyes were their weakest point, and as such, the Conjunctivitis Curse, which caused irritation in the eyes, remained effective towards them. In the Triwizard Tournament of , Durmstrang champion Viktor Krum used this curse on a dragon, with satisfying results. Like most creatures with spell resistance , the use of multiple spells at once could override their immunity.
In the Triwizard Tournament of , Charlie Weasley and several other dragonologists used multiple Stunning Spells to successfully subdue several dragons. Native to New Zealand , the Opaleye was generally considered one of the most beautiful dragons, with pearly scales that lined its body, and glittering multi-coloured eyes that had no pupils.
Chinese Fireball known as "Lion Dragon". The Fireball was scarlet and smooth scaled with a fringe of golden spikes around its snub-snouted face and extremely protuberant eyes.
Common Welsh Green a native dragon of Great Britain. The common Welsh was green in colour and with two spiked horns that resided on top of its head. The tail was vert stream-line with a single pointed tip at the end.
Hebridean Black the other native dragon of Great Britain. It had dark rough scales, ridges along its back, and a tail tipped with an arrow-shaped spike. The Hebridean Black had brilliant purple eyes and could grow to be up to thirty feet long.
Hungarian Horntail considered to be the most dangerous dragon. It had black scales, and was lizard-like in appearance. It also had yellow eyes, bronze horns and similarly coloured spikes that protruded from its long tail. Welsh greens aren't as aggressive as their larger counterparts and prefer smaller prey like sheep over humans, but the infamous Ilfracombe Incident involved an aggressive Welsh attacking Muggles at a beach.
Fortunately, it was stopped by the vacationing Toke wizard family, who earned the Order of Merlin First Class award for their bravery. Both larger and more aggressive than its fellow British Isles dragon the Common Welsh , the Hebridean Black demands a sizable territory. Its ebon scales and piercing purple eyes grant a ferocious appearance, but the Scottish MacFusty clan has long been tasked with overseeing the Hebrideans, safeguarding the world from any potential havoc.
Unlike most dragons, who live in mountains, the Antipodean Opaleye prefers to dwell in valleys. Fortunately, this Australian native is one of the less aggressive reptiles, but what it lacks in belligerence, it makes up for in size, measuring a fierce 40 feet.
Like several dragon species, females tend to be larger than males; a series of kangaroo deaths in the s are believed to be the handiwork of a male Opaleye whose territory had been usurped by a female.
Not only is this green dragon long, it's notably bulky and muscular, possessing horns that stick straight out.
Longhorns prefer to first impale their prey, then roast them with their fire breath, making them daunting foes. That said, their numbers have declined due to the prominence of their horns as potion ingredients. The beast that Cedric Diggory faced in the Triwizard tournament, the Short-Snout is a small and rarely-seen silver-blue dragon. Don't let its size fool you: Short-Snouts are renowned for both their agility and for having the strongest flames of any dragon, burning hot enough to produce blue fire.
In the film version of Goblet of Fire , the Short-Snout strangely bears a yellow coloring as opposed to its official azure hues. While the Vipertooth is the smallest dragon, it's easily one of the most deadly. They're remarkably stealthy, and despite a comparatively diminutive size, they have a particular hunger for human flesh.
Even worse, they're the fastest of all dragons, and their fangs are venomous. This made it one of the more dangerous species of dragon. Cedric Diggory faced the breed during the Tournament.
He was able to distract the dragon long enough to retrieve the Golden Egg. The Ukranian Ironbelly was the largest breed of dragon that existed in the Wizarding World. Due to its size and strength, it was one of the most dangerous. The Ironbelly had metallic grey scales that were hard as steel. As a native to Ukraine, an Ironbelly was said to have carried off a ship sailing in the Black Sea in Newt Scamander notably worked with the breed during WWI.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione rode the dragon to make their escape after their Gringotts break-in. Newt Scamander has claimed that only ten dragon breeds existed to his knowledge but two others were revealed by Rowling. This particular breed was said to have light green scales and long pointed horns. The other breed was revealed to be the Catalonian Fireball, a breed native to Spain.
The Fireball had a scorched snout and two black horns. Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant.
