Where to start with How to Train Your Dragon

The films alone are three and simple. What makes this one worth reading is that a hundred and eighteen episodes of television sit inside the gap between the first film and the second, and a half-hour special sits inside the third film's ending.

  1. 1
    How to Train Your Dragon (2010) How to Train Your Dragon

    Complete on its own and still the best of them. Nothing before it, and everything else in this list assumes it.

  2. 2
    DreamWorks Dragons, season 1 DreamWorks Dragons

    Picks up directly after the first film. The whole eight-season run is where the Dragon Riders become a unit and where several things the second film simply presents as true actually happen.

  3. 3
    How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) How to Train Your Dragon 2

    Five years after the first film, and the series has just spent a hundred and eighteen episodes covering those five years. It works without them, but a lot of it is explained rather than assumed if you watched.

Then what? Then The Hidden World, and here is the one genuinely unusual instruction: stop before its final scene, watch the half-hour Homecoming special, then go back for that epilogue. Homecoming is set a decade after the dragons leave and it fills the trilogy's last time jump. The live-action films are a separate track remaking the same story and should not be mixed in.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
