Differences from the book
The film was created as an epic re-telling of the first book in the series. As such, there are numerous differences between the two media. These include a new plot, minor and major character changes, as well as a few adjustments to the overall setting. The greatest change is that the Vikings in the book have the custom of capturing and training dragons even before the story begins - but in the film, they are fighting a fierce war against the dragons and only switch to training them after Hiccup shows that this can be done. However, Cowell stated in her blog that she felt approvingly that the film remained "true to the spirit and message of the book." Cowell also explained that she felt that the changing of media (novel to film) triggered a necessary change in plot and characters.

The most notable character who appears in the film but not in the book is perhaps Astrid, a fierce Viking girl and Hiccup's love interest. However, Astrid may represent the female character Camicazi, who is present in the series of novels. Hiccup is a loyal friend of Camicazi.
