For the purposes of this poll, “Harry Potter” does NOT COUNT as a valid answer. If it is the media that introduced dragons into your life, ignore it and please enter the next media with dragons that came into your life after HP.

IF you first heard of dragons somewhere else, please SPECIFY the name of that media IN THE NOTES. I was going to add an “Other (please specify in notes/tags)” but I have apparently run out of available answers. Also it seems I’m only able to run the poll for a week maximum, so that’s how long it’ll run. I hope to have fun with your answers :)

I may have heard of them first from a Russian fairytale we had, Vassily the Unlucky. But if so he was a very unusual dragon that looked like a gluttonous yellow dragonfly.

But yeah, fairytales should maybe be an option. And Puff the Magic Dragon!

I don’t remember if it was the first, but Dealing With Dragons had such a huge & early impact on my life that i think it should count for this.

Why are all the media on here for at least eight-year-olds and up, if not adults? Fairy tales have dragons in them, Disney and Dreamworks movies have dragons in them, Dragon Tales was a popular preschool show. I don't remember first learning about dragons but it sure wasn't from any of the listed media.

I mean the never-ending story came out in ‘79 (the movie in ‘84) and although the site is aging, I don’t think a majority has reached their fifties yet. I also don’t really remember when I first encountered the concept of dragons, but given that I watched the movie pretty early on it might well have been.
