Post GoF Dragon images

Images of the animatronic dragon puppets used in 'Goblet of Fire' for the filming of the first task have emerged.

They look to be three completely different dragons.

Green Dragon
Purple Dragon
Red Dragon

Ya I don;t think they look like how they are described in the book, but ah well, I am very reminded of Jurassic Park though,

I think they look an awful lot like the basilisk did in CoS. I think the purple might be the hungarian horntail, and i agree with the Chinese dragon thing.

It'll be as happened qith buckbeack it looked pretty fake in the pre-movie pix but in the movie it looks awesome, I'm sure it'll be exactly the same with the dragons

They do look a bit like the Basilisk but that's because we only see their heads. Once we see their whole bodies and once they're touched up a bit with computers, etc, they'll look much better. I'm personally excited to see them in action.

That green one looks like the basilisk from CoS....

And, yeah, once the final touches have been made it'll look more realistic, just like the basilisk.

Angry What November isn't here yet? What do you mean there still filming?

OMG...didn't I say this was going to be the greatest movie ever? Because I did.
Animatronic not CGI how cool is that? It's bound to lend a greater sense of realism, this is too cool I can't wait...

The green would be the Welsh common green most likely.

Facially, they are ALL different in shape and size. That's easily seen through the small images.

The Basilisk is a part of the same family, so really what does everyone expect?

No. Animatronics and puppets, combined with CGI touches to perfect it. That way, it's more realistic and they can see how it would move. Like they did with Buckbeak & the Dementors.

Yeah, there will be four. These photo's were sneakily taken on set so we're lucky they got the three.

But these are just for the actors to work off. CGI will be added later.
