Common Welsh Green Dragon
On a recent visit to a Flying Tiger store I came across dragon erasers, pretty cool! And the picture on the front of the box reminded me of the scene when Ron is explaining to Harry that there are wild dragons in Britain.
“But there aren’t wild dragons in Britain?” said Harry.
“Of course there are,” said Ron. “Common Welsh Green and Hebridean Blacks. The Ministry of Magic has a job hushing them up, I can tell you. Our kind have to keep putting spells on Muggles who’ve spotted them, to make them forget.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Needless to say, I bought a couple of them.
The dragon is around 75mm high, mostly blue with brown wings and a green underbelly. So, if you want to add a little dragon to your desktop or know someone who would then this could be the dragon for you.
Disclaimer: TheDragon was purchased with my own funds at retail price. The opinions expressed in this review are my own; and I am not connected with either the retailers or manufacturers in any way.
