Continuity mistake: After Hiccup cuts the ropes that bind Toothless and the dragon flies away, Hiccup gets to his feet in front of the boulder, but the ropes are gone. However, when Hiccup returns the next day, he finds the ropes very close to the boulder, where they should've been all along. (00:14:45)

In HTTYD, Hiccup isn't much of a Viking, but he has a good heart and learns that he has empathy for dragons...so much that he befriends a Night Fury called "Toothless" due to its habit of hiding its teeth. Together with friends like Astrid, he overcomes a fear of dragonkind and emerges a true hero after combating the largest dragon around. A good, action-packed and funny CGI film with heart that is worth seeing.

Trivia: In the scene after Hiccup finally gets Toothless' new tail fin to work, and the two are relaxing after they fly through the fire ball, the two are greeted by a group of tiny dragons. This little dragon was actually what Toothless was originally going to be, as he was in the book, until they changed him to a dragon big enough for Hiccup to ride to suit the movie. (00:46:15)
Question: What is the gender of the giant dragon? Astrid refers to it as the Queen, but Hiccup calls it a he and him several times in their battle with it. The movie is not clear if the dragon is male or female, and the sites I searched about it were just as cryptic. So what is the gender of the giant dragon?
Chosen answer: It is never mentioned. but Astrid only used the term queen as a reference to ants' or bees' hive minds, so as it's referred to as a he every other time, we can assume it's male.

Well this was answered in the second film by Hiccup's mother. "Every nest has its Queen... but this is their king!" when she refers to the Alpha, which is a bigger and different dragon than the one in the first film. In this context, the dragon in Part 1 is a Queen, therefore female.
