I personally believe that the final movie will be greatly inspired by the final book, and not just before the ending. WARNING!!! IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS, DO NOT READ FURTHER!!!

In the last couple of books, the humerous and childish tone of the books are gone. Instead, it became dark and serious. Hiccup is dragged into a three-way war between the Alvinsmen, the Red-Rage Rebellion and the Dragon-Markers. I think this will have lots to do with the plot of the last film, as we never had an evil dragon villain. The Red Death acted out of instincts, and was therefore not truly evil. Dangerous, yes. But not evil. Drago's Bewilderbeast was a slave, and other dragons all had their reasons. A villain like Furious, a dragon of enermous power that wanted to wipe out humanity for the sake of dragonkind...That would be awesome.

I highly believe Drago will come back as well. The creators even confirmed he will be returning. I personally think that's a good move. His defeat felt a bit...I dunno. Not very satisfying.

As for a character dying...I'm mostly neutral to that. I'm not surprised if they do, nor if they don't. If a main character dies, it must be for a good cause and he/she must die with honor, like Stoick did. I highly doubt Stormly or Meatlug dies, considering they're not important enough for the overall story. THAT is the reason Stoick was killed of. That was a major turning point in Hiccup's character development. Do you think he would have the same reaction if Snotlout or Eret died? No, someone he loved had to die for that. And Stoick's dead was a bold move, and I greatly admire and respect DeBlois for it. It made the movie more adult and darker. And that's just my opinion, but I love movies like that. Officially, HTTYD is a franchise for children. But it took many risks you usually won't see in similiar movies and series.

A new Night Fury...I think Night Furries will appear. But for the love of God, I do hope we don't get the loyalty crisis, nor a romance between Toothless and a female. That's the stuff of fanfiction. BAD fanfiction. I never read ONE original, good, well-written and well-thought story that featured the origins of Toothless and other Night Furries.

And dragons leaving...As strange as it sounds, I HOPE this happens. Its a sad ending, a tear-jerking one. But also dramatic, beutifull and seems like a near-perfect way to close the series. Will it be heart-breaking? Oh hell yes! Will it be bold and daring? Again, yes! It seems like a good ending and I wonder how they will handle it.

And like I already explained in another post, Hiccup will make a great chieftain. You may find the idea of Hiccup becoming an actual chieftain repulsive, but I find the idea of Hiccup abondoning his duties for the sake of flying around or exploring repulsive. As the books taught us a lot, we all have to grow up some day. Infact, Book!Hiccup once admitted that he never wanted the role of King of the Wilderwest, but accepted it because the people need him. Movie!Hiccup is also not selfish. He will put the needs of the many above his own, just as Stoick taught him. Speaking of which, I don't think you read the books. I assure you, they are NOT bad. I actually have an extremely hard time deciding which one is better. And btw, Toothless isn't a Common or Garden, Fishlegs is far from being an idiot (If anything, he is one of the best characters in the series, almost Shakespearian in my opinion. Those who read the last book know what I mean ;)) and while it is true Astrid isn't present, Camicazi is also a very good character.

I also firlmy believe the story will take years later, where Astrid and Hiccup might even be married. However, DeBlois and Cressida Cowell already confirmed the dragons will leave and that the franchise will end with the first line of the first book: There were dragons when I was a boy...God, I'm gonna cry XD
