Smaug

Smaug is not a character or creature that appears in the original seven Harry Potter novels or the wider canonical Wizarding World. The name is not mentioned in any context within the primary source material. The confusion likely arises from the prominent role of dragons within the Harry Potter series and Smaug's status as one of the most famous dragons in modern literature. Smaug is the primary antagonist in J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 novel, The Hobbit. While the Wizarding World features several powerful and notable dragons, such as the Hungarian Horntail faced by Harry Potter during the Triwizard Tournament or the Ukrainian Ironbelly guarding the high-security vaults of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, none are named Smaug.
