As of early 2026, you cannot ride a dragon in the vanilla version of Hogwarts Legacy. While dragons are featured prominently in the game’s main quests and "Poppy Sweeting" storylines, they are not accessible as permanent mounts. The available flying mounts in the game remain limited to the Hippogriff, Thestral, and Broomsticks. For 2026 players on PC, however, there are popular community-developed mods that allow you to swap your mount's appearance for a dragon, though this is purely aesthetic and does not change the flight mechanics. While fans have consistently requested dragon-riding in a potential sequel or major DLC, the current game developers have prioritized the lore-friendly "taming" of beasts like Graphorns over the ability to command a dragon as a primary mode of transportation.
