"Well, now we're all here — time to fill you in! When the audience has assembled, I'm going to be offering each of you this bag — from which you will each select a small model of the thing you are about to face! There are different — er — varieties, you see."
Ludo Bagman informing Triwizard champions about these objects before the first task[src]

Model dragons[4] were magical, realistic models of various types of dragons such as; Hungarian Horntails, Chinese Fireballs, Swedish Short-Snouts, and Common Welsh Greens.[1]

These models had various usages, such as roasting chestnuts and presumably other foods.[2]

Most notably, they were used by the Triwizard Tournament champions who each drew small model dragons out of a silk bag prior to the first task. The type of model indicated which dragon they had to face. A long time after the second task, the miniature figurine of Viktor Krum was seen trying to fight Harry Potter's dragon model at the Gryffindor Boys' Dormitory.[1]

In Diagon Alley in August 1996, there was a dragon model in the roast chestnuts sale machine.[2]

In the 2010s, dragonologist Long Shouren would gift Professor Rubeus Hagrid model dragons every time he visited, one of them being of a Portuguese Long-Snout.[3]
