The episode 'Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man' is basically just the entire plot of the books.
Hamish the second (movie version of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the second) was a Hiccup and left the treasure with a bunch of riddles and puzzles and when Hiccup found the treasure there was a not that said "Only a Hiccup could get this far." Which resulted in Hiccup being more accepted by his father and the people around him and being remembered for being his own person and not the idea of the perfect ideal heir to the throne of Berk.
There were a lot of differences like, it took Hiccup 4 years to become king of the wilderwest and 3 years to get people to follow him in the fight against Alvin to do good and the treasure in the books was hidden by Grimbeard in honour of his son rather than the other way around, but it's still very much the same premise of Hiccup discovering that being a runt isn't necessarily bad and being a funky little guy is actually a really good thing.
Also, the episode where they go to Vaneheim and get stuck because of the sentinels is like in book 2 when they go ti wherever and have to fight blind and deaf dragons with an incredibly advanced sense of smell and brutal killing methods
Rewatching Heather Report, Part 1, for the first time since starting on the Httyd books has made me realize just how similar Heather's first appearance is to Alvin's in the books.
Heather was "shipwrecked", much like how Alvin was found in a coffin at sea, both have a sea-related introduction.
Heather is trying to be friendly with Hiccup and friends, because she wants something from Berk. Alvin was trying to be friendly with Hiccup and his tribe, because he wanted something from Berk.
Heather got closer to Hiccup by helping him with his forging. Alvin got closer to Hiccup by helping him with something.
Heather worked for the Outcasts. Alvin worked for the Outcasts.
Astrid was almost immediately suspicious of Heather, she tried to warn Hiccup. Toothless was immediately suspicious of Alvin, he tried to warn Hiccup.
Heather mostly succeeded in her mission. Alvin almost succeeded in his mission.
The tv-shows are probably the closest to the books than the movieverse has ever gotten.

_________________________________
Leo thought you were beautiful. With your soft skin and lush hair. Leo found it unfortunate that it wasn't real but he loved you regardless. He's never been good with people, never understanding what made them tick. But with you, since you were an automaton, it just came naturally. It's like he had a 6th sense for everything you needed. Like his magic Hepheastus powers allowed him to read your mechanical mind. He knew when you wanted flowers, when you wanted hugs, when you were bored or upset and he always tried his best to adhere to your needs.
You sat cross-legged on the floor, holding your hair out of the way while he worked on fixing a loose cog under the hatch in the back of your neck. "Jeez, Daedalus really put work into this, huh?" He muttered, impressed by the wiring and pumping of your robotic insides. Back in the labyrinth, Daedalus not only had a son, but a daughter. You weren't mentioned in mythology because you weren't as relevant as your brother Icarus. You'd never truly felt seen, being kept alive for centuries just so your father had someone to speak to to prevent insanity in the confined walls of the maze while everyone above spoke of the tragedy that was your brother's death. Maybe if you had been reckless you'd have the same recognition he does. But you were glad you'd been smarter than him because if you hadn't you would've never met Leo. Leo made you feel seen, wanted, tended to. Leo loved you, and he made that abundantly clear.
"Babe, pass me a screwdriver real quick?" He requested, gesturing to the screwdriver in the toolbox by your knee. "The small one, please." When you handed him the screwdriver he thanked you, pressing a kiss to your temple as a show of gratitude before he returned his focus to the back of your neck. You looked to the side with your eyes, watching in the mirror as he sat in a position that made him look like a shrimp with his tongue poking out of the corner of his mouth and his thick eyebrows knitted together in unwavering concentration, careful not to mess up or ruin anything. He'd never forgive himself if he messed you up somehow. He shut the hatch and grabbed your shoulder to spin you around and face him, like a hairdresser after giving you a funky new hairdo. You smiled at him and took his hand. "Thank you, Leo."
Leo fought back a shudder as your freezing cold hand intertwined with his. "No problem, babe. I love you." His hand heated up to warm yours before he let his hand cool down, the heat sticking to your fake skin and giving the illusion of a real hand holding his. A feeling he yearns for. He knows you can't give him that feeling, you know it too. And he knows you can't help it, but he craves it. No matter how realistic your skin feels or how defined your carved in fingerprints are, you aren't a real human. Not physically atleast. But even so, he loves you and there is not a thing in the world he'd give you up for, not even warm skin.
