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.
