Just as in the book, Gandalf wowed the Hobbits with spectacular fireworks, including one that looked incredibly like a reddish-gold dragon and briefly frightened everyone.

This suggests Bilbo believed dragons once lived near the Shire around the year 2001 of the Third Age, long before his 111th birthday. This contradicts what J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, but there’s a possible explanation to make Bilbo’s comment fit within the established lore.
