Heh. Looks closer to the original Falkor.
(Somewhat OT: If you want a luckdragon far, far more like the original Michael Ende character, watch Spirited Away sometime. Haku's dragon form owes a huge amount to Falkor's original design, and his helpful-but-enigmatic, somewhat self-serving manner also recalled Falkor's personality from the book. THAT was what a luckdragon truly was).

It's slightly OT but have you ever seen Spirited Away?
When Haku first revealed his (original) draconic form, it was literally the first thing that popped into my head: "Holy sh*t, it's a Michael Ende luckdragon! This explains exactly why Haku is the way he is!"
(And turned out I wasn't far off. Fuchur was an air-elemental dragon; Haku was a mix of air and water elements, being the draconic spirit of a small, rapidly flowing river).
I'm glad you got to read the book. It actually was assigned in my advanced college German class, because it is very simply written and easy to grasp if you have a basic command of German. I got to read at least part of it in the original German, as well as the English translation, and it remains to this day one of my favorite fantasy novels.

See it (Spirited Away) yesterday. Even if you are not an anime fan, it is one of Hayao Miyazaki's two finest movies.
It mostly concerns the adventures of a little girl who accidentally stumbles into the world of the yokai with her parents. Being as how they do not know the ways of the spirits, her parents eat the food of the yokai and end up turned into pigs, but Chihiro avoids this fate. She meets a mysterious young boy - Haku - who tells her the rules of the spirit world and takes her to it's centre - a bathhouse for yokai run by a rich, greedy and very nasty witch, Yubaba. She press-gangs Chihiro in as a bathhouse servant, working with an older, world-weary and very sarcastic weasel-spirit called Lin. Chihiro tries to adopt to this world, in hopes that Yubaba can be convinced to turn her parents back...
...but very little is as it seems in the world of the yokai.
It's equal parts Alice in Wonderland, Neverending Story, and Japanese folktale, and it is all awesome.
