Matt Smith Admin Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 31134	May 9th, 2007 at 10:46am The Latin HP is called something like "Harrius Potter" And I don't know, I think the Irish one is called "Hari Potter". It makes me laugh.
lyrical_mess Falling In Love With The Board Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 5278	May 9th, 2007 at 10:53am There's a running joke here about Indian Harry Potter: Hari Puttar... None of you get that but still...
Flaming Phalanges! Basket Case Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 17669	May 9th, 2007 at 11:24am Haha I found the latin one hilarious. I always end up trying to pronounce the latin and welsh and all the other languages bits that are in the front of the book. And I always end up sounding completely demented.

worn-out astronaut. Had A Life Before GSB Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 28177	May 9th, 2007 at 01:25pm Quidditch in Croatian is Metloboj. Metla means a broom and boj means a fight. And they didn't translate the names just all the potions, animals, plants... I had difficult time when I started reading the English versions since I didn't know what animal they were talking about or something like that.

Flaming Phalanges! Basket Case Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 17669	May 9th, 2007 at 07:01pm What's the point in changing made up words anyway?
stilinski King For A Couple Of Days Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 3581	May 9th, 2007 at 08:28pm In French, some names [mostly the ones with puns in them] are translated. Like Grimmauld place is Square Grimmaurd [a wordplay for deathly-grey (gris-mort)] So I read the first 5 in French and read the 6th in English. And I had a rough time, in the beginning. It's crazy how little words can change the whole thing o_o Even now, I read some info and theories and all not he net, and sometimes, I have to look up in my books to see who it is, because I don't recognize the names. o_o I have a lot of favourite quotes, but one that I remember right now would be Hermione saying to Ron something along the lines of: ''(...) Well of course, you have the emotional capability of a tea spoon.'' [sorry if the translation is bad ] It made me laugh so much. I used it a couple of times xD
