That is indeed genuinely awesome. Legolas Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 12:24:07 AM
Let me just say Quidditch is translated as Rumpeldunk, and Hagrid is Gygrid. And Ron is Ronny!

Especially Rumpeldunk. Of course, Norwegian in general looks funny *ducks*, but that's just great.

The Dutch translation has stuff that makes me cringe too, mind. But at least they did good work on Voldemort's name.

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 2162 Views
You're right. It's not as bad the second (or third) time around with him. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 01:54:01 PM 1975 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1982 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 2065 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 2111 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 2060 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1762 Views
I always felt that the first two movies were the best, and the others bungled the atmosphere. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 21/07/2010 03:08:29 PM 1123 Views
