Here are some of the translations of names:

Harry Potter --> Hareios Poter: "Warrior Cup"

Voldemort --> Folidomortos: "Scaly Death"

Hogwarts --> Huogoetou: "hog" + "wizard"

Quidditch --> Ikarosfairike: "Ikarus ball"
referring (rather ominously!) to the mythological 
Ikarus, who fell to his death after flying too 
close to the sun.

I wonder if JKR had input on this translation...

Speaking of 'dead' languages <eg> ...
