I was scouting around for Harry Potter obscurities [as you do] and found
a glossary of words on a Dutch fan site. I thought you'd like to see
some of the more exotic 'alternatives:

De Dikke Dame - The Fat Lady

Hermelien Griffel - Hermione Granger

Ron Wemel - Ron Weasley

Zweinstein Hogeschool voor Hekserij & Hocus-Pocus - Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry

Severus Sneep - Severus Snape

Albus Perkamentus - Albus Dumbledore

Gladianus Smalhart - Gilderoy Lockhart

Der Wegisweg - Diagon Alley

Jenny Jammerende - Moaning Myrtle

Zwerkbal - Quidditch

Zwadderich - Slytherin

Schurfie - Scabbers

Funny - in some languages, they change loads, in others, hardly anything.
