Someone recently posted how the Voldemort anagram from CoS
(Tom Marvolo Riddle <> I am Lord Voldemort) is given in the Spanish
translation: Tom Sorvolo Ryddle <> Soy Lord Voldemort
Here is an interesting site that gives many HP character names in a
dozen different translations:
http://www.geocities.com/morgenglanz/hp/hpintern.html
It includes the following "translations" for Tom Marvolo Riddle:
German - Tom Vorlost Riddle
Dutch - Marten Asmodom Vilijn
Norwegian - Tom Venster
Swedish - Tom Gus Malvoro Dolder
French - Tom Elvis Jedusor
Finnish - Tom Lomen Valedro
Hungarian - Tom Rowle Denem
Disappointingly, it doesn't give "Voldemort" at all. It only
gives "You Know Who" (Du-weißt-schon-wer, Vous-savez-qui).
Scaredy-cats!!
Would those with access to the books in different languages mind
posting the translation of Lord V's name, and how the anagram is
presented (if at all)? I'll post the French tonight.
Thanks,
