<< One thing that I think is interesting, however, is how they change Tom Riddle's name.  If you recall, he writes out TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE and rearranges it to spell I AM LORD VOLDEMORT.  In Spanish, he is TOM SORVOLO RYDDLE so that when rearranged, it spells SOY LORD VOLDEMORT. How do other languages do this passage?  I would be interested to find 
out. >>

My personal favorite is the French translation, where ol' Voldy becomes Tom Elvis Jedusor. "You ain't nothin' but a Dark lord... cursin' all the time..."
