Voldemort-anagram in Norwegian

[Christian Stubø]

No: HPFGUIDX 7208

I was in a bookstore today, leafing through the Norwegian translation
of CoS (I have only read Harry Potter in English, UK-edition), and
found that the Norwegian anagram is as follows:

Tom Dredolo Venster - Voldemort Den Store

Venster may be interpreted as venstre (meaning left), though I am no
expert on obscure Norwegian words.  In Norway it has the sound of an
truly old family-name of German origin, possibly associated with
untitled nobility.  Voldemort Den Store translates as 'Voldemort The
Great', or 'The Powerful' (as a translation 'The Magnificent' will work
too, but in the context it is inappropriate).

It is worth noting that the norwegian translator has worked very hard
on translating names, phrases and puns to Norwegian (Lockhart =
Guldmedal, Snap=Slur, McGonagall=McSnurp, Dumbledore=Humlesnurr,
Hagrid=Gygrid, Hermione Granger=Hermine Grang, Malfoy=Malfang,
Quidditch=Rumpeldunk, etc.).
