And i have two questions - first, what was, in the English original, the name of the Sports expert from the MoM (in GoF ) - it's Ludo Verpey, in the French edition;

***  Hi Cezar!  In the English version, he's Ludovic (nickname: Ludo) 
     Bagman, former Wimbourne Wasps beater (I think.), and now head of 
     the Department of Magical Games and Sports of the MoM.  Isn't it 
     weird that his surname is different in the French edition?  I 
     wonder if it's that way in other translations.  Aren't they 
     supposed to retain the names from the original version?  Oh, well.
     What do I know about that.  Anyway, thanks for the info on the
     names.  I wonder, why "Hermione"?  All I know is that Hermione
     is Helen's daughter, and wife to Neoptolemus (did I spell that
     right?) and later, Orestes.  (I sincerely hope I didn't mess up
     on that.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.).  Any ideas?
