Apparently not important enough to spell Hufflepuff or Gryffindor right.
probaly the German names. ;O
they didn’t change the names in the German books
They only change things in the American books, because the word “philosopher” kills our brains.
In the Dutch books they changed almost every name. It’s really annoying.
I dunno, Professor Anderling has a certain ring to it, and most of the characters kept their first names, at least. Going from Hermione to Hermelien isn’t too bad, and, let’s face it, most English speakers probably tripped over the name Hermione the first time they saw it, too. “Mum, what’s this word?” “Er… ask your father.”
Although trying to figure out who the heck Marcel Lubbermans is…
Ahaha, yeah. Snape/Sneep is still pronounced the same, so that’s ok.
But still, Dumbledore > Perkamentus.
Continuing with Snape, in French he was called Prof. “Rouge” (as in “Moulin Rouge”)
No, he is called Severus Rogue in french…
A lot of Harry Potter names were translated in french. Gryffindor -> Gryffondor ; Slitheryn -> Serpentard (which could be translated as “Snake-ish”) ; Ravenclaw -> Serdaigle (“serre d’aigle” means “eagle claw”) ; Hufflepuff -> Poufsouffle…
Tom Marvolo Riddle -> Tom Elvis Jedusor – this one was pretty clever, as the french name is an anagram of “Je suis Voldemort” (“I am Voldemort”), and Jedusor is similar with “jeu du sort”, which means litterally “trick of fate”.
Other tanslations were : Snape -> Rogue ; Filch -> Rusard ; muggle -> moldu
Proffesor Banning?
No one knows ^^
It´s Neville Longbottom
The Danish, too. That’s why I only read the English. I think the French is completely different, too.
they have changed the names for a reason, I read somewhere that J.K. Rowling chose every name to fit the persons character, for example, Prof. mcgonigal’s first name is Minerva and (if I’m not mistaking) Minerva is the Roman goddess of knowledge. To have other names make sense too they had to change names. Take Tom riddle, in Dutch his name is marten asmodom Vilijn, wich is a anagram for ‘mijn naam is voldemort’ (my name is voldemort) and hermione’s last name in dutch is Griffel wich is an old type of pen, since hermione’s smart I get were they got it from. So they changed the names to make sure the idea that Rowling had was clear for the dutch people (the play on words in the names)
They also changed ‘mum’ to ‘mom’, although the versions I have they only did it for the first one.
I thought it was surprising, though, they changed that because they leave other ‘Britishisms’ in there that I would think be less likely to be known.
I know, it seems like they said “hmm, let’s americanize it”, then after find and replace on “philosopher” and “mum”, they were like, screw this.
Exactly what I thought.
The French books have different names for things that make sense in French, unlike the Spanish books which just translate literally, ie: El callon Diagon = Diagon Alley. The Spanish version does not acknowledge the pun with “diagonally”
hufflepuffs are particularly good finders!
What the hell is a hufflepuff?!
Somebody not Win enough to get into Gryffindor, while not being evil enough for Slitherin, or smart enough for Ravenclaw.
Don’t really matter if you are as smart and as compulsively studious as Hermione, you are gonna be Gryddindor if you are anyone.
All the online tests always said I would be Hufflepuff >.< It's because I'm caring!!!!
They all say I’m Ravenclaw. Cuz I’m a geek, and proud of it!
I’m a self proclaimed Hufflepuff, and apparently the only one who cares enough for that house. Some of friends, plus my Hp addict aunt say that I’m Ravenclaw, for my schoolwork and nerd-itude, and the rest of my friends say I’m Slytherin, ‘cuz i’m the evil one.
I’m happy that I’m a Hufflepuff. People boast that they’re Gryffindor because they just want the house Harry and co. were in, Ravenclaw because they think that just the smart people are in there, and create Slytherin characters for you’re typical Anti-Sue charrie, or write stories where Albus Severus is a Slytherin.
Bumble Badgers, UNITE!
*high five* Go Hufflepuffs!
GO HUFFIES! =-D
…HUFFLEPUFF POWER! =-D
And Cedric Diggory was in Hufflepuff, too.
Hufflepuff is only important when
A) they need someone to lose a quittich game against Gryffindor
B) when they need someone to become important in one book, then die.
Hufflepuff was really good at quidditch in the beginning
FYI, Hufflepuff beat Gryffindor in book 3.
I don’t FIND that amusing at all!
Or when you need to find something.
i scrolled down half a page of people complaining about splling errors to find comments regarding AVPM…thank you.
Anything to talk about AVPM. Anything…
Harry, I think I FOUND something.
I FIND this very amusing!
Find!
*Sits Down*
FIND!
I don’t FIND this to be surprising at all!
Hufflepuff- FIND!! what?
“It seems like we have been transported to some mystery location!” =D
“Harry, I think I FOUND something!” =D
“Riddle me this, eh Potter?” =D
“So many regrets. I’m dead!” =DD
This comment is a win. 100% Win. <3 for U of M!
Let’s not forget Cedric! Them Huffinpuffs deserve a LITTLE more credit!
(Just keeping with the lolscrewhousenames theme the graph sets.)
You can’t judge an entire house by one person…
So name a second.
Can you do it? I think not!
Justin Finch-Fletchley, the muggle-born who revealed to Harry his blood purity not long before being petrified by the Basilisk, furthering the belief that Harry was the Heir of Slytherin.
I can also recall Hannah Abbot and Susan Bones as students during the series, and Professor Sprout as being the Head of Hufflepuff.
Zacharias Smith was a Hufflepuff wasn’t he?
I don’t remember, honestly.
He was. As was Ernie Macmillan.
And I could only remember Cho, Luna, and Flitwick for Ravenclaw.
Michael Corner, Terry Boot, Padma Patil, Mandy Brocklehurst etc. etc.
Oh, and whichever Patil twin was in Ravenclaw.
Padma
Tonks was in Hufflepuff and she was definitely pretty cool. Plus she was an Auror, which was Harry’s dream job.
when does it say tonks was in hufflepuff?
I think J.K. said it during an interview
Tonks is AMAZING! Not just “pretty cool”
who cares how they’re spelled? Either way it’s a good story
You forgot Sparklypoo.
AND jigglypuff
Well Cedric was in Hufflepuff
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN HUFFLEPUFF. SUCH A LOW-STRESS GROUP. But yeah, nobody loves them.
“The sorting hat looked deep into your soul and what it saw there evidently didn’t impress.”
Seriously?!?!? This may have been cute 10 years ago.
Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders!
You’re too late. I all ready made that joke.
Hufflepuff is better than that… Jigglypuff
There’s no way we’re losing to Slytherin… or Ravenclaw… or Jigglypuff.
Aww now I have to FIND another Hufflepuff quote.
I’m sure you’ll FIND a great one
I’m not dangerous!…and im not homeless…..anymore…
Join House Ravenclaw:
1. No one laughs at you
2. You’re not evil.
3. You don’t die in battle.
1. Almost everyone laughed at Luna.
2. You just invited evil people to join Ravenclaw.
3. Fifty unnamed people died in the final battle, you can’t assume that none of them were in Ravenclaw.
Also, Tonks was in Hufflepuff!
yes! i join Ravenclaw
Ravenclaw!♥ :B
WIN
Well luckily you don’t have to worry about houses in Pigfarts… Or do you?
No, there’s just “worthy of riding on Rumbleroar’s back” and “non-worthy”. But you only get in the first if you are good
Rumble roar might find a lion-themed house offensive…
All the noise from inter-house rivalry would wake his slumbering cubs.
What the hell is a Hufflepuff??
There are four houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff.
FIND!!
What?
Shut up, Hufflepuff is awesome.
I always pictured Gryffindors as cl@sterfucks, Slytherins as pretentious jerks, Ravenclaws as frigids and Hufflepuffs as most normal people you would actually hang out with. Every house has its awesomeness, but I just don’t think it’s fair to judge a house because it got the least attention from the author.
The Morons, the Borons, the Brains, and the Junior Death Eaters.
Gryffs are supposed to be brave, daring, and chivilrous,
‘Puffs are just, loyal, true, and unafraid of toil,
‘Claws are smart, witty, and studious (wit beyond measure is a man’s greatest treasure),
and Slytherins are cunning, ambitious, and for the most part pure-bloods. There are only two half-blood slytherins in the book, Snape and Riddle (Voldie).
Actually, Slytherin should have more a little more space in the chart.
I thought it was Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and…. Jigglypuff
ahahaha WIN.
who looks stupid now? YOU DO!
yeah because you have a trumpeting butt!!
Well, I don’t FIND this surprising at all.
I know. It’s sad.
Anyone who knew the importance of Gryffindor House would know, the house color is BURGUNDY, not red.
Anyone who really knew the importance of Gryffindor House would know, the house color is not red OR burgundy; they’d know it’s in face SCARLET (and gold)
OMG BLUE PAC MAN :O
im the 1% in hufflepuff!!!!!!
me tooooo
you fail at spelling.
Other houses have plenty of “poor students” Neville was one of the worst students until Year 7, and Crabbe and Goyle were Slytherin, and Goyle was “almost as stupid as he was mean” Plus, they weren’t particularly cunning, were they? And Jo said that Moaning Myrtle was Ravenclaw. Don’t assume that every character that’s not important ended up a Hufflepuff.
Actually Hufflepuff does have a good amount of importance since *SPOILER ALERT* one of Voldie’s Horcruxes is the Hufflepuff cup thingy.
We have another great song about Hufflepuffs:
Also, you can buy our songs on iTunes! Just search “Blibbering Humdingers”
(this has been a shameless commercial plug)
LOL HEY LOOK ITS PAC-MAN!!!!!
