One of the biggest losses when reading the Chinese version of Harry Potter is that it is often impossible to see how carefully Rowling names the characters. Here are some interesting ones: 1 Gryffindor: Gryffindor's name comes from the French gryffin d' or means golden Gryffindor. Gryffindor is a half-lion, half-eagle creature in Greek mythology. Christianity later often used it as a symbol of Jesus because it represents the earth (lion) and sky (eagle). Control 2 Slytherin: Slytherin is changed from the English Slithering. The word means to glide in a meandering way. It is often used to describe snakes. 3 Ravenclaw: Ravrnclaw. The literal translation is raven's paw. 4 Hufflepuff: Hufflepuff originates from English Huff & Puff are both related to blowing. This name is not very flattering. 5 Muggle: Muggle is derived from the English slang Mug, which means fool. 6 Albus Dumbledore: Albus (Albus) comes from Latin. The meaning is because Dumbledore is a white magician who opposes the black magician Voldemort. According to Rowling, another way of writing bumble-bee in English is that she thinks Dumbledore likes music. He probably often hums while walking. 7 Riddle (Voldemort's original name): Riddle means a riddle in English. As soon as you look at this name, you know that Rowling is going to play a word game. 8 Voldemort: Voldemort is derived from the French Vole de mort, which means the flight of death or Flying Away from Death 9 Severus Snape: Severus (Severus) means sternness in Latin, which is perfectly consistent with Snape's character. Snape (Snake) is the name of a small town in England. There is only one letter difference from Snake in English! 10 Remus Lupine: Lupine comes from the Latin root Lup, which means wolf. Lupine is like a wolf, and Lupus is the Leopard Wolf constellation. It is said that France and Norman The residents of the area called the werewolf Lupine, and Remus is even more interesting. This is the name of one of the twins who was fed by a she-wolf in Roman legend. 11 Sirius Black: Sirius is of course Sirius (but no Little meaning! The translation is confusing!!) And Black is black and his transformation is a big black dog 12 Peter Pettigrew: The name Peter is so common that it doesn’t seem to have any special meaning (Why should the name be translated in the translation? Upside down? Inexplicable!) Pettigrew means very small and does not mean star! The name can also be broken down to become Pet I Grew, which means almost I became a pet! Interesting! 13 Argus Fee Filch: Filch is the English verb to steal, and Argus is a giant monster with a hundred eyes in Greek mythology. He was sent to guard by Hera, the wife of the great god Zeus, and was turned into a little mother by Zeus. Cow Lover 14 Hagrid: According to Rowling, Hagrid is an Old English word meaning a bad night/a night of bad sleep.

This professor has become the past tense of the ghost in the history of magic. 18 Luwei (Hagrid's three-headed dog): The name is originally Chinese Fluffy, which means fluffy. It is often used as a name for puppies and kittens. Hagrid named a ferocious three-headed giant dog a little pug in the lovely Minerva McGonagall: Minerva, usually translated as Minerva, the wise woman in Roman mythology
God, the goddess Athena in Greek mythology. Hermione: From the pronunciation, Hermione can be judged to be derived from the name of Hermes, the famous messenger of the gods on Mount Olympus in Greece. The popular "hermeneutics" in the field of philosophy today was originally derived from the name of Hermes. No wonder Hermione is known for her wit and wisdom in the novels, and many riddles can be easily solved by her. This is also the name of a character in Shakespeare's famous play "The Winter's Tale".
