Post subject: typos Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2004 12:19 PM

Ok, I just checked the list for typos in the German terms, and I noticed that you forgot the "und" in "Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens" (HP and the Chamber of Secrets).

Azkaban is spelled with an s in German, so the title of PoA is "Harry Potter und der Gefangene von Askaban".

Now that we know that Phineas Nigellus is also called Phineas in English, you can put a * into the German column.

Here are some names that are still missing:

goblins: Kobolde

Giants: Riesen

Portkey: Portschl�ssel

Great Hall: Gro�e Halle

Time Turner: Zeitumkehrer

Anti-Cheating Spell: Anti-Schummel-Zauber

Veela: *

Summoning Charm: Aufrufzauber

Accio: *

And I have some suggestions:

Remembrall

Devil's Snare (plant)

Quick-Quotes Quill (Rita Skeeter's quill)

Edit:Secret-Keeper

Please, can someone tell me what is their function or use? (Perhaps you know of a page where I can find them)

Okay so this post is a bit of spamming. Just saying that I've just started school again and I have quiet a few tests so I won't be a lot on Immeritus.

ook how this thread is getting on! I just left one day and there's already a hole new page! Great!

Padfootstar: I love Paddy too!

Thanks everybody for putting all the covers they are so nice! Not sure I like the German ones... The French ones are okay and seen as Hermi hasn't put order of the Phenix I'll try and find it.

edit: sorry it didn't show up the first time I went on!

Penny: sorry for the moment no names and no ezmessage! I didn't have time, I'll do everything this week-end!

No way...

Wow, such fast work!! I know, Paddy, I can't believe we're on page 5 already either. Ah, good times.

I'm heading off for work in a bit so I'll get round to editing some more tonight. If you catch any more typos or spelling variations, please let me know.

Also, has anyone been through the Lexicon's list of magical plants? Our list is only three plants longs, and somehow, I'm rathered amazed.

Keep posting; this looks great!

*hands lemonade and cookies to all diggers*

I am way behind, I'll have to find the Afrikaans books in the library once I get home (2 more sleeps and then a week of wedding madness!)

Here are the titles:

Harry Potter en die Towenaar se Steen - PS/SS Eek, I don't know if a Towenaar is a philosopher or a sorcerer. Will look up.

Harry Potter en die Kamer van Geheimenisse - CoS

Harry Potter en die Gevangene van Azkaban - PoA

Harry Potter en die Beker vol Vuur - GoF

Harry Potter en die Orde van die Feniks - OotP

...the feeling returned to him. The hand, the impression of somebody watching over him...

He wasn�t alone anymore. He was never alone. Sirius was there, watching. He knew that now. He smiled.

Daydream - Miru

~ Member of the FIVE TRIPLETS of Hellville ~ 'Ho of Babylon ~ Daughter of Beelzebub ~ President Evil ~ Temptress ~

~ The clones Evra/Ginny ~ Ginnypants ~ Immeritus foster sister and mother ~ death by parenthesis ~

Yay for Afrikaans covers and titles! (((((Evvy))))) Just 2 more sleeps?! Woot!

Right, so I have a lot of catching up to do with the tables, but I'll need to do it tomorrow evening. Don't let that stop your digging, though, friends!
