Fleur was a talented and able witch, which was shown by her selection as the Beauxbatons Champion by the Goblet of Fire. Though circumstances in the Tournament conspired against her, as she was unable to fully showcase her talents, [28] she proved her magical skill, by her participation and survival in subsequent battles. You’ll hear different accents: Have you ever thought you had a pretty good grasp of French comprehension, only to hear an unfamiliar pronunciation that was totally lost on you?

Beauxbatons is pictured in the films as an all-girls school, which is directly contrasted in the novel. At least four boys are in attendance in the book and Davet Dumont, Nicholas Flamel, Luc Millefeuille and Vincent Duc de Trefle-Picques were students in earlier decades, showing it is a co-educational establishment. It was likely intended in the films as a contrast to the students of Durmstrang, who, in the film, are all male. There are two versions of this audiobook available on Book d’Oreille, as linked above. I prefer the one by Alain Lawrence, because his speech is very accessible to the French language learner. Beauxbatons is incorrectly pronounced by Dumbledore as boh-BAT-tons. This appears to be an error of pronunciation on Dumbledore's behalf, seeing as the French students pronounce it correctly.

The Burrow where the Weasleys live. This is particularly great since a terrier is a small dog… So, in English, the translation would indicate that Ron lives at a terrier (or is it in a terrier?). 12. Fourchelang The entrance of the all female students into the Great Hall in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) At the Palace of Beauxbatons, they had ice sculptures all around the Dining Chamber at Christmas.

Every day of those two months would be spent translating J. K.

They were married on 1 August, 1997, the same day that the Ministry of Magic fell to Lord Voldemort.

Some of the most conservative fans in Latin America and Mexico prefer to name the sixth book "Harry Potter y el Príncipe Media-Sangre", a literal translation of Half-Blood Prince.) The characters become an exotic mix of French and English names, with Dumbledore, Harry, Hermione and Ron remaining unchanged, but now finding themselves sharing classrooms with Neville Londubat ('long-du-bas', or 'long-in-the-bottom'), Severus Rogue (‘haughty’), and Olivier Dubois, who has to be repatriated from his original identity as Oliver Wood to accommodate a gag about Professor McGonagall needing to 'borrow Wood', which Harry misunderstands as an implement for punishment. Some are quite different, presumably because literal translations of Hogwarts ('verrues de porc') and Ravenclaw ('serre de corbeau') are not as mellifluous, or as funny-sounding, in French as in English.
