If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

There is no philosopher vs sorcerer debate.

Sorcerer's stone just 'sounds cool.' LAME.

'We pronounce all the letters'- tell that to 'herbs'. Also, they really didn't have to transcribe the words to American English- you could just work it out, or research it- we don't get things changed from American books, here, we're just meant to figure out what 'diapers' are and who 'mom' is. It's an English book; things are different in England; rather than changing things to suit your American-centric view of the world, why not just broaden your horizons...

@silverfoxeater But we don't do that anymore, the point is that America is a very closed off country to the rest of the world because of how heavily patriotic they are. The English did invade other countries and there's no denying that but maybe instead of getting defensive and throwing our history back at us, realise that the point of the original comment was to say that Americans need to learn about other cultures, even if it's just through books.

Changing random vocabulary to Americanisms robs the reader of immersion into the story, insults their intelligence, and inhibits their expansion of vocabulary and understanding of another context. I'd be annoyed if an American book had been changed 'for Brits', it's part of the enjoyment and adventure.

@richardmahood7478 6 жыл бұрын

In America, we don't have 'spellotape' to fix everything; we have Duck Tape (nothing to do with birds). There is a saying: If it is supposed to move and doesn't...use WD40 (lubricating spray) and if it moves and isn't supposed to...use Duck Tape. I believe Harry tells Ron he is a right git in GoF. I think git is a good word for the reason you mention.

In the books, Sirius gave Harry a mirror that would let them communicate. In Deathly Hallows, Harry has a shard of the mirror hoping to see Sirius, and sees Aberforth's eyes. In the films, Harry has this shard but Sirius was never shown giving him the mirror so if you didn't read the books, you don't know why Harry has an emotional connection to a bit of glass.

Most women's colleges/universities in America have "houses" for fun little competitions, but just sorted by year. (Mostly because the schools are so small, we never have much in the way of formal sporting/competitive events with other schools, and it's old tradition from the 18th/19th century.) We have colors and each year chooses our mascot/name! My class is green and we're the Sprites.

Fun fact everybody knows already: Voldemort's middle name was changed in all translations of Harry Potter so the reveal of "Tom Marvolo Riddle - I am Lord Voldemort" would work. In German, it is Vorlost, and Voldemort writes "ist Lord Voldemort". I wrote a paper on translating neologisms in Harry Potter last semester and it was so interesting to see what the translators came up with!

Romeo Gåde Detlev Jr. - You can make "Jeg er Voldemort" (I am Voldemort) out of it, but you'll have "åde" to spare from the Danish translation of Riddle to Gåde and it breaks the idea of the entire thing as an anagram. For it to work you'll have to shorten his name to Romeo G. Detlev Jr. xD So no... In Denmark he isn't even named Tom, but Romeo. Which is a considered a rare name in comparison to the more usual Tom. This kind of defeats the purpose of him changing his name in the first place "because there are a lot of Toms" lol. But I guess they kept "gåde" to at least have a connection to the original name, haha.

It’s Been a while since I read the 2nd book translated but I think in Swedish it’s Latin: Ego Sum Voldemort. And Mervolo instead of marvolo or some like that. Fairly sure it’s Ego sum and the added line of Tom explaining it to be latin for... Our translator left a lot of the english in I think when it came to names.

All of my (day) schools also had houses. 2/3 were just named after the colours. My primary school (age 7-11ish) named them after mythological creatures. Red was Dragon, Yellow was Unicorn, Green was Griffin, Blue was Phoenix. I was in the red houses all the way through school. Really more of a Ravenclaw, though. I've also heard of houses being named after planets and all kinds of other things. I now work in different schools and I've seen house systems with five or six houses as well as four. The last one I visited had red, yellow, green, pale blue and purple. Red/yellow/green/blue is pretty standard, though. They do tend to be named after notable people, now. A few schools back, I remember, had a house named Edison.

At both schools I went to, tutor groups were a group of 20-30 (my first school was thirty from the same year, second had linear tutor groups with a mix of all years) with whom you would share a classroom in the morning and after lunch for registration and assembly. My first school didn't have houses, but my second had five named after trees which determined which tutor groups had assembly on which day of the week; it was used sports days and for any other time they needed a way to divide us up, as well as giving us a head of house to oversee things sort of in place of the authority of the headmaster, if need be. So your school calls *those* 'tutor groups'?

As a translation student and a life-long Harry Potter fan I find this topic super interesting, there are a lot of theories of translation that argue changing small details (such as the password to dumbledore’s office) create a translation (or in this case localisation) that is less faithful to the original text because it is not an identical representation as some elements have been changed. However other theorists such as Eugene Nida would argue that for the translation and original texts to be considered as equivalent, the reader of the translation has to have the same relationship to the text as readers of the original text and thus such changes are necessary. I know The Sorcerer’s Stone is just a localisation of The Philosopher’s Stone, but I find it so interesting to compare the differences from a translation point of view 😊 (P.s as a Brit for me it’s always been the philosophers stone )

Some characters might end Voldemort on a glottal stop rather than a prounced T, as this is quite common in some British dialects. The easiest example of a glottal stop to those who don't know what a glottal stop is would be 'Eh Oh' (Teletubby greeting) or 'Uh Oh'. The glottal stop is that sound in the middle of those examples which separate the two vowel sounds.

Interesting, as a non-Native English speaker from Europe I had no idea there were all these little differences between the British and American version of the book. I'm sure that the translations into other languages have much of the same little differences, but you wouldn't know unless you read the original and the translated version. I read them in Dutch in 'my time', back when I still read books that were translated from English (nowadays I always read the original). If I was big enough of a Harry Potter fanatic it would be fun to go back and read them again in English, see how different it is, but unfortunately I'm not quite that dedicated. Maybe one day!
