Random I Suppose

[noahismyidol.livejournal.com]

Well, after a fun day of being sunburnt, getting hit with beads, being slightly tipsy around other drunks, and eating some chicken(ha, yay for Mardi Gras!), I was wandering around my room and picked up my Harry Potter book, but erm, it's called Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis. Which is Harry Potter and the Philsopher's Stone in Latin(nerd nerd I know!). Anyway, as I was attempting to read somethings, I realized how funny somethings sound when pronounced in Latin(besides the fact that it's named Harrius). For example, crucio would be pronounced Kru-kio, avada kadavra is pronounced awada ka-da-wra(v's sound like W's in latin), etc. Maybe it's just me, but it makes me laugh. Awada Kadawra sounds like baby talk. Of course I think everything sounds funny in Latin. Here's a random sentence from the book, 'tu non es a Mugglibus ortus. Lmao, Mugglibus. I love how Latin changes names, besides Mugglibus, there's Gryffindorensium, Silvius, and Slytherinos to name a few. On the cover of the book, it has a picture of Harry and the Hogwarts Express and it says Hamaxostichus Rapidus Hogvartensis. Haha. Sorry if this is not interesting at all to others, but I do believe my fellow 'claws will appreciate it.

Ahahaha, I have that too! I've never taken Latin though, so mostly it's for novelty, which kind of sucks.

So, where in the world do you get a copy of the book in latin?

sweet.

i think i may be the only one who still reads in english

[nyreak.livejournal.com]

Nope, I read it in English. Or, should I say 'American English', since it is actually altered some from the actual English version?

Slytherino. Hee.

[meidinhell.livejournal.com]

Haha, omg. That's awesome. :D Is Quidditch still Quidditch in Latin?

[noahismyidol.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen it changed yet, so I dunno. =D Quaffle isn't changed either...

Wait, "v" is prnounced like a "w"?

Oh my god...Sewerus. Sewerus Snape. I'm sure that would provide many countless hours of juvenile hilarity for MWPP...

I'm having "Life of Brian" flashbacks: "Wewease Wodewick! Awe they waughing at me, Biggus? Biggus, awe they waughing at me?!"

[noahismyidol.livejournal.com]

Haha and it's like pronounced Snape either, it would be Sna(a as in Ah) - Pe(like a normal vowel A). And it took me forever to realize that Oliver Silvius is Oliver Wood...

[guenevere.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that's right :) Sewerus Snap-pe. Charming. Sounds vaguely like a long-forgotten (wonder why) amateur Italian opera...

Hehehe, thats cool. Mugglibus...thats just great! I have a couple of Prisoner of Azkaban in Spanish at home. I got it to be able to know Spanish better, since I know that book by heart.

[noahismyidol.livejournal.com]

Ahh yeah, I'm from Metairie!! =D I go to Loyola. Where are you from?

[imabrandybuck.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'm from Lafayette and I got UL Lafayette. Hah.

[noahismyidol.livejournal.com]

Ohh I know two people that go to ULL, Russell Aiola and Kerry...something lol starts with a B...i think. Ever happen to run into them?

[imabrandybuck.livejournal.com]

Ah, I don't think so, sorry! There's so many people that come here. And I don't know anybody with those names either. So probably not. =p

[noahismyidol.livejournal.com]

Ha yeah, it is a pretty big school.
