The Good

Hufflepuff was translated to Lufa-Lufa. 

Original name wouldn’t work/sound good in Portuguese because of how we’d pronounce the letter combinations

A+ silly nonsense name that works well with the language

Uses some of the sounds of the original name

Name changed for a solid, valid reason

10/10

Ravenclaw, became Corvinal

New name hearkens back to the original (corvo is the Portuguese word for raven)

Name changed for a solid, valid reason

10/10

Gryffindor was translated to Grifinória

Gryffindor is pronounceable in Portuguese and doesn’t sound too weird, so change unnecessary imo, but at least the new name is fairly close to the original

7/10

Slytherin was translated as Sonserina

Original name doesn’t quite work in Portuguese, but I think Slideríne would have been better

Though perhaps they were trying to play with snakey S sounds, which I can’t fault them for

8.5/10

Ron became Rony

Yes, it sounds funny in English, but it works well in Poruguese

Could have gone wih a nickname for Ronaldo insead hough.

9/10

Rubeus Hagrid changed to Rúbeo Hagrid

Frankly, I would have thought “Hagrid” needed more of a revamp than “Rubeus” (which could be fixed by turning it into Rúbeus)

I would’ve thought they’d change Hagrid into Rágrid to make his name sound right, but nope

That being said, Rúbeo wasn't an awful choice

6/10

Hedwig became Edwiges

Original name doesn’t work in Portuguese at all. Definitely a change that made sense, and into a name that’s pretty close.

10/10

Dudley became Duda

Yeah, Dudley wouldn’t quite work in Portuguese.

10/10

Dementors turned into Dementadores

Sounds better in Portuguese.

10/10

The Bad

Muggles became Trouxas

Way too negative for no reason. (Trouxa is a really rude way of saying “gullible” or “stupid”)

1/10

The Why

James became Thiago

Whyyyy?! We’re familiar with the name James because of James and the Giant Peach! James is pronounceable in Portuguese! And if you want to use a Portuguese form of James, Jaime sounds a lot closer han Thiago!

Albus became Alvo
