[Sca-cooks] OT: Harry Potter

Well, I know that in Poland, I think, Peanuts was changed to Radishes as
there is/was no word for Peanuts when the comic went worldwide.  Saw an
interview with C Shultz.  He was a cool guy!

Well, we met a Hungarian girl who was also a great HP fan.  We discovered,
from reading her T-shirt, that in Hungarian "Hogwarts Schools" is something
like "Rocksford School".  I thought maybe Hogwarts meant somethng rude in
Hungarian, so I asked a friend who is fluent in it, but she said no, neither
word means anything, so she has no idea why they changed it.
We also determined that Slytherin house is called Draco in Hungarian.  No
idea if they changed Draco Malfoy's name or not.
