Re: Harry Potter translation
Dumbledore is named Silencio in the Italian translation possibly because of the “dumb” part (as in mute), Snape is called “Python “ because of the snake association, possibly other characters have different names (I’ve only read the books in English and I think saw one movie dubbed in Italian).
