Abstract

This paper aims to discuss how and why the characters’ names as well as the creature’s names were translated on the Harry Potter book series. To this end we will use the first book of the series: “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling, since it is the only one that has two different titles in English, and besides it is the first book. We will also use as a theoretical approach the articles by Germana de Souza et al. and by Dalila Lopez that talks about the first names translation. Our research has a quantitative method and so we are going to analyze eight tables containing 38 names and 17 chapter titles in English and translated.
