There are a great many comparisons between Harry and the legend of king Arthur, a young man destined for greatness raised as a commoner unaware of his heritage, mentored by a wise and powerful wizard (merlin/Dumbledore) has a small group of loyal allies (Knights of the round table/Dumbledores army) with a destiny to defeat a powerful evil (Morgan LeFey/Voldemort), even pulling a legendary sword from an object because he was worthy (stone/hat) and even marries a woman call Ginevra/Guinevere

Another meaning of Umbrige’s first name is that “dolor” is Spanish for “pain” with”dolores” being the plural. This goes with how she causes immense pain to countless people, both physically and emotionally Edit: after checking a translator, the same also holds true for Latin

She was supposedly "experimenting" with her magical research, which led to her early demise. I've always wondered what she was doing that could end so terribly... Maybe researching dark magics used by death eaters/Voldemort in order to help Dumbledore? Or she was able to get her hands on a horcrux? Or it was entirely unrelated to the main story, and she could have simply been a brilliant woman who flew too close to the sun.

In the Dutch translation, some of the names are also genius puns: Dumbledore is Perkamentus (Perkament = parchment) McGonagall is Anderling, “ander” meaning someone else, refering to McGonagall being an Animagus Trelawney is Zwamdrift, “zwam”means mushroom or bullshitting, and drift means to want something very much. Here name literally means “wants to talk bullshit” 😂 Hermione’s name is Hermelien Griffel, a griffel is a stylus or pencil, and the phrase “tien met een griffel” (an A with a stylus) means to ace a test Weasley is Wemel in Dutch. “Wemelen” means that it’s very crowded somewhere, tying in to the fact there’s many Weasleys. Scrimgeour is Schobbejak, which means lowly criminal Stan Shunpike is Sjaak Stuurman (stuur = to steer/drive and man is well… man) so he’s a driving man… McNair is Vleeschouwer, wich combined “vlees” (meat) with “houwer” (cutter), making his name mean “meat cutter” since he’s Buckbeak’s executionist. Tom Riddle is Marten Viliin (I know, very different, but otherwise the anagram did not work). The word “vilein” (pronounced the same as “vilijn” means cunning and villainous, and is therefore also a pun. There’s many more examples of punny names in the Dutch translation (all of the names got Dutchified (except for Harry Potter), but these were the best ones.

Katniss - Derived from the botanical name for the arrowhead plant, Sagittaria, which means archer or hunter; Katniss hunts to feed her family, being adept with archery. (The article I learned this from actually had MovieFlames video embedded.) Peeta - A homophone for "pita," which is a type of bread; Peeta came from a family of bakers. Primrose - A flower that has medicinal uses; Prim becomes a young medic later in the series. Panem - Taken from "panem et circenses," a Roman term that translates to "bread and circuses(or games)," which refers to gaining public approval through cheap methods that are meant to distract people from issues rather than put in the effort to fix anything; the Hunger Games have become a sort of sporting event for the districts, despite having originally been a punishment in light of district thirteen's failed rebellion.

"Draconian" was actually named after the Greek lawmaker Draco, who made nearly any crime in Athens punishable by death. To be honest, that interpretation is more Umbridge's domain.

Guy Fawkes is also held in New Zealand, although being able to buy fireworks is being made impossible by the government and trying to stick to public displays is suggested. This is because of animals being affected, stupidity when lighting them resulting in serious injuries. Although the British colonised New Zealand, I don’t see why we should celebrate guy fawkes when it happened in another country over 200 years ago - it’s also a waste of money - really expensive to buy them
