      Misremembering Madagascar as being in "West Africa" Confusing the Malagasy language with the divination practice of Sikidy Misspelling Sikidy "Sidiki" And then thinking one aspect of the sign was the sign's whole meaning

      It's just... really fucking lazy and disrespectful It would not be a big deal -- it would be depressingly par for the course -- if it were just some random fantasy book But of course it's a big deal now because the books became a big deal And she never raised her standards

      This is the same shitty level of research she put into bloviating about skinwalkers in Navajo culture or naga in Hindu culture Hell, it's the same shitty level of research she put into talking about boggarts and brownies and other elements of *English* culture

      This is what I mean when I say she's not just a bad writer and a bigoted person but profoundly lazy Her worldview is shaped by this amazingly self-confident willingness to just glance at something once or twice and be sure she understands as much of it as she needs to

      Was there ever any need to go back and look up what "Alohomora" meant? Nah Was there ever any worry that someone from the culture she was shamelessly lifting from might be offended or take issue with her? Nah Just plow on ahead, Jo, let your imagination be your compass

      Lol no it doesn't There's no way JKR picked the name for this reason, there's no way she did any research at all, if she did someone would have told her it's not a fucking name

      Anyway Cho Chang is *not* a melancholy character when she's introduced, she has pretty much no characterization at all other than being the unattainable hot girl until after Cedric dies in Order of the Phoenix

      The Chinese transition of Harry Potter does not go with the "melancholy" thing because it's ridiculous They try to salvage it by making her name Zhang Qiu (張秋) which is a... very unusual name (it's two surnames, like being named "Smith Johnson") but better than nothing

          Also while we're flexing about research here the name "Delacour" means "of the court", "of the heart" would be "du coeur"

          As a someone who doesn't speak Cantonese but has watched a few Cantonese dubbed films, that sounds like a nice name to my European ears Would that character be like a 'taro' (たろ) generic filler, or tragicomedy like Greek classical or Shakespearian?
