Lovely work, but you've spelled his name wrong. It's spelled Draco Malfoy. (Sorry, this is one of my biggest pet peeves)

Thank you very much but in French we say Drago Malefoy and not as Draco Malfoy like in English
And I'm French so I wrote in French

Yeah, but if it's a persons name, that doesn't change just because it's a different language. My name is Mike and it's Mike no matter what language or what country I'm in. You wouldn't change the spelling on your name if you went to England would you? Sorry, but it just bugs me.

I am sorry that it bothers you that I write the name of the character in my French language but in France it wrote like that. My name is Eva and is is written differently depending on the country it doesn't bother me. I am French and in France it is like that, if the order would have been English I would write to the English way but there it is in french and it will remain like that

No worries, you do it your way, but it still looks wrong to me

only for you in this case. in France it is the same for Snape in french it is Rogue same for Neville in french is Longbottom. I think it's damage that you accept not the names in other languages, but it's your choice

No need to be rude and call me damaged. You may not realize that its a grammatical rule that proper names are not to be changed. "Personal names have but one correct spelling." Try looking it up or asking a teacher.

And I am not rude to you, I try to explain that according to the language, words change!

Non vraiment, en plus je ne sais pas trop m'exprimer en anglais et je ne suis pas sur de la traduction de mon traducteur alors vraiment merci, je n'aurai pas mieux expliquer la différence d'écriture dans les diverses langues ! C'est vraiment gentil d'avoir apporté votre aide

In the official translation of "Harry Potter", you can see that:
Draco Malfoy is called "Drago Malefoy"
Neville Longbottom is called "Neville Londubat"
Severus Snape is called "Severus Rogue"
Hogwarts is called "Poudlard"
And many others.
It's just because in french, it's actually a bite difficult to pronounce all these names. We call it "franciser" and we do it all the time.
If your name was "Peter" in France you'd be call "Pierre", same thing with the name "Juan" (in Spain), in France, it'll be "Jean". Know what I mean ?
And you can make search, you'll find it.
So YOU don't be rude with other people. She wasn't mean to you, she was just trying to make you understand something without pretending to be clever than you.
(Also, sorry if I made mistakes, it's 1:50 am...)
Hope I didn't offend you.
We're all potterhead, in the end.

I wasn't trying to be rude and you didn't offend me. All I'm saying is that according to grammar, proper names are not supposed to be changed. That doesn't mean that people don't change them and that it's not accepted world wide, but grammatically speaking, it's incorrect. Personally, if I meet someone named Pierre, Juan, or whatever, I would call him Pierre, Juan, or whatever their name happened to be. To me (and this is only my own opinion), it would be rude to call them another name, even if I did have trouble pronouncing it, unless they specifically told me upon meeting them to call them something different.

I do not have need to ask a teacher or other I have 22 years and I think know enough write in my language that is the french. If it bothers you that I write in my language and not yours it you n not agree that the words could be used differently and I am sorry. It's rewarding to know different so to speak. whatever it is good continuation.

As I said, you do you man. We'll have to agree to disagree.
