Latin translation of Harry Potter lacks Latin names. I was very unhappy because every other version of Harry Potter translates them. So I came up with these three:

Hogwarts - Porcivellae (porcus = hog, verruca = wart; smushed together)

Hogsmeade - Porcimella (porcus = hog, mel = honey; plural seemed like a better option)

Ravenclaw - Corvicornus (corvus = raven, cornu = (rare) bill of a bird; sounds nice)

Please continue, someone.

It's Harry Potter in Latin! Finally my useless language isn't useless anymore!

Dominus et Domina Dursley, qui vivebant in aedibus Gestationis Ligustrorum numero quattuor signatis, non sine superbia dicebant se ratione ordinaria vivendi uti neque se paenitere illius rationis. in toto orbe terrarum vix credas quemquam esse minus deditum rebus novis et arcanis, quod ineptias tales omnino spernebant.

Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis, caput primum: Puer Qui Vixit

Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.

‘Hagrid,’ inquit Harrius, paulum anhelans et currens ut cursum aequaret, ‘an dixisti dracones adesse in argentaria Gringotts?’ ‘sic fama est,’ inquit Hagrid. ‘edepol, utinam draconem haberem!’

placet nobis te certiorem facere locum tibi assignatum esse in Schola Hogvartensi Artium Magicarum et Fascinationis. cum hac epistula indicem mittimus librorum et apparatus quibus tibi opus erit. schola aperietur Kalendis Septembribus. strigem tuam exspectamus non serius quam Pridie Kalendas Augustas.

‘die Solis non advenit tabellarius,’ laetus eos admonuit, liquamine malosinensi acta diurna oblinens. ‘hodie nullae redentur epistulae istae damnabiles—’

Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis, caput tertium: Epistulae ab nullo missae

‘No post on Sundays,’ he reminded them happily as he spread marmalade on his newspapers, ‘no damn letters today—’

si modo petasus mentionem fecisset domus idoneae ad homines aliquid nauseantes, ea Harrio aptissima fuisset.

Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis, caput septimum: Petasus Distribuens

“If only the hat had mentioned a house for people who felt a bit quaesy, that would have been the one for him.”

I'm so happy that I finally have this book and I've been reading a lot of it and I'm always really looking forward to reading it instead of being on my phone and it's such a good feeling. (Although I don't understand half of what's going on most of the time haha, but that makes me even more proud when I understand something) My goal is to read the whole Harry Potter series in Latin, French and Italian.
