More Harry Potter hebrew Hijinks...

They actually translated Uncle Vernon saying "dementywhosits" and "Lord Voldiewhatsit."

Not transliterate, translate.

how did they do that in hebrew?

Apparently, "Dementors" in Hebrew is "Soharsanim"

So, "dementywhatsits" translates into "Soharmahshmam" which would, I guess, literally mean "Dementywhat'stheirnames," but it still works.

Similar thing for Voldemort (aka Atah (or At)Yodeia Mi)
