I thoroughly agree. No need to change any of the words. If we can learn to understand "Accio" and "Avada Kedavra" we can learn "crumpet" and "jumper". Seriously.


...It probably comes back to Americans thinking they/we are the center of the universe (e.g. everyone speaks English in shows and movies, we assume everything takes place in one of our major cities, etc.). @_@

I agree about the wording (jeeze, they could have just stuck a Brit-speak glossary at the front if need be), but that "center of the universe" pet peeve is one of my pet peeves. Americans set things in the US, so what. Japan sets things in Japan; France sets things in France; Bollywood sets things in India. It's almost like people take advantage of filming in the locations they already have their equipment in and know the culture of, and don't feel the need to seek out foreigners or multilingual people for something that's not going to enhance the work for most consumers.

I promise I'm not snarking at you, for what it's worth. There's a lot that could be said about American cultural colonialism but that particular aspect is not worth it, I think. (Conversely, I think Americanizing foreign works, such as HP, is actually worse -- they put additional effort and resources to change something, as opposed to being lazy/efficient and filming local. That's been getting better, though!)
