**Obs:** Diversas dessas palavras ainda não apareceram nos três primeiros volumes da série (que, até então, são os únicos publicados no Brasil), então não se tem uma "tradução oficial". A maneira como tudo se encontra aqui foi traduzida livremente pelo @umbookaholic, com o intuito de tornar esse conteúdo mais acessível para os falantes da língua portuguesa que não possuem domínio do inglês.
