What's In a Name?
Garrick?
His name is Garrick?
Garrick Ollivander.
Huh. This is what I get for not being on Pottermore.
Seriously, Garrick? That seems so... so modern, so "Eric" plus ..."Gary." So modern! But JKR knows best, she always knows best... So what does it mean? It's Germanic... So I guess he's neither Dutch nor Greek nor good red herring... it means "Spear Power"?
So, what, he's a great warrior beneath his meek bookwormy pers
OH MY GOD SPEAR = WAND, OF COURSE IT'S ALL THERE
I should have seen it coming it's so brilliant oh my god JK Rowling brilliant!
Servaas, what was I thinking, Servaas? I should have at least stuck to Socrates, what the heck was with Servaas? Where did I get the idea that they were Dutch?
... Oh, right. Olli Van Derr. ... Duuurrrr.
(I don't normally use that term, but I couldn't resist.)
Honestly, when I just found out on the HP Wiki that he has a First Name, I kind of lost it. I began to flail and flail wildly. This is so shocking. I need time to recover.
The day that I actually read his biography is going to be epic.
