This fixes a mistake in Book One, where the Mainland translator translated Godric's Hollow as 高锥克山谷 Gāozhuīkè Shāngǔ, a complete rip-off of the Taiwanese translation. See Place names and Disastrous translations. To mark this change in naming, the Mainland translator is even forced to add a footnote.
The Mainland Chinese translator is not the only one to change names. Earlier in the books, the Vietnamese translator rendered Godric's Hollow as Hố Thần.
