The name is pronounced "hoo-lah" in Norwegian.

Tomas Alfredson couldn\’t direct his way out of a wet paper bag. He has the Reverse Midas Touch.

Wow, Droop got up on the wrong side of the bed. Yes, we get that the name is perfectly normal in Norway. However this is not a Norwegian film being announced. It\’s a big budget American film, in which the character will still presumably have the same name, but everyone will be speaking in English, not Norwegian, making the name unintentionally funny. I\’m sorry, there\’s no way around that. There is nothing "arrogant" about finding that name hysterically funny in a film made in English.

first, let me address the arrogant and ignorant, probably american, idiot above, who every time he hears a name that doesn\’t sound like john smith, thinks it sounds weird and labels it "bad". Hole happens to be a common scandinavian name, so is it our fault that you americans are so desperate to harvest the fruits of our labour? nah brah. also, let\’s not give the millennium trilogy all the credit. the genre has been around, and very popular in literature especially, for decades. including the harry hole series.

The book is fantastic. I would much rather see a Norwegian version of this, though.

Can we just address the elephant in the room and label "Harry Hole" as the worst name ever?!!
