The Chinese word "霍格沃茨" is formed through phonetic transliteration, where each character is selected to approximate the sounds of the English word "Hogwarts": "霍" (huò) corresponds to "Ho", "格" (gé) to "g", "沃" (wò) to "war", and "茨" (cí) to "ts", with the characters serving primarily as sound-based equivalents without semantic connection to the original term.
