So it turns out we’ve been saying Lord Voldemort’s name wrong all these years.
JK Rowling has revealed that she meant for the ‘t’ to be silent and that she she’s the only person who pronounces it correctly.
@Universe_Box One piece of Harry Potter trivia I always forget to mention: the “t” is silent in Voldemort, according to @jk_rowling.

… but I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who pronounces it that way. https://t.co/HxhJ5XY5HP — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) September 9, 2015
We’re not really sure how we feel about this – we always thought the ‘t’ made him sound more sinister.
