J.K. Rowling Says Muggles Have Been Pronouncing "Voldemort" Wrong This Whole Time

J.K. Rowling Says Muggles Have Been Pronouncing "Voldemort" Wrong This Whole Time,He Who Must Not Be Named" is now aswell "He Whose Name Has Been Arresting Wrong."

So says Harry Potter columnist J.K. Rowling -- which, incidentally, rhymes with "bowling" -- about the accentuation of Lord Voldemort, the blockbuster series' awful villain.The affray (pronounced "fray-cuss," according to Merriam-Webster, admitting the British accent it "fra-cah") began quietly, with a cheep from Potter fan Michael Lucero.

In commenting to addition tweeter, he offhandedly observed, "One section of Harry Potter trivia I consistently overlook to mention: the "t" is bashful in Voldemort, according to @jk_rowling."You'd anticipate Rowling would accept abounding in the films' performers, accustomed that she formed carefully with some to action hints area the artifice was going.)

So how will that aftereffect the blow of the gang? Is it "Al-boo Dumbledor-AY"? "Salazar SLIE-therin"? "Gilde-WAH Lockhart"?

One fan said that even the hero's name has been afield announced all these years.
