Harry Potter fans have been saying Voldemort’s name wrong for all these years

IT’S time to head back to Hogwarts and brush up on your wizarding skills as it turns out you’ve been saying Lord Voldemort’s name all wrong.

Twitter account List25 revealed: “#DidYouKnow Contrary to popular belief, the ‘t’ at the end of Voldemort is silent. The name comes from the French words meaning ‘flight of death’.”

Harry Potter author JK Rowling confirmed the correct pronunciation back in 2015.

Twitter user Michael Lucero had messaged Rowling to saying: “One piece of Harry Potter trivia I always forget to mention: the ‘t’ is silent in Voldemort.”

She replied: “… but I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who pronounces it that way.”

The Harry Potter films are currently being broadcast on ITV and fans are questioning why He Who Must Not Be Named is said with a hard ‘t’.

Casey Hill wrote: “That they didn't fix this in the movies is a load of b******t with a silent ‘t’.”

Intriguingly some people pointed out that in the first two audio books, released before the first film came out, narrator Jim Jules didn't use the 't' before adopting it later.

That perhaps suggests that a deliberate decision was taken by the filmmakers to change how it was pronounced in order not to confuse the audience.
