JK Rowling
J.K. Rowling surprised Harry Potter fans when she revealed earlier this week that most of them have been pronouncing the name of Voldemort – the series’ main antagonist – incorrectly all along.
Potterhead Michael Lucero tweeted out a bit of little-known trivia about the series, claiming that according to Rowling, the “t” at the end of Voldemort is silent. While some may have been dubious about Lucero’s claim, Rowling stepped in to confirm it.
Rowling, who meticulously chose words for spells, creatures and characters in the Harry Potter universe, was duly discerning when it came to naming Harry Potter’s nemesis. Voldemort happens to be a French word, which means “flight of death,” and as pronounced in French, the “t” is silent.
In other Harry Potter news, the spinoff film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is currently filming, with Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne starring in the lead role of Newt Scamander.
