J.K. Rowling has confirmed that we have been pronouncing "He Who Must Not Be Named" (his real name) Lord Voldemort wrong all this time.Â
The 't' in Voldemort is actually silent.
To be fair, almost everyone in the Harry Potter film universe seemed to pronounce the last letter too as well as Stephen Fry when he narrated the British audio books. So we can't be to blame.Â

Way to drop a bombshell 18 years later J.K. Rowling!!

... but I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who pronounces it that way. https://t.co/HxhJ5XY5HP
