My thought is that it was originally pronounced the french way, which  
is to not pronounce the last letter (drop the 't'). Mort in french  
means death. Not sure what Volder means? Sounds german to me. If you  
listen to the HP books on tape/CD, the narrator says it the french  
way. Any one know off-hand how JKR pronounces it?
* sigh * I miss my Harry Potter! Was semi-excited about Breaking Dawn  
and pretty psyched for The Hunger Games. But there will never be  
another HP for me.

Happy Holidays, all!

>From what I saw on this special about JKR last night (The Passionate Eye, if anyone has seen it), she has always pronounced it "Vol-deh-morte", pronouncing the T at the end, and it's never been "Volder."  Maybe the accents from some of the actors in the movie may be misleading, particularly Hagrid.

Geoff:
As others have pointed out, it's whether you go for the French or English 
pronunciation; I prefer to sound the 't'.

It's actually Voldemort - no middle 'r'. 'Vol de mort' gives us two meanings
in French depending on context. It can be 'flight of death' or 'thief of death'',.

Looking at Death Eaters and Voldemort's desire for immortality, I would vote 
for the latter, knowing JKR's penchant for word plays.
