[HPFGU-Movie] Voldermort??

[charober at sympatico.ca]

>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.
