You'll get your revenge by heading up the Pronunciation Police.
Those who have only read them and never heard them have only their
own imaginations (as opposed to Fry's/Dale's, also flawed) as
pronunciation guides. One day we're all going to meet at a
convention and then we're going to find out who pronounces Voldemort,
Cadogan, Bartemius, Animagus etc., correctly (i.e., the same way we
do).
