Actually, the Lestrange one does make sense. The french tone fits
with the motto on the Black tapestry ("Toujours pur"). Though I've
always pronounced it le-strainje (like the word "strange").
However, I still don't accept their pronounciation of "Animagus".
Animagi is fair and understandable ('i' after 'g' makes it sound
like 'j'), but how on earth did they make Animagus sound like An-i-
MAYJ'us?! An-i-mah-goose sounds better to me...
Am I the only one who thought Knuts should be pronounced like 'nuts'?
