Just a thought......
"Voldemort" - looks French as we know mort = dead. JK uses the French
pronunciation. But....JK went to a muggle school where French lessons
would have been included in the curriculum. As far as I know French
is not taught at Hogwarts therefore it would make sense that people
in the wizarding world would pronounce the name as it is written.
Maybe that's what she meant when she said that she thought she was
the only one using the French pronunciation. Anyway there are some
funny pronunciations going on in the Wizarding World. What about Mr
Weasley's "eckletricity" or Ron's "fellytone".
Does this sound reasonable anyone??
