I have also noticed this difference!  :)  I liked the previous 
pronunciations a bit better.  Did you also notice that in GoF, 
Alastor Moody was pronounced A-last-or, and now it is Alas-tor.
I do think that the movies have infiltrated these pronunciations... 
especially in the case of Voldemore vs. Voldemort.
