srgalactica1982:
I've been with this group for a bit, but haven't posted anything
until now. I read a JKR interview where she specifically said
that 'Voldemort' was pronounced with a silent 't'. I often wonder how much the movie producers discussed with JKR on pronounciations.

srgalactica1982:
Yes. I too, cringe everytime I hear Voldy's 'crucio' on Harry. It
just sounds so weird.
