Rowling has been tweeting up a storm lately about the lives of Harry Potter characters post-books and movies. Read more about that here.
Now this: Voldemort, which translates to "flight of death" in French, should not be pronounced with an audible "t" at the end.
It started with a tweet from a Twitter user about how to properly pronounce Voldemort, noting Rowling has discussed pronunciation before.
