Is it because no one could pronounce it properly? I heard two men scoffing at a couple of kids, the other day, because they were pronouncing 'Voldemort' with a pronounced T on the end. 'When, clearly, Biff,' one man said, 'it's obviously Voldemor.'  |
Pretty sure it was originally intended to be said without the "T". I read that somewhere. On the internet. So it must be real.  |
That's true. When JK Rowling was working as a teacher (in France, I believe), her students had difficulty with her name - it's pronounced Rolling. So she wanted Voldemort to have as difficult to pronounce a name, so made the T silent. Unfortunately, she never made this clear in the novels, so it's something that people sometimes get confused by. And you've now read this on the internet, too, so this is true, too!

Reminds me of how no one can agree on how to say "accio". Ok, turning my nerd switch off now. Hey, did the EUC get a cake for its birthday? It needs a cake.
