People have been pronouncing this Harry Potter name ALL wrong

It has been nearly a decade and a half since the first Harry Potter movie hit our screens. 

And yet J.K. Rowling dropped a major bomb on fans yesterday when she reminded people of how wrongly they are pronouncing the name of a very important character.

In an interview with Time, the author discussed Harry Potter trivia, and backed up a point made on Twitter: 

Ms Rowling responded accordingly to let all her fans know that yes, indeed, we have been saying Voldemort all wrong. 

Yup, it seems the 't' at the end of Voldemort's name is silent.

It comes from 'mort,' the French word for 'death' which is pronounced with a silent 't.'

This isn't the first time she's had to clarify the point though. In 1999, at a book singing in California, J.K. answered a fan who asked about the correct way to say He Who Shall Not Be Named's name. 

"I say 'Voldemor' but I'm the only one," she told the fan. 

J.K doesn't seem too bothered or hurt about the whole thing, so hey, no harm done.
