Again, Harry Potter books had fans fighting and clawing at each other after J.K Rowling revealed that the 't' is silent in Voldemort.

J. K Rowling said that everyone has been saying Voldemort's name wrong as the 't' at the end of the dark wizard's name is actually supposed to be silent.

The argument started when twitter user Michael Lucero messaged Rowling to say that he thinks the 't' is silent in voldemort.

Rowling confirmed that the French-style pronunciation is correct, though added: '...but I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who pronounces it that way.'

Intriguingly some people pointed out that in the first two audio books, released before the first film came out, narrator Jim Jules didn't use the 't' before adopting it later.

Another annoyed fan, going under the twitter handle of Erika R, added: 'Why not have them say it that way in the movies?'

Obviously furious, Twitter user Casey Hill wrote: 'That they didn't fix this in the movies is a load of b******t with a silent "t."'
