(CBS 8/CNN) - Harry Potter has millions of fans worldwide and author J.K. Rowling just dropped a tidbit that may blow their minds off the face of Hogwarts.
She revealed the correct pronunciation of the main villain 'Voldemort' in a tweet to her followers.
Rowling says the "T" in Voldemort is actually silent as in "Volde-MORE" similar to the French word for "dead".
Her tweet read "...I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who pronounces it that way."
It elicited a huge reaction from her fans on social media with most wondering why the pronunciation wasn't correctly established in the movie versions of her famous books.
