| Nov 18, 2021 at 17:31 | comment | added | Gareth McCaughan | This one isn't as annoying to me as one that goes the other way: in the movies "Pensieve" is pronounced as if it were French, thus destroying the pun on "pensive" (and maybe on "sieve", if you think of a Pensieve as a tool for sifting out what's valuable from your memories). | |

| Nov 18, 2021 at 15:20 | comment | added | Chowlett | Worth noting that, in the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (London production, at any rate), he is pronounced with the T silent. | |
