No, she really doesn't, in fact she makes a point of having French-speaking characters speak in an atrocious "French accent" eye-dialect for the sake of her presumed Anglophone audience

Embarrassing. Off the top of my head: Voldemort, Gryffindor, Malfoy, pensieve, Lestrange (family motto: “toujours purs”).

Yeah, so the fuck what That doesn't make using an ACTUAL ENGLISH WORD to mean the OPPOSITE OF WHAT THAT WORD MEANS somehow not a mistake Maybe her knowing the French word is the *explanation* for the mistake, it doesn't make her somehow secretly correct

Also, "Pensieve" isn't French, it's just a pun in English ("pensive" + "sieve") The French translation of Harry Potter doesn't use it, because the word "sieve" isn't what it's called in French (it's called a "tamis") The translator renders it "Pensine"

I thought so too, until the films had Gambon pronounce it the French way.

Except that for the moment it's been replaced with mindless advocacy for the inerrancy of JK Rowling, which is absolutely an improvement

This lady has been coming at me for HOURS for being an ignorant stupid American because I'm not bilingual in French and if I were I'd appreciate the genius of Rowling's writing etc And just now accidentally revealed she doesn't speak a lick of French herself

By the looks of it you’re still rage tweeting in the early hours of the morning. Get some sleep, hun.

Didn't you literally try to correct a Belgian on what a French word meant as though you knew proper French better than they did Despite being an English person who doesn't speak French at all, it turns out That's more embarrassing than my biphasic sleep schedule I think
