+515 When you read Harry Potter before any of the movies came out, figuring out how to pronounce "Hermione" correctly was a real bitch. Amirite?

in the fourth book it tells you how to pronounce it as hermione instructs viktor krum on his pronunciation... this is when i figured it out.

I always knew...cause I'm a badass. Also cause I actually knew a girl named Hermione before I started reading them.

I thought it was Herm-ee-oh-knee. In the chapter when theyre on the train and she's looking for the frog, i was like "eh whatever it's not gonna be that important later on"

i always thought it was her-me-own until the movies came out xD

It sounds like that in french

Me and my sister bet in who pronounced it right. We were both wrong... I said it was 'Herme-on-eee" She said it was "Her-mi-knee" I'll admit she was closer, but we agreed we were both wrong.

The way your sister said it is the way Hagrid says it in the movies.

He's got a west country accent, they say most things slightly odd.

In Greek, we write words exactly how they're pronounced. I feel badass for not having problems with it. 8D ... But it's true that I was confused about the English pronouncation

I also had a hard time with Gryffindor and Slytherin. but I was in the 4th grade so I guess it's okay

I could never pronounce Accio, Beauxbatons, or Thestrals. i got a little dyslexic with thestrals and pronounced it "threstrals" and always got tongue-tied

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I always pronounced Beauxbatons "Be-ox-batons"

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i always pronounced it "bwax-batons" haha i knew it wasn't right, but i couldn't figure out the correct way to say it

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I just asked my footballer friend to read and pronounce "Beuaxbatons"...about twelve seconds later, he said "Box-bat-uhns." Hahaha.

My sister read the books out loud to me and absolutely butchered all of the pronunciations. She said threshals or something...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

my friends and i got into arguments about how to say Accio correctly

by Anonymous 13 years ago
