I'm probably not alone in the Hermione (Her-me-OWN / Her-MY-o-nee) mispronounciation.
In fact, when I had the time to read more novels than I do now (Harry Potter aside ~8-) ), I'd sometimes realize after finishing a book that I never really tried to figure out how to pronounce some characters' names. I'd just engage in a bit of brain-mumbling whenever I came across that name. I'd only realize this when I later spoke to someone about the character. Hmmm, I wonder if there is a phonetic/whole-word-reading equivalence here? -Max On Fri, 14 Dec 2001, Beth Benoit wrote: > Thanks, Tim.
