Her-mine-e

I'm seeing like "Her-my-oh-knee" online. Can someone (a giant nerd) tell me which is correct?

[star seed 7]

I dunno, I've only seen the movies and have bad ears so that's what I hear

[Stupid Fitz]

Finished Earnhardt Nation. It was pretty amaze. Those old racer guys were badasses. really enjoyed it without knowing a thing about race car driving.  Started Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat to up my cooking skills. Pretty decent so far.

CF3 i forgot to ask, do you read in various british accents? if so it's

[mocat]

unless it's Hagrid, in which case you say it in a pirate cornwall accent:

No I can't do British accents well enough. Also whenever there is a song I sing it in the tune of Gilligan's Island or some other TV theme song. I developed this method while reading the hobbit and it works p well

I googled. Not sure this even helps very much.

Her-my-oh-knee is correct.

I started out mispronouncing it to my kid and got pwn3d talking to Harry Potter nerds irl and then had to convince my son that this was not a new character, but he got over it pretty quick.

I always do a crazy accent for Hagrid and it is pretty fun.

Definitely her-my-nee (her-mine-e)

You're missing a syllable and frankly it's embarrassing that you can't tell

[SdK]

Her mya knee is what I hear

[star seed 7]

Neither can jk Rowling apparently

[chum1]

To me, it looks like it should sorta rhyme with sirloin.

[chum1]

This whole weird name thing is more than enough to make me never want to read Harry Potter books.

[The Big Train]

When I read the books I said it differently every time in my head and when I heard the movie I was way off

Your ears don't work properly

I'm not crazy about really old + really long either.

i'm glad you're consistent. Hermione is the daughter of King Menelaus & Helen of Troy. what a family of weird names!

[Cartierfor3]

My only complaint about names so far in HP & TSS is that Hedwig/Hagrid are too similar and Mrs Norris is a really dumb name for a cat.

[Cartierfor3]

And nerds, please don't be like "oh but when you find out why Mrs. Norris is named that in book 4 its sooooo awesome" because its still a dumb cat name. Cats should be named whiskers or boots or cat bosco etc.
