[Opinions] this is OT a bit..
...but on the subject of people knowing how to pronounce Hermione - J.K. Rowling once said that her favourite mispronouncement of the name that she's heard from a fan is 'HER-me-wun' (as in the number one at the end). lol I think that's quite funny.

I used to know a girl at school (she was extremely strange in many ways) who absolutely INSISTED that the correct pronounciation of Herione was 'her-me-wun,' and that everyone else, including J.K Rowling, had got it wrong!

When I first began reading the books, I pronounced it "HER-mee-own."
I like it a lot better now that I know how it is actually pronounced. Actually, I really love the name. Hopefully it won't remain forever connected with Harry Potter.
