Hi All,
<Christine>
At the Scholastic Harry Potter website, they have a pronunciation guide.
I found that I was pronouncing a whole lot of stuff wrong.

What a great link. I had more right than I was expecting, though there
were some surprises (Rubeus, Dedalus, Animagus, Accio). It also helped
with one I've been falling over each time I read it out: Legilimency
La-JILL-a-men-see (it seems so obvious now). But the two best are the
proper American voice sounding the word "bogey", which brought out the
schoolboy giggles in me, and their fantastic pronunciation of Voldemort.
Cheers,
Dumbledad.
