Glad you made it through the jams Penny.

>It sounds like JKR uses the same pronounciation as Jim Dale from
listening to Nick's voice clip.

For newbies and anyone who missed it... the voice clips are at:

>This was surprising to me, since I'd read some interview transcript
with her where she'd said it should be pronounced Her-my-oh-knee.

Her-my-ohnee perhaps.

>And, maybe that's what she's doing but it sounds like 3 syllables if
she's running the my-oh syllables together.

This is a tricky one isn't it... maybe I need to play with the audio
editing software to see if the voice can be slowed down.

Nick.
