Yes, it is "Her-my-oh-nee" but the "oh" sound is more of a schwa
(did I spell that right?) So it's more of a "Her-my-uh-nee" with the
accent on the "my". There was an actress named Hermione Gingold who
I remember from the original cast of "A Little Night Music" - she was
fabulous. Anyway, that's how I know how the name is pronounced. And if
you listen very closely to Jim Dale on the tapes and CDs, that is how
he is also pronouncing it. (My goodness, I was rather wordy!)
