This is the only topic I have an popinion on so I
snipped everything else.  When I read the story to my
kids I pronounce it thus "Na-gi-nie".  Going to the
Harry Potter Pronounciation guide (
http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/books/pronunciation/play.htm
) it says it is pronounced "nag-EEN-ee". So I guess
you wouls have it pretty right if not completely
correct.
