Pronunciation

[GulPlum]

No: HPFGUIDX 52540

Something Kathryn said earlier about Gillyweed has prompted me to ask a 
question I've been wondering about for a while.

I had a conversation about this in another forum some time ago, and was 
surprised to learn that different people pronounce "Animagus" in different 
ways.
(the divide was mainly along European/North American lines, further 
sub-divided by those who have and haven't heard either audiobook version of 
PoA).

As far as I'm concerned, there is only one possible valid pronunciation, so 
I wondered what HPFGUers thought.

So, is it Ani(MAH)gus, Ani(MAY)gus, An(EYE)(MAY)gus, or something else?
(in the absence of the phonetic alphabet, I hope the above choices make sense)
