Anne says,
"So far Rita hasn't given us any indication 
that she has even a tiny bit of integrity, AND she seems to be in the 
pocket of the MOM,"

I ask,
How is Rita in the Ministry's pocket?  Doesn't Arthur himself complain about how she loves to make TROUBLE for the ministry?  I tend to doubt they'd pay her to do that.  

Amanda says,
"I have always thought of it as puh-TRONE-us. 
Lucius==lew-shus...same for me until I saw CoS
Basilisk=ºss-i-lisk...I am American so maybe that is it

As for Accio..I say AK-see-o..All the websites I have visited say it 
is ah-see-oh....I don't like that way...lol

One more here...Cruciatus...I say Cru-she-atus...Cruccio...I say Cru-
she-oh...Probably wrong again..but we will have to wait until GoF for 
that one..."

I say,
Patronus: pay-TROW-noos
Lucius: lew-shee-us
Accio: ah-chi-oh
crucio: crew-chi-oh
cruciatus: crew-chi-ah-tus
knuts:  nuts
Goodbye:  gud-bYe.
