Pronouncing Hermione
J.K. Rowling was constantly asked about how to pronounce Hermione’s name, so she decided to add a scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire that finally explained it. In the book, the character of Viktor Krum directly asks her how to pronounce her name, and though he struggles, the readers finally got a straight answer about it.
