The problem with reading OotP in one weekend is now I have read the OotP.

Stupid Monday.



Sirius! *sob*


More on the book later. In the meantime two non-spoilery pronunciation questions.

1) Her-mi-o-ne or Her-mi-one

2) Si-rius or Si-i-us

Is it time to go home yet?

And when does the next Harry Potter book come out? I want it now, please.

Per the official pronunciation guide, Hermione is pronounced her-MY-oh-nee, and Sirius is pronounced just like the word "serious."

Dude. You rock. Thank you so much!

Ooh! That means I was right on both counts. Except not - the only way I could get how Hermione was pronounced was when my friend explained that it was kind of like Calliope.

I didn't get it until they spelled it out for me in the fourth book.
