J. K. Rowling Confirms A Hermione Theory We Suspected All Along Bookworm: Fans of Greco-Roman mythology would know that Hermione Granger is named after King Menelaus' and Helen of Troy's only daughter, Hermione. People who have heard of celebrities with the same name, such as Hermione Baddeley, would also know how to pronounce her name. I mispronounced Hermione's name when I read the first Harry Potter book. But I learned the correct pronunciation when I watched the film adaptation; if I had looked up how to pronounce Hermione Baddeley's name after I watched The Aristocats and The Secret Of NIMH then I would have pronounced Hermione's name right the first time.

I remember having an actual moment when I realized it wasn't (Her - Me - Own. I felt like my devout life as a fan until then was a lie. Totally a great move by Rowling to set the record straight without taking away from the narrative and getting everyone on the same page with such an important character. Long live the Queen!

At the battle of Hogwarts Harry Potter was a person who had all three of the deathly hallows
The cloak of invisibility belong to him then the elder wand was his and in the end he also got the resurrection stone which made him the master of death
Which is why he was able to survive Voldemort killing him

It would be helpful if you could pronounce Rowling right. If you live in Britain, you would know it is pronounced Hermione because we have so many people called Hermione. The only people who cant pronounce it are Americans. But, from this video, we can see you cant pronounce a lot of things.

Does anyone have that odd scenario where they hear a name they have NEVER heard before? And all of a sudden you start meeting people with that name. Like with Hermione, I thought it was a very unique name. Until I saw a waitress who had the same name. To which I thought Uh, the more you know.

What? I was expecting an actual theory. I always pronounced her name right. Do these people even know what a theory is? I was expecting an actual theory about Hermione's parents or something, but nope. Just telling people how to correctly say Hermione over and over.

I suppose I was born at a time when this name was still in use and had not favor of girl being given this name at birth. And perhaps seeing many old movies made in the UK, where names of the late 19th early 20th century were used for characters then.

This was confirmed 20 years ago in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a whole year before the first movie came out.
Theres a part where Viktor Krum keeps pronouncing Hermiones name wrong, so she tries to break it down for him: Her-my-oh-nee.

First off, this isn't a theory. It's a name pronunciation. Second of all, she confirmed this shortly after Book 4 came out. The theorizer simply wasn't paying attention the first time and is now receiving all the credit because why not?
