How do you pronounce scrimgeour?

[Cinderbelly]

I am currently reading the last Harry Potter book and this is really bugging me.

I struggled with hermione until I watched the first film (in my head I was reading it as her-me-on-ee) but every time I see the new minister for Magic's name my head reads it differently!
S-crime-gor?
Scrim-ee-gour? (Our like tour and like hour)
Scrim-ger? Both with a hard and soft g!

Please help I am a professional woman in my late thirties and this is driving me nuts!

[Haveacupofcoffee]

I’ve always said something like scrim-jaw in my head

[justmyview]

scrimjer

[ClaraMatilda]

Scrim-jor, with the second syllable as in George.

[LadyRochfordsSpangledGusset]

Scrim-Jurh :) With Jur said like the Jura mountains...

[Singlenotsingle]

Scrim-i-jer

[YessicaHaircut]

Not sure how it’s supposed to be pronounced but in my head it’s scrim-jaw.

[Astrid0208]

Scrim jower, to rhyme with shower. Hopefully someone who paid attention to the films will come along soon!

[BeGoodTanya]

SCRIM-jor for me.

The pronunciation that I seem to alter every time I say it in HP6 (reading it aloud currently to my six year old, who is getting bored ‘with all the kissing’) is Felix Felicis. My Latin is scant, and I’m not sure where the emphasis in ‘felicis’ goes. FEL-ic-is? Fel-IC-is?

[kaytee87]

Scrim jower

^ this too

[Singlenotsingle]

Feleesis. I did Latin but it was a long time ago.

[YerAWizardHarry]

Audiobooks say SCRIM-jer

[PodgeBod]

Scrim-gow-er which is probably really wrong. I also couldnt pronounce Hermione until Krum sounded it out

[Eliza9917]

Scrim-gee-orr

[IWantChocolates]

Scrim-jer.

And felix fell-ee-sis.

[blackteasplease]

I always pronounced it scrim-jaw in my head. But then the films had it s scrim-jer so I guess I had it wrong

But I used to pronounce Draco as Draco rather than drake-o like in the films so what do I know?

[TheGirlWithAllTheFeathers]

Scrim-i-jer
I'm east coast Scottish

[LeekMunchingSheepShagger]

Scrim-jer

[amusedbush]

SCRIM-juhr. I'm Scottish.

[amusedbush]

I also couldnt pronounce Hermione until Krum sounded it out

That's why JK Rowling put that part in the book. Apparently people were calling her Hermy-own!

[wafflyversatile]

My old teacher was scrimjer.

[fussychica]

When the books first came out DS was at primary school and came home to say his teacher was talking about Hermy owne and he had to correct her Bet that went down well

[MinesaPinot]

Scrim-jer

DH always refers to Hermione as Hermy-own, and has done since he read the first book.

[Rumbletum2]

I’m sure I saw a “making of” video somewhere in which Daniel Radcliffe and the other younger cast members were discussing this and they were saying Scrimjer.

[widgetbeana]

Scrim - jer.

Feee licks Fee lee sis

That's how the audiobooks pronounce it.
