I don't see how READING Harry Potter would help.
Neither of us have watched Harry Potter

The character phonetically pronounces it in one of the books too.

In this country Ive only ever heard it pronounced her-my-onee but I was at uni with a French girl whopronounced it her-me-own.

The actress from Cold Feet is Hermione too. DH always drools over her.

Her-my-oh-nee

A mother at school has a Hermione and pronounces it Ha-mar-nee. Or should I say screams it at full volume every three minutes. Yuk.
