I say "roh-EE-nuh" and I think it's great. I've never read any of the HP books so I can't say for sure. But it seems that I should thank the author for making such personal favorites as Hermione, Fleur, Cedric and Minerva known to a whole new generation. The only down-side is that now it's the only reference they have for the names and are thus hesitant to use them.

I say rely on the history of the name Rowena. Dont' worry about HP. Rowena is one of the heroines in "Ivanhoe," afterall. I think the name would age beautifully.
