HelpRe: Seamus
in reply to a message by Perrine
It's okay. It seems a little bland to me, and I don't like how it sounds like the word "shame," but that doesn't bother me too much.
I do feel like a lot more people will know how to pronounce it due to Harry Potter. I had never heard of it before, so when reading the books my family and I pronounced it "SEE-mus" until the movies came out :)
we all share the same sky - the maine

I also said See-mus the first time I read HP. (At least I didn't say herm-i-own :P)

Same here regarding Seamus, and guilty of saying herm-ee-on when I read the books as a kid as that's how the name would be pronounced in my native language. When the fourth book came out I picked up on my mistake...
Interestingly, the dubs for the films and the video games all use the herm-ee-on pronunciation, but Seamus is pronounced correctly and so is Snape (which should be pronounced snahp if they kept consistency).
