It turns out Harry Potter fans have been saying Hermione's name wrong all these years

Harry Potter fans have come out of hiding and confessed they have been pronouncing the smartest witch in the books Hermione Granger’s name wrong.

Hundreds have been commenting on Reddit :

This one isn't so bad...

Published in the year 2000.

Shame on you.
