Several points to make
Tuesday, November 29, 2005
- I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last week. Great movie. I thought it was strange that Hermione said the word “Auror” differently than I did. She stressed the first syllable, the “Au” part, so when I heard her say it, it sounded like “Aura”. I’d always pronounced it by stressing the second syllable, so that it sounds like the name “Aurora”. But then, I thought Hermione was pronounced “Hermy-own” until The Goblet of Fire (the book) came out.
- I’ve tried pronouncing Auror the correct way several times, but I can’t get the hang of it!
- Every time I install Quicktime (which I have to do whenever I upgrade iTunes), I have to disable the Quicktime icon on the system tray. It is so annoying. Why can’t it remember past preferences and stay away from the system tray??
- Alias is going to be cancelled after the end of this season. I’ll be sad to see it end, althought maybe it’s for the best. They’ll have a lot of things to explain by the end of this season!

Haha, I haven’t put thought into that word. I kind of say it like “Orer” if that makes sense haha.

Huh. I’d pronounced Hermione the same way you did, but Auror was never a challenge. Stressing the first syllable just made sense to me.

You both pronounced that the right way, heh. I live near a town called Aurora, so that’s how I got to saying the word Auror the way I did. And you never really know how it’s said until you watch the movie (or maybe listen to the audiobook).
