What words do you think they pronounced wrong in the films?
I always said Accio like assio. But in the film they said Akkio??? |
most of the 'spells' have their roots in Latin.
It follows the rules of latin pronounciation.
the 'c' is always 'hard' - never 's'

Although if you follow 'religious latin'
Ecclesiastical Latin
the rules for 'c' are a bit more complicated.
I did assume 'accio' = 'at-chi-oh'
However, I had no idea how to pronounce Hermione though.
it looked like 'Her- mi - own' or 'Her-mi-won'. I certainly did not count on 'Her-Mi-on-knee'
