Harry Potter: Pronounciation Help
I was arguing with Yvonne last night about this and I've just been doing the same in the pub with people.
How do you pronounce Sirius Black?
They say (including Y) it's Ciri (like *our* Ciriano) Us - 'Ciri-us'
I say it's 'Sir-eye-us'.
Who is right?

Well, I'm not a HP fan and I haven't seen the films but 'Sirius' is the name of a star and it is pronounced as seer-ee-us and certainly not sir-eye-us.
Don't know if that helped much.

i always got confused and just stuck with pronouncing it "Si-rus" (SI like SI-mon) it just made it easier for me to stick to that.

isn't the character in any of the films? if so why not just listen to how his names pronounced there. Also just did a check, its the name of a star and the star is pronounced Sir"i*us

She was also supposed to find out what the phrase "You could freeze ice off his wife's ass" from Pretty Woman meant... she'll probably resort to a thread for that too 
{EDIT} Oh, and I say its Si-ree-us

So, Teresa, I guess this thread proves you were wrong then
