I am soo geeky... Rolling Eyes

Its kinda funny really... Embarassed

I... You see, I started reading harry potter after the first two movies came out and I started reading the third book... Embarassed

Until the third movie came out I always thought you pronounces sirius's name like citrus, like the fruit... Citrus Black... Ok now I'm just getting stupid... Embarassed

Heh, no need to feel stupid! We all have our own weridness Wink

I also didn't start reading the book until I saw the second movie, not b/c I thought it was stupid or anything, I'm just not a big reader. And I thought Sirius name was pronouced "Sy-rus" not "Serious" Laughing

I've experienced that with many of the unique names in different books. Not particularly Sirius, but a lot of others in the fantasy/sci fi genres.

Yeah nothing to feel bad about really. I didn't start reading the series until after movie one...a lot of people did because they just weren't interested yet. But, man is Prisoner of Azkaban a great book and they made it into an awesome movie too. Lupin was cool but Sirius was downright fantastic. My friend thought that Sirius's name was pronounced Seerus...weird but undertsandable.

Citrus? OMG, how cute ... 8) I funnily always pronounced it right, strange really because I pronounced nearly every name in the whole series wrongly ... yay.

I know, I made the same mistake! I also thought Dumbledore's name was spelt "dumblemore!" Laughing

I got book 3, first, from my aunt, and I read in this order: 3,4,1,2. Then I re-read them in the proper order before OoP came out. And after HBP came out, I read the whole series again! Very Happy

I went through all the books, before the movie came out, calling Sirius, "Syrus"; then when I saw the movie, I was like they are pronoucing it wrong!

You're supposed to pronounce Sirius "Serious". It sounds the exact same.
Sir-i-us.

I know, I made a mistake, I meant Syrus, not Serious; but I was thinking Serious, so that is what I wrote
