I think by the time I got there, I just had it totally stuck in my head the wrong way. Also, it probably didn’t help that I read that whole book in one weekend because the only copy in my house technically “belonged to my brother,” so I had to wait until he went camping.

Different but similar issue… I read the Harry Potter books before the movies came out, and the name “Hermione” was not at all something I had heard of, so I made my best guess and moved on. I was so mad when the first movie came out because her name was “Her-mee-on” in my head, and they kept messing it up.
