DA
The ah sound is the her-MY-oh-nee. The MY has a "ah" sound (maybe the final H is misguiding here?).
Look at the wiki for the Greek Hermione on the pronunciation part:
Hermione (/hɜːrˈmaɪ.əni/;[1] Greek: Ἑρμιόνη [hermi.ónɛː]). The Greek pronunciation doesn't have the "ah" sound that is clearly written in the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) for the English Hermione as A.

I'm not the Anon making the previous comment, but I'm from Europe and we too use the Greek pronunciation for the Greek gods where I'm from. I've also studied classic Greek and Latin at school. The English pronunciation of Hermione is always funny to me because from my POV you're making the name sound more "complicated" than what it actually is.

Oh, you’re talking about diphthongs. Carry on.

YEP, that's it! The Greek pronunciation read everything as monophthongs, while the English pronunciation has that diphthong in herMIone. Hope it makes sense!

It does! Before, all I could think of was "Herm-AH-oh-nee, like an American Southern accent.
