Voice Actor Pronunciation and Inconsistent Lore in reality, books, movies and game

Not a rant, but inconsistent or unusual pronunciations distract me from focusing while reading the books, playing the game or watching the movies. I don't worry about character name pronunciations, because many individuals pronounce their own names differently.

A prime example of the game is when Caretaker Moon pronounces Alohamora.

He says AH-LA-ha-mora when the movies all say ah-LO-ha-mora

<Makes me itch every time>

JK Rowling incorporated Latin in a lot of the spells and some of the pronunciation sounds off in the movies. For example Obliviate and Patronus spells.

The movies say Oh-BLIV-ee-8 but I think Oh-bliv-ee-AH-tay sounds cooler.

Also puh-TROHN-uhs versus PAH-tron-uhs.

I know you are thinking it's much ado about nothing.

Any other pronunciations drive you crazy?
