It's been a while, but seems to me that Hermione was pronounced properly in
"Philosopher Stone". I haven't seen the other movies but part of the plot
in book 4 "Goblet of Fire" revolves around one of the characters (Victor
Krum) never pronouncing it correctly and Hermione trying to teach him. Did
Victor crop up in the 2nd & 3rd movies?

JK used that plot to teach readers how to pronounce it since that was one of
the most frequently asked questions.
