[HP4GU-FAQ] Accents/doing FAQs as a book...

[Penny & Bryce Linsenmayer]

Hi --

Making slow progress in cleaning out my inbox, which got really out of
control this week.

When I envisioned character accents -- I was thinking a bit more of
something that would suggest the various theories for characters who
have distinct accents (mainly Hagrid I suppose).  I also vaguely
wondered if we could mention/describe the various accents that are given
to the characters in the audio versions.  I see Melanie is doing Audio
Versions.  Do you (Neil) or Simon have any of the audio versions?  It
might be better for one of the British members to comment on that
aspect.  I can also go with just adding a blurb to the Casting/Movie FAQ
about accents in general.  Maybe the theories about Hagrid's accent
should just go in the Hagrid FAQ (Carole is doing this one).  I think it
would be best if Neil or Simon wrote up some description or blurb about
the theories on Hagrid's accent (you hear West Country or Scottish
brogue thrown around most often -- I think West Country myself but I'm
not British).

Is this making sense or am I rambling this morning?

I know!!!  I sympathize.
