Accents/

[Flying Ford Anglia]

Penny commented on my question about accents...

>>>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 have the Jim Dale versions.  What I have in the FAQ (movie-related 
stuff excepted) relates mainly to Hagrid, the Weasleys and the 
Dursleys, with a bit on Snape and Krum and a few others.  Some 
discussion relates to audio versions, and I'll probably include that 
where it raises a question about the accent the character ought to 
have (if that makes sense). If I don't cover Hagrid here, it'll be a 
bit thin...

As for the movie, I think I'll write a piece covering those "the 
actors should be British" threads and leave it at that.

>>>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).

That's pretty much what I've done, based on the posted messages.  It 
needs a bit of tweaking though.

I have a really busy few days ahead, then some more time off, when I 
can get some of these things done and dusted (seriously, this time).
