Thanks for the feedback.  I too love the accents that Dale does and I
have listened to them quite a few times.  I do agree with what some
others have said about Hermoine being a bit to whiney at times but it
doesn't bother me enough to not listen.

I do like the audio effects that Fry has on his, like an echo chamber
of sorts.  He uses it when Harry is recalling things other people have
said to him or when Bagman amplifies his voice at the World cup and
Triwizard competition.

Let's hope your librarian friend is right and I don't see how they
wouldn't use Dale again, unless he is getting tired of doing
it...don't think so .
