| Yes, I enjoyed it too.  He's been the voice of Harry Potter 
| to me for all
| seven books, though I will now have to set aside time in the 
| next few weeks
| to start reading the braille version.  However, I noticed 
| some of his voices
| were a little different this time.  Vernon started out being 
| a bit different
| than his previous voice, and I think there were one or two 
| others.  But the
| other characters, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Snape and 
| Lupin, were
| all instantly recognizable, even before the text told us who 
| was speaking.

[Lee]:
Yes, I noticed some of that, but I figure when one has done so many
different voices it gets tough keeping up with which voice is which.  He
says he keeps notes on voices, but still, it must be tough.

I'm going through COS again and noticed that some of his voices seemed
strained and, the more I listened, I could hear a hoarseness and wonder if
he had some problems with allergies.  You can definitely hear when he does
the howler...there's a definite strained quality.

Whatever caused it, I have to applaud him for continuing, even if I want to
shake him for straining his wonderful voice. <Grin>

Cheers,

Lee :-)
