Carol responds:

Reviving an oldish thread here. I was flipping through the channels
the other day and recognized the voice from the HP DVD extras (the
ones apparently designed for ten-year-olds that involve following Sir
Cadogan through Hogwarts or turning Scabbers into Wormtail), so I
looked down at the bottom of the TV screen and, sure enough, the title
of the show was "Pushing Daisies." >From what I saw (three women, two
young and one middle-aged with an eye patch--the older one seemed
invisible to one of the younger ones???), it looked pretty silly and I
doubt it will last a full season. Also, it's funny (odd), but I never
realized that the voice in those DVD extras was Jim Dale's. Guess I
don't need to hear the CDs to know what he sounds like. I *think* I
prefer Stephen Fry, but I've only heard a small sample of his reading.
Guess I'll just stick with the books. If I replace my paperbacks for
the first four with hardbacks, I'll be doing well. I don't suppose
I'll ever own the British editions. Too many other things to spend
money on.

Carol, who would never have heard of "Pushing Daisies" if it weren't
for this list
