Sounds German to me :-)! So *that's* the Scottish accent! The "r"s
don't sound English at all :-). McGonagall didn't talk like this in
the movie, so Jim Dale's pronunciation came as a surprise to me. Good
to know :-)!

It seems to me though that Bellatrix also speaks with some accent in
Dale's recording. Is it French or is it one more accent that I don't
know about :-)?


zanooda, not very good at recognizing accents ...
