I like the accent Jim Dale gives him -- What is that, Yorkshire?

What sort of accent to you read the Weasleys with? For some reason I
give them Liverpuldian (sp?) accents. ( I guess I see them as the sort
of people you'd find in a Wily Russell play. :) )

Last year a Norwegian Ridgeback sneezed on my system and I was without
