I've been listening to the audio version of OOP recently and there's 
something that struck me as very odd. (This is the American taping 
read by Jim Dale)

I've listened to the previous four books on audio and thoroughly 
enjoy Jim Dale's characterization.  While listening to OOP, I 
noticed a difference in the way that he pronounced both Hermione and 
Voldemort.

In the first four books, he pronounced Hermione in a way that 
sounded more like Her-maahh-nee and pronounced Voldemort like 
Voldemore (T silent on the end).  In OOP, there is a profound 
difference in the way he says these two names (Her-my-o-nee) and 
(VoldemorT).

Has anyone else noticed this and if so, do you think that it could 
be the influence of Movies 1 and 2 that have caused him to alter his 
pronounciation?

Thoughts anyone....
