Lynn:

First, there are some posts focusing on just GoF
but from this post it suggests that he was
speaking about all 4 books so all characters
covered in the first four are included.  This
would make sense since characters from other
books are supposed to return for this one.

Second, Dadalus Diggle already spoke in PS when
Harry and Hagrid first went into The Leaky
Cauldron so he should be striken from the list.

Third, it is a good idea to figure out who's
voice has been heard but may not be heard here,
which would mean there are more than 9 new
voices.  We probably wouldn't hear Quirrell again
and would we necessarily hear Mr. & Mrs.
Honeyduke's again?  How about the unnamed
house-elves?

Who hasn't been mentioned already by others?

How about - the 4th man in the court scene in the
pensieve?  We really don't know who he was. 
Perhaps it's not Winky who is the vengeful
house-elf but perhaps a different one?  Could we
hear the voice of the school nurse or the
headmaster from Smeltings call the Dursleys to
lay some hard truths on them about Duddikins? 
What about Col. Fubster?  A spokesperson from St.
Mungo's?  The Creevey parents?  How about Ron's
cousin?  Maybe she makes an appearance in this
book.  Perkins?  Other Ministry wizards whom
Arthur contacts?  OOOO, maybe the Bloody Baron
actually speaks.  I can't remember, have Crabbe
or Goyle ever said anything?  Perhaps new shop
proprietors?  Doctors at St. Mungo's?  Prof.
Sinistra?  A new creature in the Forbidden
Forest?  

Personally, I think the list could be endless
depending on the plot possibilities.
