Hi, Cindy!
Perhaps I am reading this incorrectly. Let me see.
The original list . . . The new list (updated)
> > Arabella Figg Arabella Figg
> > Mundungus Fletcher Mundungus Fletcher
> > Mrs. Longbottom Mrs. Longbottom
> > Mrs. Longbottom Frank Longbottom
> > Dedalus Diddle Dedalus Diggle
> > Mr. Lestrange Mr. Lestrange
> > Real Moody The Real Alastor Moody
Fridwulfa
I'm glad someone pointed out that the way your original email read, the 125 characters were over the course of the series so far, not only in The Goblet of Fire. In your last email (citing the first list you proposed, and the updated list), you said you changed the list because of the following:
>Lady Lindi nailed me on Dedalus Diggle by pointing out that he had
>the one line in PS/SS. Curses!
>But we can replace Mrs. Diggle with Fridwulfa, thanks to Morgan D.
But, because of these observations by Lady Lindi and Morgan D., wouldn't you take Dedalus Diggle off your list, as well as Alastor? (As has been pointed out, his voice should not change, because the polyjuice potion should have inbued him with all the qualities of Moody. However, one could argue that when the comment was made that the reader would have to do more voices this time, he did mean characters, as the only reason he'd have to do the same voice for two characters was the potion, and perhaps isn't so much a stickler for correct details as HPfGU). So, that could make the updated list look like this:
Arabella
Mundungus
Frank
Mrs. Longbottom
Fridwulfa
Mr. Lestrange
I do agree with Lindi, though, that there will be more people because of some people we probably won't hear from again. Some examples are Mr. Roberts, the Ministry Wizard who was dealing with the portkeys, Cedric.. not to mention earlier very minor characters such as the lady from the Knocturn Alley (hoping beyond hope that I'm not suffering from celluloid spoilage), Madam Malkin, possibly Aunt Marge...
And, if for some reason I didn't read your previous email correctly (the one with the new list), then I apologize for this post. :)
Aesha, who is straining to read FOTR, TT, refresh on the entire HP series and pass her Japanese final before OoP shows up on the 21st.
