Hi Cat,
I was wondering if "SB" was the closest but I did think he sounded,
they all sounded, a bit heavy on the nasal sound. Is that a regional
thing? I mean, that was supposed to be the "Southern Districts" so I
was thinking maybe just like Americans, they have some regional
differences but I really don't know too much except I did see a
televison documentary about Australia a couple of years ago that
inroduced me to an aristocratic Australian accent. On the Harry
Potter yahoo site, we had a very long and in-depth discussion about
the characters, their accents and how the two related (or didn't as
it were...) I am ashamed to admit that it took me a while to place
Paul in "Joseph." I guess there was a fair amount of cognitive
dissonance for me. He looked so completely that character, and they
did make Joseph seem larger than life. I kept thinking where is he
from? I finally had to close my eyes and just listen. Then I
realized "Aussie." But I am still clueless as to how to place
the "Asenath" character. Loved her accent, just can't place it. I
will be so embarrassed if she turns out to be an Aussie as well.
And so it goes.
Thanks Cat,
JenD
