(no subject)

I had a sudden insight in the video rental place today. They were showing Harry Potter, and had just reached the scene in the train, and I was listening in a rather distracted way, when out of the blue, the truth came over me. Hermione has the most annoying accent I've ever heard. No wonder Snape picks on her. If she were my student, it would be an act of will not to bitch-slap her every time she opened her mouth.

In fact, most of the Harry Potter kids have dreadful accents. It isn't just Hermione, although she may be the worst.
