Well, either way, there's a rather big chance that Hermione has been to Tottenham Court Road on several occasions even if she isn't from London, was all I meant.


As for the stuff about accents, I suppose I spoke out of turn and am not familliar anough with them to really do so. It's just that Yorkshire is so very distinct even to non-Brits, I just couldn't see it, and I've heard people from Midlands speak, and I thought it could be vaguely like her... No matter. I'll shut up next time.

All this said, of course, if one has her comming from a moderately large city she wouldn't necessarily speak with a very broad accent at all, no matter where she's from. City people generally have less dialect and accent and speak more "normal"; I think this goes for all countries.
