Apropos to nothing, I was watching a Youtube video of someone playing the fiddle, and violinist looked a lot like Luna Lovegood (wasn't Lynch, though). I started trying to think if any of the characters in HP actually play a musical instrument. I know in third film Flitwick is conducting a student chorus that also appears to play frogs, and the Weird Sisters apparently play instruments, or do in the film, as well as the infamous Stubby Boardman, not that we ever see him. Celestina Warbeck sings. The whole school sings the school song, but I don't think instruments are mentioned. I believe the ghosts have some sort of band at Nick's deathday party, but that might be the only direct reference other than Harry's little carved flute and the charmed harp used on Fluffy in book one, neither of which is ever seen again. Do we ever hear that an actual character in the books plays any other musical instrument?
Foreign language question
May. 22nd, 2012 07:36 pmDoes anyone out there happen to speak Hungarian? I'm trying to type up a document for Ancestry's World Memory Project from a Holocaust survivor, and this gentleman's handwriting is extremely hard to read. Google language isn't much help as he seems to be using a dialect (for example, "anyam" is used for mother instead of the usual word; apparently it literally means "was my mother" while in regular word choice apparently it would just be "anya"). The letters I think I'm seeing don't seem to be real words. Anyone?
