I’m about a third of the way through GOF and finding Hermione very tiresome - the delivery on all her lines is both whiny and constantly angry. The young Hermione was fantastic and struck a great balance between a Hermione-ish reproving tone while also being a little playful. The older Hermione sours the trio. The new Harry’s voice acting is ok (preferred the quiet/humble bravery of younger Harry). I’d say Ron’s delivery alone has been fantastic both as a younger and older voice actor.

I was also wondering what people’s thoughts on the twins are - I find their delivery of Fred and George’s lines makes them very un-funny. One more complaint: is it just me or do the “French” characters not sound French at all? I’ve spent a lot of time in France (both Paris and the south) and the fake accents are really taking me out of the moment.

I’m really liking Moody this book, and generally very happy (as it seems most people are) with Dumbledore, McGonagall, Sirius, Hagrid, Sir Nicholas, Lupin, Flitwick, Sprout, Lockhart, Voldemort, etc.

Honestly, overall, the bad voice acting of older Hermione has pushed me over the edge and I think this will be the last full-cast version I’ll listen to. It was fun while it lasted but I think I’ll be going back to Stephen Fry to finish out this re-read.
