Harry Potter Tas Casting Call # 4
Project Overview
Here is the final casting call for characters who will debut in Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone abridged. There are a few characters I'm leaving out of the casting calls due to them having very minor roles in the series. I will assign those characters to actors I've picked for more major roles. There are still more roles in the first three casting calls that need filling, so please audition there as you see fit.
For those who didn't see the first three casting calls, Harry Potter: The Abridged Series is a satire of the Harry Potter films created with Microsoft Powerpoint. I have already completed all eight installments, and I wish to put them up on YouTube (non-profit). I'd like to add voices to accompany the characters' speech balloons. All I recommend is a high-quality recording, and a semi-believable European accent (unless you possess a real one, in which case, go right ahead).
EDIT: I realize that I've delayed the deadline several times now. I've been busy working on the series among other things. Getting a series like this off the ground is a long process, and I am thankful for everyone who has auditioned.

Mr. Ollivander in terms of voice and personality isn't that different from the movies. All I'm looking for is someone who can sound old, wise, and occasionally scared.
Sorcerer's Stone: You cannot pick out a wand, Harry. The wand must pick you.
Deathly Hallows part 2: (Stressed) Harry, please, no! I’ve been held captive for over a year having to talk about that wand!

Dudley is a hyperactive brat who usually whines over mundane problems. Dudley complains a lot at Harry, and can be very bossy. He doesn't have any dialogue in Prisoner of Azkaban abridged, and doesn't appear in Goblet of Fire abridged, so he only needs two different vocal ranges.
Sorcerer's Stone (young voice): (Impatiently) I don't like this snake! It just lies around all day and doesn't do anything!
Order of the Phoenix (matured voice): (Rudely) Who's Cedric? I didn't know that you had a boyfriend! I thought that all you did last year was join the Wizard special olympics!

Vernon is constantly angry at Harry, especially when it clearly isn't his fault. He is constantly finding new things to get upset over. His voice should be constantly disgusted and impatient.
Sorcerer's Stone: (Impatiently) Now you’ve done it, boy! You’re going to be in big trouble for this!
Order of the Phoenix: (Strictly) Now Harry, you had better find a way to get un-expelled, because I’m tired of your magic messing up our lives!

Petunia does not have many lines in the series. She usually comes off as indifferent to whatever happens, and isn't as mean as in the movies.
Sorcerer's Stone: (Worried) Oh dear...
Order of the Phoenix: Granted, two years later, the Marge incident is pretty funny.
Installments: Sorcerer's Stone, ...
In this version, the Sorting Hat is prevented from putting every student in the house he believes they belong in, which he is very critical of. He should have an expressive, but pessimistic voice. He primarily appears in Sorcerer's Stone abridged, but he will make several surprise appearances in later installments.
Sorcerer's Stone: (Critically) These students should be placed based on their characteristics! Not based on where there’s table space!
Sorcerer's Stone: (Impatiently) Don’t bother coming up! You’re in Gryffindor just like the rest of your family.

Griphook's voice can be either high and elf-like, or slightly low and grumbly. Since he's played by Warwick Davis in the Deathly Hallows movies, I'd encourage anyone who tries out as Griphook to also try out for Flitwick.
Sorcerer's Stone: (Pleased) Oh yes, there should be enough in this vault.
Deathly Hallows part 2: (Wary) Now be quiet, everyone. There’s a ferocious dragon down here guarding the vaults.
