Same. Exactly the same.

I just imagine the scene in my head — I really enjoy imagining Hogwarts, but with books like Sherlock Holmes where they tend to move around a lot, it can be a bit harder.

I also sometimes subvocalise when the character has a distinctive voice, or when it's a major moment ("You're a wizard, Harry" being an example of both).
