 it seems that he played Harry with a "posher" accent than he uses in 
 real life; any Brits have an opinion? Or are his in/out of character 
 accents identical and streaming audio slurred his voice a bit? >>

I watched the newsround interviews on tele and he seemed to have a voice that 
was in the middle of breaking - ie, a bit gravelly, but had it's high 
moments... bless... He actually did sound a bit deeper than the film to me, 
but like I said it cracked in places sometimes, but so did Ruperts I think 
(who sounds fairly unposh to me, and if anything deeper as Ron than Rupert) 

As for how posh Dan sounded... never paid it any attention really. I suppose 
he sounds a bit posh when he's reading the letter from Hogwarts (particularly 
on the Witahcraft & Wizardry bit), but apart from that, he sounded about the 
same both as Harry and himself. 

JKR was on briefly today, I'd imagine that's on the website now as well.
