<< [ACCENTS -- I'd like to see if our British friends would like to 
 identify the various accents for us.  Rupert's for example ... I can't 
 place it.  Emma is from Oxford, yes?  Neville sounds Irish (and of 
 course Seamus).  *loved* Biggerstaff's Scottish accent.] >>

Daniel - Slight leanings towards Posh London accent, but mostly just a 
southern/london one. 
Rupert - Your ordinary kid brought up down south. Kent, Sussex, Surrey, parts 
of London, the Home Counties etc. 
Emma - Posh. Not confined to any one area of the country - I know people from 
Devon who *should* sound something like Hagrid, but who sound like Emma and 
live in a house the size of Hogwarts castle... But I think she is from 
Oxford, went to school in France at some point as well, as opposed to her 
voice being from Oxford. If that makes any sense.
Neville - Yorkshire/Lancashire, it's been a week since I saw the film and off 
the top of my head I can't remember exactly which, but I think he was more 
Yorkshire than Lancashire. Sounded very Leeds-like actually.
Tom Felton - As Tom he's somewhere between Rupert & Dan, closer to Rupert, 
but as Draco he sounded Posher.
