Accent specialists, please comment if possible...
Was Tom being almost Cockney in the Slytherin Common Room when he 
said Dumbledore probably got the Daily Prophet to "hush it aw up..." 
in regards to keeping the attacks quiet? I am also an American and 
can tell some differences. This one stuck me. And as someone else 
noted, Tom sounded quite different from the first movie. I was 
wondering where Chris Columbus was during all this accent shifting. 
Maybe he never noticed. Accent is an important aspect of character to 
me, especially in British films where accent can indicate so much 
about a character. It is disconcerting to have accents be so 
undependable. Enough whinging. At least I can see my sooty little 
Harry anytime I want now!!
