PS/SS, Tom Felton teeth weren't all there.  You have your two front 
teeth and the two next to them and then the next two after those.  
Well I think that latter were messed up or something in PS/SS, but he 
must have gotten braces and has them fixed.  Could this be why he 
sounds different?  I know I'm going to go off topic, but the rapper 
50 Cent got shot and bullet went right through his molar making even 
a whole where the molar was and he said his voice changed.   So can 
your teeth positioning make you sound different, thus making Tom 
Felton sound different? Greicy, who's sinking

thought was that he was wearing braces, which can make speech a bit 
indistinct at first. I still hear a change in his accent from the 
first movie, but he nearly mumbles in the beginning of COS.
