bboyminn:

Hagrid's accent, which is not the same as Robbie Coltrane's 
nature accent, is a 'west country' accent. 

When Robbie as on Late Night with Craig Ferguson's, he 
demonstrated various British accents, and the minute he did 
'west country' you absolutely hear Hagrid.

When they say 'west country' I assume the mean English west
country.
