[HPFGU-OTChatter] Trailer: regional accents

[heidit at netbox.com]

<<Harry sounds far too well-spoken, considering he was raised by the
nouveau-riche Dursleys and not given the most sparkling of educations prior
to Hogwarts.  He comes across as way too posh, IMO.  The way he says "I'm a
what?"....sounds to me as I would expect Draco to speak.>>

The dursleys aren't really nouveau-riche - they might be upper middle class, financially, but I don't see them in that slightly higher socio-econimic bracket - plus, if Vernon was truly 100% self-made, then that means he is at least business-smart, and I don't want to give him that kind of credit. I've always felt that Vernon came from a somewhat money-ed background, enough so that Marge could be a dog-breeder and live quite well at the same time.
And Harry had the same education, school-wise, that Dudley had pre-hogwarts (and seems to've gotten more smarts out of it than Dudley did).
