And on that note I shall go and hide, masterfully dodging all  the 
flak that will no doubt head east towards me.

I generally agree with you, though I'm not very perceptive about  accents.
I didn't really notice Renee's goofs much in Bridget Jones, and I  still
don't notice Hugh Laurie's in House at all. (Or maybe I just don't  care
because I love him so much in that show. He's just so good at being 
snarky--or should I say, Snapey ;-)
 
Anyway, I never would have expected any major roles to go to 
American actors. The lead children roles especially called for 
British unknowns. But I just think it's too bad American actors 
are ruled out entirely from any role (that was my understanding 
of JKR's request/demand anyway).
 
On a side note, I agree that Djimon Hounsou would be a good choice
for Kingsley Shacklebolt. According to his filmography though, he is
he is already working on the film version of Eragon. He may want  to 
limit himself to one wizard series at a time!
