I especially like his Edinburgh accent for McGonagall...

As far as I can tell, he does Hagrid with a West Country accent that 
I think is perfect [after all, he's written in the books with an 
accent]. Actually, I can't imagine Hagrid _without_ that accent and 
am looking forward to see if Robbie Coltrane does the same in the 
film. I couldn't tell much from just "Harry, you're the boy who 
lived."

Can anyone say if Stephen Fry does Hagrid with a West Country accent? 

Thanks,
