think of one American actor who could even do a British accent, but 
then, I spend my life watching British movies, so I'm probably not 
the best one to chime in on actors themselves. 
 
Haha, there's not much of anything I would recommend Costner for, 
definitely not anything in HP.  Someone way back when mentioned Kevin 
Kline as Lockhart, as KK seems to be one of the few Amer. actors who 
can even approach a decent English accent.  I can vaguely see him in 
the role, but would still prefer a British actor...
