The first time I read PS (seems like along time ago, even if it only 
was in July) I immediately pictured of Coltrane as Hagrid with his 
scottish accent (that's how his speech read in my mind) and so was 
dead chuffed when they announced Coltrane would be doing the honours 
in the film.

Also, in the Stephen Fry reading (which I thought was excellent, even 
if I didn't agree on Hagrids voice) I thought Fry gave Hagrid more of 
a Somerset accent than a Devonian/Cornish one; the stereotypical 
farmer (with 'is combine 'arvester, ooo arrrr).
