The Weasleys certainly don't sound Devonian, or indeed West Country.  
As a child, I had a Devon accent you could cut with a knife, so I 
know whereof I speak.  The Weasleys all seem to me to speak what is 
usually referred to as "standard English".  The cockneyfication of 
Ron in the films seems to me entirely wrong and grates on me rather.
I think Hagrid probably speaks with a West Country accent - certainly 
not Scots, whatever Robbie Coltrane's origins.
