    I love how a good chunk of the video gave the impression that a West Country accent sounds like growling, and then all the practice lines you picked were examples of what a big, soft sweetheart Hagrid really is. Excellent summary of the character, really.

    I am a Southern man raised in the US. I find it charming how some of our country and hick accents can almost derive from certain regions of Mother Britinana. Head on 'round my neck of the woods an' you'll hear a rough country accent and a mixed western since Texas is a land with four sections. I find the books I give Hagrid his Scottish accent but the films do justice if not a condensed adaption.

    I had to look this up after I randomly thought today “Hagrid’s accent is more similar to ours in the US than other parts of England, I must know why.”
    We also obviously drag out the O, use rhotic R, say e’s got instead of he’s got”. Guess the accent didn’t change in the West country like it did in London in the 1800’s.

    It's interesting. Hagrid's accent is a lot like some of the American Southern accents. The long vowels and occasional dropping of the letter H in the word "he" are very common in American speech in some places. "Ain't" is something you hear a lot in the US, also. The one part of my linguistics class that I had to take that I really liked was the analysis like this. Lovely video!

    I love the accents. I'm from the US and I feel we speak very boring over here. It makes a bit of sense of though, why there's such thing as a "southern accent" here in the US. I would think it came from over seas (Irish etc.). They tend to drop a few consonants when speaking. They even drop the letter "H' sometimes. Actually, that might make a good video. Go over the southern US accent. Also Dwarves and their language. Not a real language but cool none-the-less.
