De uma entrevista da Blue Peter BBC com JK Rowling em 2001:
BPP2: Good question, good question. I've got another good question here ... what accent is Hagrid supposed to speak in?
JKR: West country ... where I come from, I come from the West country.
BPP3: So now we know.
Então, o Hagrid pretende ter um sotaque do Oeste.
