the actor was scottish, but JKR never said anything about that. i remember when i first seen the film and it was his scene and i nearly fell out my seat. i was like OMG that's a real Glasgow accent!! was like a breath of fresh air.

i think that as the books go on though, that more worldly figures will come into it. we already had the two other schools; and at the world cup there was witches and wizards from everywhere - that was kinda fun.
