Best Answer

Franklin's father's family lived in Ecton, Northamptonshire, England (East Midlands) for over 300 years. Though his mother was born in Massachusetts, her parents were also from England. Considering the fact that his father taught him to read, it is likely that Franklin spoke with an English accent established by this initial phonological awareness.

His accent was likely elevated 'above' the Midlands dialect by his exposure to the world, but probably flattened a bit by virtue of having been born in 'the colonies'. And yes, Virginia- everyone has an accent of one kind or another. Really. DrMarkus

There is no such thing as a 'British' accent. The accent commonly heard in Harry Potter is the ENGLISH accent. I can see no reason why anyone would stop you from auditioning for a part.
