Well, he studied in England as a Rhodes Scholar, so he can do a pretty good English accent. (He did play Churchill, after all.)
But I'm reminded of the story that Rosie O'Donnell was considered for the role of Mrs. Dursley in the first Potter movie until director Chris Columbus decided that the movie would seem more authentic if they used real Brits rather than Americans doing accents. Still seems like the right idea to me.
