Somewhat less true in english movies, or movies set in england. I don't think any of the kids in Harry Potter were the villains

Fun observation! A similar thing existed in Soviet movies: villains usually spoke with Ukrainian accent.

During an opening scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Dr. Jones is surrounded by hostile Russian soldiers, but he immediately observes that Dr. Irina Spalko [Cate Blanchett] "isn't from around here" and he goes on to describe her unique accent, correctly naming her origin as Eastern Ukrain[ian Soviet Socialist Republic].
