Andrew Lee-Potts, who plays Hatter in Alice, is from Bradford, Yorkshire, England, and his accent is a peculiar combination of Yorkshire, RP and Mockney.

Yorkshire is in the north of England and the people there use a short 'a' like North Americans, so when saying the word 'laugh' they say 'laff' rather than 'laahf', as would be said in the south of England.

RP is an abbreviation which stands for 'received pronunciation' which is the 'standard' English accent, and uses the long 'a' as in 'laahf'. It is basically a southern accent, but has no specific regional connection and is generally used by the middle classes across the whole of England.

'Mockney' is a word used to describe a fake cockney accent which has become fashionable in the last ten years or so. It is based on the working class cockney accent of east London and tends to be used by middle class people who are trying to appear to have more street credibility.

The author, Lewis Carroll, doesn't mention what sort of accent the Hatter in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has, but as the author is English and the real world portions of the book appear to be set in England, it might be fair to assume that the Hatter has an English accent.

In the 1951 Disney movie, the Mad Hatter has an American accent
