Ohh we have a new Bellatrix, the following article can be found here (opens in a new window) but here’s the text)
A major casting change has been made on the filming of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange was to be played by Helen McCrory.
But she’s now had to be replaced as she’s expecting a baby and would be heavily pregnant when her scenes in the Ministry of Magic were filmed.
Newsround can exclusively reveal that she will now be played by Helena Bonham Carter, who played Charlie’s mother in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
EDIT: Lea informs me she was the corpse bride also, hmmn interesting. And I’m strangly not suprised by this either.
You can find images of her on google by clicking here..
Well, what do you think?
Hehe.. sorry.. had to.. Bella is a godess ![]()

You want the truth? Ok… I reallly like Helena. She is a wonderful actress. I loved her performance in Corspe Bride, she was funny. But… she’s not Bellatrix *repeats it 20,000 times* You know me, I can’t accept anything new

Well, I don’t know Helena, as I haven’t seen Corpse Bride and didn’t pay attention to Charlie in English class, but she looks like she might be able to pull it off. Then again, I dunno her, so it’d be hard to say.
