| | |  Helen McCrory talks Half-Blood Prince co-stars
In a new interview chronicling actress Helen McCrory's (Narcissa Malfoy) acting career, she talks about her on-set work experience with her Half-Blood Prince co-stars Helena Bonham-Carter (Bellatrix), Alan Rickman (Snape), and Jim Broadbent (Slughorn): Quote:
"There's Helena in Doc Martins, mad hair and rolling eyes, Alan Rickman as Snape who, if he was more relaxed, his heart would stop. Then Jim Broadbent is lurching towards you opening the door. It's surreal. These are actors normally playing lead roles and some have four lines here. So it's amazing creativity both on the acting and production fronts. There's this freedom to create which is quite unusual for Britain," she admits.
The article mentions how Helen was originally cast as Bellatrix Lestrange in Order of the Phoenix (the role now being played by Helena Bonham-Carter), but had to step aside as she had become pregnant with her second child. It also reinforces the fact that Helen will be back to play Narcissa in the Deathly Hallows films.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will make its way into theatres November 21, 2008.  | |

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

In the case of Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane, I'll definitely agree with you there. With the last movie, it seemed like Maggie was only there to remind the audience that yes, McGonagall is still a teacher. They shove so many new characters, some of them INVENTED for no good reason, which pushes the ridiculously talented "established" cast further into the background than they already are.

O.o wow I thought that there was no question about who should play Bellatrix in the 5th movie. How many times must Helena Bonham Carter prove that she is awesome at crazy??

I prefer the teachers/parents characters to the trio. They're just more interesting and multi-layered.

AND we didn't get to see McGonagall attacked, even though it was filmed, as pictures of her recovering have been shown. AND the centaurs looked pretty blecch too.
