so Helena Bonham Carter is playing Bellatrix Lestrange. This is not nearly as cool as Angelina Jolie playing Bellatrix, as I had hoped, but still quite awesome.

Now if only they'd cast Narcissa ....

I think she's pretty cool, particularly now that I've seen the movie. It's simply that when I was super into the fandom I always envisioned Bellatrix as Angelina Jolie because of the snake-like features, etc.

I like Carter better than the last actress they picked. Also, she's involved with Tim Burton, and so her idea of the character must be really cool.

Hm. Is Narcissa going to be cast at all? I can't think of a good actress that would be able to play her right.

Since she hasn't been in any of the movies thus far, I doubt she will be, which really is a shame because she's one of my favorite characters. So much possibility for character development.

Yeah, my boy and I were looking at pictures of her after we found out, and saw a pic of her and Tim Burton and thought "heh, that figures." I think she did a great job in it, when I saw it last night. Totally creepy and crazy.

The character is much more developed in the books than I expected her to be. She would make a good addition to the movies, but considering how much they have to pack into each one, she probably isn't going to fit, unless something big happens. They almost got rid of Kreacher from the movies, too.

Ooh! Don't tell me anything! I'm seeing it Saturday.

The movie was really good. But they really could have picked anyone to play Bellatrix. She was barely in it at all, for all the hype that there has been about Carter playing her.

I think the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort was one of the most badass things I've seen in a while.

The whole Death Eaters v. Order fight was majestic. Interesting that they decided to do the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort the same way it was with Harry & Voldemort in book four, with the two spells kind of duking it out. Duh duh duh, foreshadowing. Or something. Definitely symbolic.
