More Casting: Order of the Phoenix
This just in: Helena Bonham Carter will play Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
HBC is a great actress, but somehow she doesn’t fit my mental image of this particular villain. I’ve always envisioned Lestrange as taller, darker, more angular. Kind of like a mean Cher.
Since I last checked IMDB on Order of the Phoenix, there have been a lot of casting additions, including Luna Lovegood, Nymphadora Tonks (sorry, Dormouse), and the young versions of James and Lily Potter, Snape, Lupin, and Sirius. No pictures of the latter few.
My biggest question about Order of the Phoenix is, of course, whether or not they will include Hermione’s Patronus, which is, naturally, an otter.
P.S. I have just learned from Wikipedia that J.K. Rowling’s favorite animal is the otter. Huzzah!
