While not yet officially confirmed by Warner Brothers, representatives for actress Helena Bonham Carter have said the actress would be reprising her role as Bellatrix Lestrange for the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film. In an article with The Independent, they discuss the actress, who is currently expecting her second child with her husband, director Tim Burton. The reps say that that Helena Carter Bonham would be back filming the sixth Harry Potter film next year, with the article noting “her publicist said yesterday that Bonham Carter was not due back on the Potter set until the spring.”
Under the helm of returning director David Yates, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is due to start principle photography shortly, and is due in theaters November of 2008.
omg, yessss! i was SO worried about this ever since i found out she was pregnant!!!! i’m so glad they’re going to keep her character in the film! ah, i’m so happy! XD
budb-Helena I believe is signed for DH movie as well. Ive been wondering-does this basically clarify Spinners End will feature? I think it must-plus it will be a decent length because they wouldnt pay for her to come back for like two minutes would they?! WELL-the writers know Bellatricx is a good character and they know Helena was well received so what do you think is the possibility they increase her role in this movie and add her into scenes like the battle at the end?
I personally hope they do! Cant wait for more casting news!
Well Bella’s only scene in the book is spinner’s end so I think this pretty much confirms that that scene will be in the movie, and that they’ll be casting Narcissa. Yay!
Yes! I can’t think of anyone else who could be Bellatrix! And yay for the Spinner’s End scene being in HBP! Now, we just have to make sure they don’t cut Scrimgeour…

“and, knowing that Bella plays a role in DH, why don’t they just sign her for both movies now and be done with it?”
In a interview when doing press for OOTP, HBC said that she was already signed for the final film. I guess a few days ago, the casting directors called her to see if she was available to reprise her role for HBP as well as DH, and she said yes.
I’m grateful to hear the news to hear that she’s back for the final 2 films—she was great in OOTP and I can’t wait to see her in DH.
They’re not married. They’re living together, creating more illegitimate marriages. She’s just biding her time until she can move on to destroy another celebrity relationship.
"But, dear, if he got lost, how would we ever explain to his aunt and uncle?"[br]"They wouldn't mind," Harry reassured her. "Dudley would think it was a brilliant joke if I got lost up a chimney, don't worry about that --"
