I hear you Thomas, and someone on the first page said the same thing as well were not alone.

I think the current Bella fits the part better, but im glad shes on for HBP!!

Live, Love Harry Potter!!

I would have prefered “desperate and fearful” for her role in HBP.

OH! She looks nothing as I pictured Narcissa!!! First of all, shes not BLONDE!!!!!!!!!!!! (lol, im one to talk, i have brown hair but am dieing to try out for this one part, but the character has blonde hair!) lol, but STILL! come on, cant they cast someone who looks the part!

L/T Shipper, Stella Thomas, and others: The picture at the top is NOT from Harry Potter!!!!! Please look at the links from page one of the comments, in NICO’s comment.

People, read the freakin’ article, and get your facts straight before you complain- you’ll sound more intelligent. :)

Anyway, I’m eager to see how Helen does with Narcissa, she is a very talented actress and I hope she has good chemistry with HBC. :D

I’m sure that she’ll be great. I don’t think that she is supposed to look like a Barbie, and it’s her acting that matters more to me. I think that she is a wonderful choice, she just doesn’t look like I imagined Narcissa.

i thought naomi watts was playing narcissa???

wicked and witchy??

LOL. i Love itt(:

i kinda liked her. i saw on a website what she is looking like as cissy. she has blond hair for one and two she looks younger. no wrinllesand cissy is one of my fav charecters so i would ber mad if they mest it up. -cissy

Has anyone heard of hair dye? I hear it changes the color of someone’s hair….... I guess it must be new…...

Or wigs. They’re quite handy as well, if an actor doesn’t have the exact color of hair as described in the book.

But oh no, Helen McCrory has brown hair, and nothing will ever help it, and the world is coming to an end because of it.

Sorry, I’m feeling impatient with all of this whining tonight. Guess I should take my grumpy self off to bed.

strange, it looks like a lot of comments were erased from here.

Saria: “Or wigs. They’re quite handy as well, if an actor doesn’t have the exact color of hair as described in the book.”

Yes!

Newsflash: Jason Isaacs does not have long, platinum-blond hair. Natalia Tena’s hair isn’t purple. Alan Rickman, unlike Snape, has sandy-blond hair—and hazel eyes!

They’ve got WIGS, kittens. For real. And colored contacts. And makeup.

Helen McCrory’s more than up to the task of playing Narcissa. And the hair, makeup, and wardrobe folks are up to the task of making her look the part, too.

@djm19

It’s because a lot of those comments had links to, or were discussing, images from the film that we’re not supposed to know about yet.

I wasn’t so much in the loop for any of the other movies, but were there this many unauthorized images and set reports getting out for those films as well? Or have there been an unusually high number of leaks for the HBP film?

Not that I expect to get an answer. My comment, along with djm19’s, will probably be deleted quickly. Sigh.

Helena is perfect as Bellatrix, she’s absolutely Bella to the core! Helen, like most people here, I had imagined Narcissa as a bit different, but let’s just see how the make-up people do their job. I’m reserving my judgement till the movie comes out!

So looking forward to Helen as Cissy! I love unorthadox casting!

...And I also have faith in those fabled wigs.

I’m still sad that she was unable to play Bellatrix… she really was my exact image of the character. When they first announced her casting as Bellatrix (before she knew she was pregnant) I was so excited because I thought they couldn’t have found anyone more perfect for the role.

Why are people taking what Helen has said (wicked and witchy) so literally? I took it to mean just a jokey remark about playing a witch, not about Narcissa’s character in the film itself. I’m sure that Narcissa will be as upset and determined to save her son in the film as she was in the book.

As to those that are saying they don’t think that Helen can play the part, I doubt many of you have even seen her preformances in other productions, she is a very good actress, and I’m sure that the production team will make her look the part. I can’t wait for Helen to play off Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter in the Unbreakable Vow scene!
