Helen McCrory on Narcissa's Wardrobe in "Half-Blood Prince"
McCrory InterviewsActress Helen McCrory is featured in a new article from the Times Online briefly discussing the attire we will see her in as Narcissa Malfoy in the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film. While unable to give specifics about what her character will be wearing, she did relate the sensitivity of information such as a character’s wardrobe, saying: “I play Narcissa Malfoy in the new Harry Potter film. If I told you what I was wearing, I would probably have to kill you; it’s a bit like working for MI5.” Mrs. McCrory does go on to talk a little more openly about the style of the costume she’ll be wearing, stating:
“My costume is very couture, with beautifully sculpted silhouettes. The costumes are designed by my Parisian friend. Of course, style was battered into her at an early age.”
Images of the actress sporting many of the the looks she goes on to discuss in the article can be viewed right here in our image galleries.
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” will hit theaters November 2008.

cool. Can’t wait to see some pictures and a trailer.

Cool! I always imagined her being the top of witch fashion. Not quite like muggle dresses, but close.

I def see Narcissa beinhg a couture person. Is it me, or are they being slightly more tight lipped with this film?

I think of Narcissa as couture really high fashion. I think they did ok not great but ok

cool she is funny, I cant wait to see more clear pics of her costume and her as Cissy. I agree they are more tight lipped about this film.

I guess that TLC can’t post them for obvious reasons, but I’ve seen at least two pictures of her so far. I hope that this’ll make WB release some good quality shots of her before long. :)

Interesting. I have always seen Narcissa in velvet and silk. A bodice like top, and a long skirt. And after Spinners End, I can just picture a long, fitted cloak, with a very deep hood. Made out of dark velvet, I think.

I really wonder why they’re being so tight lipped.I have a feeling this movie will be the best in the series,for some strange reason I think they are keeping a secret from us and we won’t be seeing until it’s release.Ohhhh man I can’t wait.

Narcissa Malfoy is supposed to be a blonde so this picture isn’t correct and I hope they make her as blode as her son Malfoy in the movie.

she is blonde, there are already some pics of her out there

cool looking costume but that looks nothing like Narcissa. but of course it could all look different in the movie. i sure hope so!

The pictures on the galleries or by the news title is not her in Narcissa costume, guys… She will be blond and (I think) wearing green.

In my opinion she should be wearing rich wich couture. Not muggle couture. Long red velvet cloak with deep dresses. Very wealthy looking because of who her family is. I for one am not very impressed!

Leaky , Please put a disclaimer that that photo of her in the red dress is not from HBP. Each time there is a story about Helen that photo appears and people think it is her in HBP. :)

That picture of her is how I always imagined Bellatrix to look: dark, elegant, and haggard.

I’m sorry to say I do NOT like Helen Mcrory as the role of Narcissa Malfoy ! This may sound cliche but Jo Rowling looks EXACTLLY how I pictured Narcissa. She would have made an amazing Bellatrix tho to bad she got pregnant. I pictured Narcissa as a blonde for sure! And check out this vidio(link at the bottom) because this is basiclly my opinion on the matter, only I’m way to lazy to type it all pce <3>

well sadly michelle you and the rest of the disappointed, close-minded fans will have to get over it. Its actually really rediculous that they have to be what YOU envisioned in order to work. I have gone blue in the face saying this and frankly if no one has told you and other close-minded fans this yet,but if you go about life expecting everything to be ham- handed the way you expect you will be slapped in the face real hard. 99% of the time it wont. Stop the sick whining its getting really old. she IS Narcissa and will be in the last two, End of story and discussion.

Ummmmmmmmmmm guys the pic above is not the way she looks as Narcissa,it’s a pic from a different movie.She actually looks awesome as Cissy in a different pic that is going around the net.
