McCrory Interviews

Actress 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! 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 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.

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. :)
