Finally, the last English actor in the world has been cast in a Harry Potter movie. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which will be released a little less than a year from now, will feature erstwhile Corpse Bride Helena Bonham Carter as Sirius Black's cousin, Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange. Wait a second — if I'm not mistaken, they have somehow forgotten to give a part to the greatest Brit thespian of all time, Joan Collins!

I really like Helena. I've seen her in plenty of movies, and she is good. She doesn't usually play the evil character, though. In fact, I can only think of one movie where she was a bad character, and even then she wasn't extremely evil; nowhere near where Bellatrix is.
"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
She is a brilliant actress, but they are going to have to do a bunch with makeup to make her look the part. She's too pretty right now. Bellatrix needs to look tired are worn out from Azkaban.
