Yay! I was really happy when I heard she was cast because I wanted her in the first place. But I'm happy with OotP's casting anyway. ^^
Helena Bonham-Carter as Bellatrix seems particularly inspired because she's so beautiful and fragile-looking - deceiving appearances and all that. Besides, the Blacks are supposed to be hugely good-looking and she will at least have covered that. ;) (Although she can be 'un-pretty' too - just watch Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, she's Charlie's mom!) She was also in Corpse Bride, as the voice of the Corpse Bride...
I don't like Mel Gibson (The Passion of the Christ was actually just a shitty movie with way too many violence and way too little story, and Braveheart was only slightly better) and though I've never seen his Hamlet I already know I prefer the Kenneth Branagh version since that one just rocks! And has Kate Winset as Ophelia and Julie "Madam Rosmerta" Christie as Gertrude! But it isn't out on DVD yet. :( Stupid.
