First, my friending frenzy is still going on, so if you want to add more friends to your flist or whatnot, take a look!

So in World Literature today, we were watching Hamlet - the Mel Gibson version. (Yes, Mel Gibson - sorry, can't help that the idiot is in that one.) Anyway, while we were watching, I couldn't help but notice how familiar the actress for Ophelia looked. I also noticed how innocent she looked - she really does look tender and all that. 

So I went on IMDB just now, to see who it was.

It's the actress who plays Bellatrix in the next Harry Potter film. Bellatrix, for the uninformed, is a sadistic villian who - well, won't spoil for those who haven't read the Harry Potter books, but she's not a likeable person. 

I just found that really ironic.

Helena Bonham-Carter is one of my favourite actresses. She's an extraordinarily talented character actress. I recommend A Room with a View, Howard's End, The Wings of the Dove, Fight Club - even Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - for other notable performances. Even though I'm not going to enjoy having to hate her as Bellatrix, I was pleased she was cast because I think she's as bulletproof as Emma Thompson as Trelawney and Ken Branagh as Lockhart. She'll be excellent. And she's also the RIGHT AGE!
