author_by_nightFirst, 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 the perfect choice for Bellatrix. Everything I've seen her in, I've loved her role. She can definitely pull off the psychotic aspect. She did it great in Fight Club, after all. And she also does calm and sweet very well. She'll definitely be able to pull off all of Bellatrix's personalities.
