| | |  Helena Bonham Carter shot Bellatrix's death for Deathly Hallows on her last day
In a recent interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Helena Bonham Carter spoke about Bellatrix Lestrange's death scene in Deathly Hallows, which happened to take place on her last day of filming. Quote:
"I'm mostly in [Deathly Hallows: Part 2]," she told RT. "But it was fun. I died on my last day, which was really weird -- to actually be [killed] on my last day. Molly Weasley - Julie Walters - kills me."
And it'll be quite the moment, she explained. "I do get a good death scene," she told us. "It was really exhausting. As usual! [I'm] duelling, with a wand, on a table. I fell right off. I was clever enough to say, 'If you're going to ask me to duel, backwards, can we put a stuntman at the end?' They said, 'Ah, you won't need one.' And what did I do? Walked straight off.
"You'd think with 70 people looking at you, one of them would go, 'Er, could you stop?!' No! They loved it. I nearly killed myself -- on the day that I died."
For Bonham-Carter, bringing Bellatrix to an end was an emotional experience given her investment in the creation of the character as she appears in the films. "Bellatrix wasn't on the page," she explained. "I did think, What can I do to make this interesting? She was just written as tall and gaunt, but I knew there was something I got attracted to -- playing arrested development. You know, children. Bellatrix is another child -- stuck and totally anarchic."
Also, Helena and many of her Harry Potter costars will be attending the Alice in Wonderland UK premiere later today; we will have photos from that, so stay tuned.  | |

Yes! I've always been glad that she actually read the script and thought beyond the paper. She brought everything possible to the role Bellatrix that the fans could have wanted and so much more...a phenomenal actress. Unlike a certain HP actor we know *Dumbledore.*
And lmao, that's funny she died on her last day of work but it was a good way to say goodbye to the character...it made it official. And it was even realistic since she "nearly died herself."  So sad that she's gone now...

There was something to Bellatrix on the page, but the twisted, cackling manic element that Bonham-Carter brought to the role is magic that can only be performed by a truly gifted actress. I cannot wait for that scene.

Love her to death.  Although she's revealing a lotta spoilers in her interviews for those that don't read the books.

This was deep! I'm really liking how she's turned the character in her own hands and made her her own. At first I wasn't too sure. I'd heard that the character was more of a longer boned, classically featured woman, so even though, she doesn't physically look that much like Bellatrix, she's able to get into that characters head and breathe new life into her. She's not afraid to play her completely unhinged and dangerous. I just love watching her do that. This quote really solidifies for me that no one else could have done the role so well as HBC.
