Videos: Helena Bonham Carter completes work on Deathly Hallows
In a new video interview with The Dish Rag Helena Bonham Carter reveals that she has finished filming for Deathly Hallows. She explains what Bellatrix Lestrange gets up to in the final films and talks about working with Daniel Radcliffe & Rupert Grint. The interview can be watched below;
Quote:
"I get to do horrible things," she admits about her character Bellatrix LeStrange. "I killed Sirius Black ages ago. I kill Dobby in this one and I torture Hermione. Oh, and I get to pretend to be Hermione. Hermione takes this potion that makes her look like me. So I had to act like Hermione pretending to be me."
Of her young Potter costars, she says, "They are such nice human beings, bright and with such great manners. I love them. I miss them."
UPDATE: Helena also spoke to MTV about portraying Bella in Deathly Hallows and how much she enjoyed working alongside Dan and Rupert whilst playing Hermione as a teenager. The video, unfortunately only for US viewers, can be seen below; the text is underneath.
"I do have lines in this one, which is good," laughed the veteran actress, who has become a standout as evil Bellatrix Lestrange in the films. "I only finished it a couple of months ago.
"I get to torture Hermione," Carter said when asked about her favorite scene, which revolves around an incantation that Bellatrix drops on Emma Watson's character just for fun.
Quote:
The best bit about being Bellatrix in this one is also because I got to pretend to be Hermione," she added of a pivotal scene that has the evil witch's identity being assumed by Harry's friend in order to gain access to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which holds Hufflepuff's cup — and a part of Voldemort's soul. "Because Hermione takes polyjuice potion and gets to look like Bellatrix."
"Rather than put Emma Watson in a helluva load of make-up they just said, 'Now you go act like Hermione,' " Bonham Carter said of their decision. "That was fun, because I always wanted to be Hermione.
"It was great fun," she said of the scene. "[I was] looking at Dan [Radcliffe] and Rupert [Grint] and they were treating me as if I was 17."
I guess we are gonna have to go through this... Actors are finishing up, and soon the lights will be out. All these years, wow... time just went so quick.. I remember the premiere of the first movie as though it was yesterday.. and all things that begin obviously must come to an end... I will miss her so much. When they decided Helena was going to come our as Bellatrix I jumped for joy because there was no better actress than her. I love her sarcasm, and evilness... I'm gonna miss her...
"It was great fun," she said of the scene. "[I was] looking at Dan [Radcliffe] and Rupert [Grint] and they were treating me as if I was 17." - That's funny!
Seriously though, why do they keep telling us different things about the split...although, they did originally say Malfoy Manor is in both movies so maybe it's split just as the get to the Manor. Before they go inside...outside the gates!
Oh I love her. One of the best English actresses out there, no doubt. I'm glad she knows so much about her character too. She gives such an amazingly psychopathic performance as Bellatrix. She must really be enjoying herself in that interview because she seems to be liking what she's eating hehe. Oh and I love her outfit and her hair...it's all her.
And no, this is sad...my heart's ripping out because it's one of the things that makes it really seem like it's ending.

I know, right?! It's utterly creepy but she's just that good I guess.
She's so AWESOME!! I love how comfortable she is. Love it! Bellatrix is probably the character I hate the most in the Potter books, but I love Helena. I will barely be able to watch the Hermione torture scene. It was so sad in the book, because Ron was screaming her name the whole time. So sad. And then she goes and kills Dobby, Tonks, and Fred (she caused the blast that killed him).
But I love that Helena had so much fun playing Hermione. I can't wait to see that scene.
I don't think she's done filming the whole thing, maybe she's just done for right now. It seems like she would've mentioned that Molly Weasley killed her, since she wasn't concerned about spoilers.
