casting Bellatrix

[ghinghapuss]

The actress I would most like to see as Bellatrix is Miranda 
Richardson.

She was utterly evil in 'Sleephollow' and 'Spider', totally insane as 
Queenie in 'Blackadder', not to mention the little girl voice as 
Queenie is perfect for Bella when she is making fun of Harry.

Remember her in that black wig as the IRA assassin in 'The Crying 
Game?' And she made a great evil witch as Mab in 'Merlin.'  Some of 
the pictures of her as Mab are perfect images of Bellatrix IMO.  She 
is in her forties but I think that's the perfect age, Miranda is 
beautiful and she is not afraid to look ugly on screen as well.
