 She is such a consummate actress; I know she'll do an outstanding job. I did picture someone taller though. Ah well, I will adjust!

   I think she has the right look to play the character and I don't know that her height will be such a handicap with her face-off with Sirius if she uses a wand to....I can't bring myself to say it.  
 
 akh pipes up:

When I mentioned the casting change to my office partner, (who has not read the books, by the way, but enjoys the movies) she asked me, somewhat doubtfully, "What is she playing?"  I replied, "A nutcase."  She was relieved; her first experience watching Helena Bonham Carter was in the movie "Wings of a Dove," and she HATED the character.  She feels the best role for HBC is a nasty witch!

akh, who's not so concerned about HBC's height, since Gary Oldman's no towering thing, either...
