[HPFGU-Movie] Bellatrix

[Valerie Flowe]

I just finished watching "Conversations with other women" with Helena 
Bonham Carter. She's such a striking looking woman. I can't wait to see 
what she does with the character of Bellatrix! She looks really scary 
in the clips I've seen thus far...watch out Sirius/Gary Oldman!
Speaking of which, does anyone else think that the OotP writer/director 
will drop the storyline of Sirius-the-drunk-and-obnoxious? He is such a 
complex twisted character (that's why he's one of my favs!) that I 
think this would be quite hard to portray in just 2.5 hours on-screen. 
Though OotP is very much a psychological ride for Harry. He loves 
Sirius because it's the closest he can get to his parents. Then Sirius, 
drunk and insensitive, scoffs and tells him he's nothing like James. 
And Harry finds out that Sirius almost had Snape killed by 
Remus-the-werewolf. And James publicly ridicules Snape by parading him 
upside down. Then Sirius gets 'allegedly' accosted by Voldemort in the 
MoM, so Harry races to his rescue. Sirius meets his (final??) demise, 
and Harry is plunged in despair, having lost yet another grown-up he 
became close to. That's quite a lot to show in 2.5 hours dontcha 
think??
