[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Helen McCrory to play Narcissa in HBP

[Red]

I had high hopes for Rebecca De Mornay  thats not happening since she isn't British and they don't want Americans in the movies. She would have been great as Mrs. Malfoy. 

Love,
Red

To which my reaction was, YAY!! There were three scenes I really, 
really wanted to see in the movie, and this was the only one I feared 
might get written out of the screenplay. 

My other two faves, the scene of Harry and Dumbledore in the Cave and 
the killing of Dumbledore by Snape, I had no fears about.

zgirnius:
I would guess she will wear a wig, with or without contacts. (Blonde 
hair and dark eyes does happen in RL, my own sister is an example). I 
think you may be underestimating McCrory's assets in the looks 
department, as well. I have seen better photos of her than in the 
Leaky article, for example this one of her in the title role of the 
2001 miniseries "Anna Karenina":
