Helen McCrory to play Narcissa in HBP

[artsylynda at aol.com]

>>So, we have a dark-haired, brown-eyed Narcissa? Or will she wear  a
blonde wig with blue contacts? And, forgive me, but McCrory is just
not  pretty enough for the role. We're supposed to see a beautiful,
arrogant woman  reduced to helpless tears and arousing the chivalric
instincts of the  seemingly cold, sarcastic Snape. Will it work? Can
she pull it off? Or has  she been miscast?

Carol, looking forward to the Unbreakable Vow scene,  which will make
spectacular cinema, but disappointed in the  casting<<
 
Sorry, I've been out of town for a while - I'm just starting to catch  up.  
 
Narcissa being dark-haired should be no problem.  After all, Uncle  Vernon is 
supposed to have black hair, Petunia and Dudley are supposed to be  blond, 
but nobody's fussed about them not having the right color hair.  And  Emma 
Thompson looks nothing like I expected Trelawney to look, but she's doing a  great 
job.  And then there's Flitwick, who looked as I expected in the  first two, 
then changed radically in movie 3 (Cuaron has a lot to answer for,  between 
Flitwick and Dumbledore's changed appearance and wardrobes, and sticking  Mexican 
references all through the movie, argh.)  I think McCrory will do a  good job.
