Snip

I couldn't figure this sentence out.  But I noticed something else--

The article also contains this statement: "For Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Helena also helped Emma Watson by inviting the actress to her house to talk through a scene where Bellatrix becomes Hermione after taking a magic potion."

I find at least two probable errors in the above statement---

I am pretty sure this "help" was during the filming of Deathly Hallows, not Half-Blood Prince.  I can't recall an instance in HBP when "Bellatrix becomes Hermione after taking a magic potion."  In fact, assuming that Kloves has changed the plot of HBP, I still can't think of a reason for Bellatrix to become Hermione.  Of course, as I haven't seen the film yet, I could be mistaken.  I think this is referring to the time in DH when Hermione polyjuices into Bellatrix, not the other way around.  So the writer of the article got the wrong film (probably)and the situation backwards (probably).  Thus, I imagine that Emma was helping Bonham-Carter to act like Hermione, not Bonham-Carter helping Emma to act like Bellatrix.  Bonham-Carter, after all, will be required to act like Hermione when alone with Harry and Ron and then she will be required to act like Hermione pretending to be Bellatrix when they get to Diagon Alley.  I am looking forward to seeing this performance.  I think Bonham-Carter can pull it off.  Should be interesting, imho.

Overall I enjoyed the article.  But, I notice that often the writers of many of these publicity articles obviously have not read the books and tend to get things mixed up quite a bit.  Granted, there is a lot of information to confuse if one is not a fan.  I find more and more references to certain things happening during the filming of HBP, when it is fairly obvious that the incident was during the filming of DH.
