Absolute worst sentence I've ever seen in an article

Yes, great mix up when people write about the books or films who don´t know what they are talking about (i.e. most journalists ? ;)
I have just watched the new film, Deathly Hallows part 1 premiere this afternoon, (I live in Germany). The scene you discuss here will be in part two of the Deathly Halllows film. Of course Hermione will look like Bella because she took Polyjuice, so it is like you wrote: Emma Watson must have helped Helena Bonham-Carter to act like Hermione, not the other way around!

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.
