Helen McCrory, who will be playing Narcissa Malfoy in Half-Blood Prince, recently participated in a radio interview with BBC4. Harry Potter’s Page  wrote up a brief synopsis of the interview.

In the interview, she said she had a fantastic time filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She said that she doesn’t get to fly, but that she does have a wand. She said the wands are very interesting, as they’re brought to her in a box, she uses it, and then she must put the wand back in the box. The box is then put into a safe. She said the costumes are fantastic, rather a 50s style. She said she enjoyed working with the other Harry Potter actors, including Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) and Alan Rickman (Snape), whom she called very ‘laid back’.

There is a new interview with Helen McCrory online!

If I told you what I was wearing, I would probably have to kill you; it’s a bit like working for MI5. My costume is very couture, with beautifully sculpted silhouettes. The costumes are designed by my Parisian friend. Of course, style was battered into her at an early age.

Helen McCrory, who will be playing Narcissa Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has recently been confirmed to finish out the entire series!

When Helena Bonham Carter had to replace her as Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because the pregnant Helen wasn’t allowed by the insurers to perform the flying stunts required, Helen was offered another role instead as Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix’s sister and Lucius’s wife, in the next Potter film, The Half-Blood Prince, plus the one after that.

Thanks SnitchSeeker!
