There is a new interview with Helena Bonham Carter now online.

Next up for Helena is reprising her role as Bellatrix Lestrange in the next installment of the Harry Potter film series, which starts production in February.

I quite like the anarchic role, and the good thing is, Bellatrix has huge breasts, and I won’t need the chicken cutlets this time. Like lactating on a broomstick.

Anyway, Helen McCrory, who plays my sister, has also got a small baby [son Gulliver is 11 weeks], so we’re going to have a witch’s crèche on-set.

As you remember, I posted that some Harry Potter stars were nominated for Golden Globes. And some won!

• Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama –> Julie Christie – Away From Her
• Best Motion Picture – Musical  or Comedy —> Sweeney Todd (Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter and Timothy Spall)

Congratulations Helena and Tim!!!!!!

MTV has a new interview out with Helena Bonham Carter where she talks about her new movie Sweeney Todd as well as Harry Potter.

MTV: Do you have compassion for Bellatrix?

Carter: For Bellatrix? Yeah. Anybody who tends to be a baddie or a psychotic, they tend to be damaged in a really fundamental way. There’s a vulnerability, a deep vulnerability, a wound.

MTV: So Sweeney is Mrs. Lovett’s Voldemort.

Carter: That’s true. And this [she pats her pregnant belly] is little Voldemort. Little Sweeney. [She giggles.]
