Because of Project Runway premiering (EEEEP! <3 this show) Lifetime has a new poll on their website called “Dare to Wear”.  Helena Bonham Carter’s look for the Half-Blood Prince London premiere is on the list!  Go here to vote Definitely! or No Way!

Currently 10% say Definitely! and 90% say No Way!

Canada.com has a new article online about the new film Alice in Wonderland with Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall, Frances de la Tour and Stephen Fry.

Besides Depp as the maddest of Hatters, other headliners include Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter who plays The Red Queen and Anne Hathaway defining The White Queen. Newcomer Mia Wasikowska portrays Alice who will be an older teen and, word has it, more empowered than previous Alice incarnations.

Fans will notice other adjustments, but the most obvious will be Bonham Carter’s character – whose face is enlarged three times its normal size as the nasty and nuanced royal one – portraying an amalgamation of The Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts.

Others who may or may not be recognizable? Alan Rickman, Snape in the Harry Potter pictures, is the Caterpillar’s voice with the composite of his face digitally applied. Michael Sheen, last seen as David Frost in Frost/Nixon, portrays the White Rabbit, Stephen Fry is the Cheshire Cat. Christopher Lee is the Jabberwocky and Crispin Glover shows up as the Knave of Hearts.

A new trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has been released! A number of Harry Potter stars are in the film as I have posted earlier this year in April.   Helena Bonham Carter … The Red Queen, Alan Rickman … The Caterpillar, Stephen Fry … The Cheshire Cat, Timothy Spall … The Bloodhound, Frances de la Tour … Aunt Imogene.  View the trailer below:

UPDATE: The trailer has been removed from youtube 🙁

There is a new interview online with Bellatrix Lestrange actres Helena Bonham Carter.

This summer, Helena’s back and bad as Bellatrix Lestrange, the Voldemort-loving scourge of Harry Potter. When she first read the script for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, she was disappointed to see she only had a few scenes with Daniel Radcliffe and Ralph Fiennes, who plays Voldemort. But Harry Potter’s author stepped in to reassure her that the role would get better, and bigger.

“When I showed some reluctance in playing a tiny part, J.K. Rowling said Bellatrix’s role was going to be significant in the last film,” she said. “But significant could mean a lot of things. That could just mean a significant plot point. It doesn’t necessarily equal a big part.” Returning to the role of the gothic witch meant fitting Helena with a skyhigh hairstyle and a set of false teeth.

“You have to keep them in so you get used to them,” she said. “But you forget they’re in and if you then eat something, they break. That’s very expensive.” To complete the look of the only female Death Eater in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Helena sports a gothic corset and a pair of impressive boobs. “I have chicken fillets,” she explained. So when she finally got a chance to choose her cleavage, her first instinct was to go for chicken fillets that were turkey-sized. She said: “I thought it was my chance to have the boobs I’ve always wanted. But my assistant said, ‘You look like a porn star.’ And that was not the image I was going for.”

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. Helena wanted to know everything about Hermione in order to get the transformation right, but she also reassured Emma that being a young actress didn’t mean she had to worry about her image all the time. “I’m top of Heat’s Worst Dressed list,” she told Emma. “Who cares?” Beastly Bellatrix will be the second time Helena has turned rotten this summer.

Thanks to Oclumencia we have a bunch of new behind the scenes photos from the Shell Cottage filming taking place this week.  In the photos we see Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Warwick Davis, Evanna Lynch, Toby Jones, Helena Bonham Carter and a bunch of crew members.
