In a new interview with Dish Rag Blog on Zap2It.com Helena Bonham Carter discussed Bellatrix Lestrange and the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films. SPOILERS if you haven’t read the book!
“I get to do horrible things,” she admits about her character Bellatrix LeStrange. “I killed Sirius Black ages ago. I kill Dobby in this one and I torture Hermione.

Basically I’m there to play one long scene where I explain to the kids – who are not kids anymore – about some part of the history of Albus Dumbledore’s life that they weren’t fully up to the mark in. But I did get, for one split second, someone put a wand in my hand and I got to flash it.
