I thought Helena Bonham Carter was a perfect choice for Bellatrix.

Bellatrix is a completely off the reservation... absolutely bat-shite character. She's great for the role.

Now, this was a good Potter movie, but moms... PLEASE... leave the kids under 5 at home. Seriously. It should be child abuse to take kids that young to a movie as dark and as long as this one. There were two little girls and an oblivious mom sitting next to me at the theater last night, and it was obvious they wanted to go home. Mom just sat there like a damned statue.

Parents... STUDY THE frickING MOVIE before you drag your kid to it!

saw the movie last night and really enjoyed it. this is an extremely dark film and i salute the filmmakers for not kidding it up. it sets up the final movie very well.

No Potter movie after Azkhaban should be seen by young children.

My son is 8, and he can't see after GoF.

Back to the review.

HBC could be replaced by any number of actresses. She acts completely cartoony to the point of campiness. I find myself more annoyed when she is on the screen rather than angered or tense(which should be the response).

That said, Delores Umbridge delivers yet again. She brings the visceral emotional response when she is on screen. Bellatrix should do the same, but she just doesn't.

She wasn't the first choice. The woman who plays Draco's mom was the first, but couldn't do it because she was doing another movie.

The part that really got to me was when the Muggle Study teacher from Hogwarts was hanging over the table at Voldermorts and she just kept begging for Snape's help
