Actress Helen McCrory, who will be playing Narcissa Malfoy in the next film installment of Harry Potter, had an interview in the Independent up today in which she talks about filming Half-Blood Prince:

“I’m looking forward to it. It’s unusual to have such a successful film only starring British actors. I have really started to enjoy the craft of film acting. I do a lot more film and television now than theatre. The difference between screen and stage is that in theatre it’s tangible whether someone can act or not. I’ve worked with people, who will remain nameless, where a film scene has had to be cobbled together from a whole day’s worth of takes because the actor is []. They can’t remember the lines; if they do remember the lines, they can’t remember the moves. In the final project, they will look great, because the director will cut the film for them. In theatre, you can’t employ someone who can’t remember their bloody lines. That’s the difference,” she says.

Helen was originally picked to play the part of Bellatrix Lestrange, but she was pregnant and couldn’t do it (actually, I like Helen, but I think Helena Bonham Carter did such a fantastic job that the whole thing was providential!).
