Helena Bonham Carter

[Deleted]

Homewrecker or not I like her as an actress and I think she'd be fun for a few drinks. She was great in Fight Club.

She will make a perfect Bellatrix LeStrange. I wonder if she and Emma will cross paths on set?

(Poor dead Charlotte Coleman, as she appeared in her role as Scarlett in Four Weddings and a Funeral, is my ideal Tonks.)

Damn, that woman DIED? What happened?

I like many of the films HBC has appeared in, but I have a lingering dislike of the woman herself because she gives off a whiff of homewrecker -- she was with Kenneth Branagh when he and Emma Thompson broke up, and there she was again when Tim Burton and Lisa Marie called it quits (or, rather, when Burton called it quits). Bit suspicious, that.

Ditto. I dislike her as a person because of those situations, but not so severely that I can't watch her in movies -- the version of Twelfth Night that she was in is one of my favorite Shakespeare films ever. (Which is mostly due to Imogen Stubbs and Imelda Staunton, but HBC fits really well.)

Asthma attack, Georgianna. Truly tragic.

It's weird. I agree that it's perfect casting but I also always pictured her playing Tonks.

That never crossed my mind - I thought of HBC for Bellatrix, I don't even know why they didn't cast her first!

Is there a Tonks casting already? <goes to check Imdb> I don't see anyone as cast yet.

No - she's been cast. I don't think you were looking at the full castlist. They have Natalie Tena listed as Tonks.

Whoops. I did look at the full cast list, but in my potential Keira as Tonks excitement, I passed over it.

I like HBC. Thought she was wonderfully weird in Big Fish. She will work well for the Potter films.

Appears to be expecting a second child with Tim Burton.

Looking noticeably more buxom than usual and placing her hands on her slightly rounded belly on Saturday in Italy was actress Helena Bonham Carter, 41. The Harry Potter star was spotted vacationing on the island of Sardinia with fiance, directer Tim Burton, 48, and their son Billy-Ray, 3 1/2.

The couple have yet to confirm what looks to be their second pregnancy.

Depite the homewrecker cloud, I like her. But girlfriend screams CRAZY!

She looks like she could be pregnant in those pics. I just hope they don't pick another name like Billy-Ray (although I could totally see them doing that).

The Fug girls are always dead-on in their descriptions of her. I think one time they said she looked like she styled her hair with an egg-beater. But I am ridiculously excited for *Singing Johnny!* in Sweeney Todd.

I like her. Despite her quirky personality, she is a good actress. And have anyone heard of hers and Tim Burton's living arrangement? They keep 2 separate homes, living next door and have a connecting room/space in between. It seems to fit their weird personalities and relationship.

[whatever]

Man, what is it with the weird Brits? Alan Rickman and his girlfriend have been together almost 40 years and both have their own residences, too.
