Bellatrix Lestrange: The Actress. The most famous role of Helena Bonham Carter
Probably everyone heard about the young wizard by nameHarry. In the books of Joan Rowling and the movie adaptation with the common name "Harry Potter" Bellatrix Lestrange (actress Helena Bonham Carter) is the second most important character after Lord Volan de Mort. A frank maniac, a sadist, who enjoys the suffering of others - this is the only way to characterize this heroine. But about this image, as it turns out, the audience knows not all.
Bellatrix Lestrange: Actress
In fact, the actress, who played the role of one of the biggest fans among the followers of the Dark Lord in the series of Harry Potter films based on the books of John Rowling, is called Helena Bonham Carter.
She is so interestingly embodied in her dark character, that now she is associated with this role and nothing else, although the merit in the field of cinematography in the actress suffices.
Bellatrix Lestrange - the most famous character of the actress
I must say that the character named BellatrixLestrange, the actress who played it, portrayed it simply flawlessly. Such a dark force on the screens of theaters was not long ago. What is Dracula, he just bites and turns people into his own kind! Another thing - the magic, which in the book and in movies appears just at every step, especially in the performance of this sexy dark sorceress.
Magic wands, spells - all thisit's natural for witchcraft. However, as it turns out, something remained and behind the scenes. You understand that reading a book and watching a movie, where much of the story is omitted, are completely different things. So Bellatrix Lestrange (an actress whose real name is Helena Bonham Carter) is shown here too finely (for her level).
Such a statement has every reason behind it. The fact is that many of the character traits, personal life or the fate of the heroine of the saga remained just behind the scenes.
To start with, the very name of Bellatrix isfrom the French Bellatrix, which means "warrior". In principle, so it is. Look, because she has a huge power, akin only to the Dark Lord, and destroys everyone and everything indiscriminately. However, there are many secrets and incomprehensible moments that are not covered in the film (if you compare it with the book). Let's go into more detail.
What did not we see in the Harry Potter saga?
The saddest thing is that Bellatrix Lestrange (nameactress, as already mentioned - Helena Bonham Carter) is not a character taken just nowhere. The history of her life is quite interesting and in some moments even surprising.
To begin with, she is a née Black. And this means that Bellatrix is the cousin of Sirius Black. Nevertheless, in the fourth part of the picture ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"), she kills him.
It is no wonder, after all she has spent a lot of herselftime in Azkaban, along with Crouch, Jr., husband and brother (they were sentenced to life imprisonment as punishment). It was Bellatrix Lestrange who became the head of the so-called Death Eaters. What, according to the book, that the film, it gave her great pleasure to watch her victims writhing with pain when using the forbidden spell "Cruciatus". Nevertheless, in the "Deathly Hallows" against Bellatrix, such witchcraft was also used by the protagonist - Harry Potter.
Interestingly, Bellatrix Lestrange isgraduate of the faculty "Slytherin", and she studied with Lucius Malfoy, and then married his brother - Rudolfus Lestrange. As already clear, she is the aunt of the main opponent of Harry Potter - Draco Malfoy.
But that's not all. Bellatrix Lestrange herself (the actress who played it, Carter) hides many secrets in which it is simply impossible to understand without reading the original books of Joan Rowling. In the film this is simply not.
Magical secrets
So, this witch has a rather impressive list of secrets, to which she does not admit absolutely no one.
First of all, despite my cruelty anddespotic, she, oddly enough, is devoted to the Dark Lord more than anyone else. And this has nothing to do with the powerful forces of darkness. The thing is, she's just in love with the guy who was once called Tom Riddle (and who, by the way, is a distant relative of Harry Potter).
Magical secrets begin when we learn aboutthe death of the Harry family. Bellatrix Lestrange knew about the Prophecy, which announced the birth of a child capable of resisting the Dark Lord. She killed the parents of Nevil Dolgopups, thinking that after the death of the Potters Neville would be the one, but she was mistaken.
Next comes the lack of confidence in Snape. When Bellatrix comes to him with Narcissa, she feels that Snegg is not the one for whom he is trying to betray himself.
However, in the film itself, this is only said in passing. Look, until the last moment, Volan de Mort considered Professor Snape as his henchman and killed him only because of a magic wand.
The saddest thing is that Bellatrix Lestrange dies from the actions of Molly Weasley, the youngest of the whole family. Why it worked, it remains unclear.
However, Bellatrix Lestrange (actress Helena Bonham Carter) is not the only known character represented by the actress in the world cinema.
Other known roles
I must say that many will be very surprised to learn that Helena Bonham Carter in episodic or supporting roles was shot often enough.
On her account, such famous paintings as "Kingsays "," Alice in Wonderland "," Fight Club "," Terminator: Let the Savior Come "," Vicious Relations "," Planet of the Apes (2001) "and even the mini-series" The Great Merlin "starring Sam Neele , where she was recognized as the best actress in the nomination "Roles of the second plan".
