Oscar nominated actress Helena Bonham Carter (The Wings of the Dove), will be joining the cast of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” She will portray Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius Black’s cousin and she’s a Death Eater as well as being a loyal follower of Lord Voldemort.
Carter joins the regular cast of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who are all returning to reprise their roles as the young wizards Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. It is hard to believe that we have been watching these three kids grow up before our very lives into young adults.
Besides Helena Bonham Carter, the Order of the Phoenix will spotlight a stellar co-starring cast which includes Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Brendan Gleeson, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, David Thewlis, Fiona Shaw, Richard Griffiths, David Bradley, Robert Hardy and Mark Williams.
