Not really Emma news but I thought it was nice to post.

Helena Bonham Carter has given an interview in which she talks about her time in the final Harry Potter film – or films as the case may be – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and the scene where she gets to play Emma Watson’s character Hermione.

Talking about a scene where Hermione drinks a potion that enables her to assume the identity of Bellatrix Lestrange, who Helena plays, the kooky british actress says;

“Rather than put Emma Watson in a helluva load of make-up they just said, ‘Now you go act like Hermione’. That was fun, because I always wanted to be Hermione.It was great fun. [I was] looking at Dan [Radcliffe] and Rupert [Grint] and they were treating me as if I was 17.”

Helena fans better not get their hopes up though – she only features in the second half of the film, which won’t be out until 2011.
