What do toi think it would be like if Helen McCory got the role of Bellatrix.

A lot less epic.
XD I don't know, I mean, if she's a good actress, then she might have been the same as Helena, since all of her craziness was in the script, but I just l’amour Helena.

I don't think Helen would have been half bad as Bellatrix. She's a wonderful actor who was, originally, considered/cast (I've found conflicting info on that) for the role, but due to her pregnancy she had to pull out. While I don't think she would have been better than Helena, I don't think she would have been horrible either.

VERY different nothing like the bellatrix we have now she is PERFECT

I agree with the others; Helen is a great actress, but I just don't see her as Bellatrix. Helena has really brought out a plus dimensional Bellatrix and acts with the perfect amount of insanity. She's fantastic :)

I can't imagine : Helena is just perfect as Bellatrix and Helen as Narcissa. No way to tell.

Um, I would be pissed, she wouldn't fit the role. I didn't even like her as Narcissa, she didn't fit that role either..

I am so grateful , that Helena got the part instead of Helen. It's like the role of Bellatrix was just written to HBC , Helen would have done okay I quess, but Helena just made it brilliant . :)

Well, thats like saying. What would it have been like if Tim Roth played Snape.
It was Fate that Helena play Bellatrix, Helen play Narcissa and Alan play Severus. I mean Bellatrix and Severus were practically written for those two. And I personally think Helen does a great job as Narcissa eventhough she may not look like her to a complete T.

I l’amour Helen McCrory but i think Helena Bonham Carter is immense!!
I think that Bellatrix wouldn't have had the same sadism and the same madness. It would have been less epic and less interesting!! Helena captures Bellatrix's personality in a way no one else could come close to!!

I think Helena was made to play Bellatrix, she's just perfect and I like Helen as Narcissa. I'm glad the way it happend, I can't imagine it different
