Wheee! I love Bella!

Good...Bellatrix is such a good character...in a very evil way. Neville better kill her in the last book, or I will be very angry.

ooommmmmggggg!!!! i cannot wait for the book!!!aaahhhh!!!


Posted by Tony_the_Terrible Jul 10th 2007

I am sure she will be important...for Neville to kill, anyway! :P She will probably kill someone else, but Neville (with help from Harry) will eventually kill her to avenge his parents. Harry and Neville may even AK her at the same time, to avenge Neville's parents and Sirius at the same time.

Can't wait to read the last book, PS: Mugglenet...best site in the world


Posted by violiola Jul 10th 2007

you guys are probably right. neville will probably kill her, with help from harry.


Posted by Actress_Tanika Jul 10th 2007

I figured so. I think Neville will finish her off.


Posted by annesmith Jul 10th 2007

OMG IM SUCH AN IDIOT ..... thats not big news really .... i mean think about it ... jk tells them to keep kreacher in the movie cos they'll need him to keep a thread going in the 7th film .... kreacher wants to be bellatrix's house elf as she is last remaining member of the black family... kreacher is on harrys back with a sword.... so like duh ... connection ....


Posted by dreamchill Jul 10th 2007

I think she'll definitely die in the 7th book.


Posted by puregenius Jul 10th 2007

omg, i can't wait for the book! it's gonna be amazing


Posted by Neville86 Jul 10th 2007

Should be good. Hopefully it has a lot to do with Neville's character as well.


Posted by lillink1222 Jul 10th 2007

NO freaking way... OMG! That's awesome! I love bellatrix!


Posted by mrssiriusblack Jul 10th 2007

oh good i really like bellatrix so im glad she is a main character in DH. when i say i like her i mean she is interesting in the books, obviously she is an evil evil cow=) but i dont know if neville will kill her, like DD said killing is not as easy as the innocent beleive. would he be able to AK her??? i would like if he did but i dont know oif he has it in him! id like voldy to kill her or maybe her sister.


Posted by saidin_rules Jul 10th 2007

Interesting. I agree Neville86. ~http://thebo okswede.blogspot.com/


Posted by crazyy Jul 10th 2007

eeek, cant wait for the book! 10 days !


Posted by irma_babuci Jul 10th 2007

I sincerely hope neither Harry, nor Neville will AK anyone. I do hope that Bellatrix gets taken out of the picture, I just don't want them to be killers. I hope there is another way. (How about a friendy kiss from a Dementor?)


Posted by RyAn2006 Jul 10th 2007

OMG I SENT THIS STORY IN LAST TUESDAY! HELENA SAID THIS ON SKY NEWS AT THE PREMIER AND AS SHE SAID IT I WAS LIKE "WHOA" AND SENT IT STRAIGHT IN!! LOL GEEZ! But still..Bellatrix signifigant!! How about R.A.B- REGULUS AND BELLATRIX! Maybe not...


Posted by Nizmat Jul 10th 2007

I so hope Neville gets his revenge!! I'd like to know who's been slowing all the world's clocks down because each day is suddenly about 36 hours long!! Pass me a paper bag I'm going to hyperventilate........... .(Collapses in a heap!)


Posted by Ruby_321 Jul 10th 2007

OMG, 10 days, its gonna b one amazin summer! I cant wait!


Posted by LipGlossJnkie Jul 10th 2007

JKR didn't say she was going to be a main character, just significant. All I can say to that is "Duh!" She's one of the top Death Eaters, and in the 6th book, she's having issues that she's no longer considered to be the Dark Lords most trusted, since Snape knows things she did not. I can't wait to see what JKR is going to do with her! She could have a conflict of interest, be stubborn enough to turn on fellow DE's, who knows! I would have been severely disappointed if the 7th book ignored or otherwise diminished Bellatrix's role!


Posted by janu111 Jul 10th 2007

i cant wait!!!! we are soo close to the release!!! ahhhh!!!!!! im ssooooo excited!!! im glad that bellatrix will play a big role in DH, i love her!!


Posted by potterwolff Jul 10th 2007

Excellent! Bellatrix is one of my favorite evil characters. I have no earthly idea how she might become more significant, but it makes me even more pumped for the final book!


Posted by Fidelious Jul 10th 2007

Bella is the best baddie. Period. Oooooh I have a theory....


Posted by darnitsmiranda Jul 10th 2007

Yay! Helena Bonham Carter is my favorite actress of all time!! It's so cool she's in the HP movies. :)


Posted by Nizmat Jul 10th 2007

Go on then Fidelious...share it with the rest of the class!!


Posted by Kadaj Jul 10th 2007

Bellatrix is such an awesome character...pity she's on the bad side.


Posted by hprebel311 Jul 10th 2007

i love how david turned the interview on emerson. ootp is actually one of my favorites though. ahhhhhhh i can't sit still i'm so excited!!!


Posted by AnyaMarcos Jul 10th 2007

Holy crap, I didn't even notice I was first. I thought it'd be a bigger thrill. Pbbt. Ya gotta love Bella.


Posted by janu111 Jul 10th 2007

Fidelious- what???


Posted by Potterbunny Jul 10th 2007

oooooooh ! i wonder what her role could be, because we havnt really seen much from her apart from the battle in ootp and at the beginning of hbp...maybe she is close to voldemort and knows something important. oooh maybe harry orders kreacher to weasle information out of her...


Posted by HoJpOj Jul 10th 2007

Urg Bonam-carter as Bellatrix is not good, not good at all! I mean yea she's okay, she just isnt Bellatrix. More comic relief baddie than real baddie. You can tell bonam-carter hasnt read the books, or at least, only read them after she was given the part, 'cause in an interview awhile ago, she was like "I've played witches before, so yea" and i just thought... yea, she hasnt read the books to make a statement like that. stereotypical "fly my pretties, fly!" (wizard of oz lol) isnt the order of the day in harry potter. theyre all real people, just who can do magic. thats why bellatrix is so hated, cause she's real - like the people u see on the news who are mentally ill and in cults and have killed people... and whats with all the makeup? we know bellatrix is in love with voldemort, but i dont think wearing a shed-load of lippie is gunna help her case with him... rant over lol.


Posted by SPEW07 Jul 10th 2007

i hope its cause neville kills her!!!!


Posted by hprebel311 Jul 10th 2007

haaaaaaaaahahahahahahahah a emerson totally went borat on dan!!! that was great. these are slightly helping my excitement, but also just pumping me up.


Posted by SugarxSpunxQuill Jul 10th 2007

Thats so great! Bellatrix is definatly my favourite character, i have even name my cat after her! There is never a dull moment, quite literaly! Shes just such an indepent woman... even though she may be on the side of voldemort, she is still fiesty and independant!!!


Posted by pigwidgeon Jul 10th 2007

YES! i absolutely love bellatrix! she's one of my favourite characters. certainly in my top 10. :) great news.


Posted by G11nyW33zly Jul 10th 2007

Shes gotta die! But I mean what if she takes Neville with her? *Sniffle* that would be like the worst thing... but I mean still at this point we have no idea who really is going to die...oh man I dont think I can wait ten more days! :(


Posted by anglophile_bibliophile Jul 10th 2007

Oh, yay! I was hoping she would be--she's my absolute FAVORITE evil character... hehe... I hope Neville finishes her off! By the way, Helena Bonham Carter is awesome!


Posted by threehourzsleep Jul 10th 2007

I saw the movie last night in a sneak preview. For the short time she was on screen Bellatrix was fun to watch. Of course she's a bad guy, but convincing and ghastly as well. If there's more of her to come then it should be good stuff. Not a lot of screen time for many of the minor characters. I don't remember much of the movie that d/n have Harry in it either. Quick paced, considerable book scenes, characters, dialogue omitted, but in order to get a watchable movie in a reasonable length - I think were judicious in what was included. Noticably absent is the scene in Grimwold place where cleaning is going on and a locket that could not be opened is discarded. I wanted to see that since it is key now that we have book 6. Go see it. Its good times.


Posted by emma30 Jul 10th 2007

yay! bellatrix owns.
