Rumors are abound on the Internet today because of a small report on Dark Horizons stating that Elizabeth Hurley has been offered the role of an ‘evil witch’ in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
According to Dark Horizons
:
During CNBC News last night, it was apparently revealed that Elizabeth Hurley has been offered a part in the fifth Harry Potter movie The Order of the Phoenix with the character described only as an "evil witch", best guess for now is the role of Bellatrix. She apparently hasn't signed yet, but is thinking about it. Filming begins sometime next year.
We are currently trying to find out if there is any truth to this, but I decided to post the story since so many other Harry Potter sites are doing so. As with all unconfirmed casting news, please treat this as a rumor. As soon as we hear official news we will post it.
UPDATE: We have just received word from Warner Bros.:
There is absolutely no truth in that rumor whatsoever.

Wow! I can't believe their talking about OotP casting already. I never really imagined Hurley in a roll of any real substance, but I be she could have a nice little evil streak in her.

I think she would be pretty good, although I'm not too sure she can really be mean like at the end inside the MOM. Pretty decent choice though.

That's really very funny! I can just see Liz Hurley as an evil witch- no offence to her, just saying she's a very good actor and could really pull it off! She was very funny in Austin Powers...Cx

It would be so cool if Elizabeth Hurley got that part. I think she's a great actress and could play an "evil witch" really good.

I wonder if she could be belitrix. it menchins in the artical that that was the best guess so far for the "evil whitch" roll. i mean she probably couldn't be Unbridge... could she?

I dont think she will be Umbridge cause she isnt fat and doesnt remoteley resemble a toad. Maybe with good make-up though who knows. Wasn't at least one more female death eater besides Bellatrix? Anyway Liz Hurley is cool so I hope she gets a part.. no matter which one it is. I agree with *unspeakable; as long as they dont change any of the other cast members and anyone new fits the part, I will be happy.

I never even though about her. But, I can see her playing the part of Bellatrix very well. She's an excellent actress. I would be more than pleased should she decide to take up the part.

I think this may be like that Rowan Atkinson rumour... remember he was "going" to play Voldemort. This may actually be the same as that.

That's cool, I guess. They're just getting everybody famous, aren't they. I just have to say one thing, these famous actors better nto take the fame and glory away from Tom, Daniel, and Rup or i'll be ticked off!

I really can't see Elizabeth Hurley as any kind of evil witch. I know she was evil in bedazzled but in a... comedy kind of way, if you get my drift.
I especially can't see her playing Bellatrix. She just wouldn't fit. I can't explain why but when I imagine her in the role it doesn't seem right. But then again I could be wrong...

Er.... I never really imagined Bellatrix to look anything like Elizabeth Hurley. Yet again move make-up does wonders... Maybe I'm wrong, others may be able to picture her as Bellatrix but I can't. Oh well, I guess we will have to wait for WB to say if this rumor is true or not.
