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.

As for the trio, I think it will still be the original three. Dan and Rupert don't seem to be a problem. It is Emma I think that will pose a problem. I think that she needed extra convincing to take her part in GoF. But I also hope that the 3 will finish the series. Anyways, they were already forced to do a Dumbledore change and if it the situation requires, they might also find a replacement for any of the 3.

That's kind of a shame for her to play an evil witch because she is really beautiful. I cant wait for the movie though no matter who is in it.

Hey whoa wait, can we at least see GOF before we get too over excited about OotP, but yeah that would be kind of cool i think...

I think Elizabeth Hurley would be a great choice for Bellatrix. They must be moving along pretty well, since there are already rumors about who will be cast as what in OotP.

I did not imagine bellatrix lestrange and a 6'3' super model. I think it'llbe really stupid if they sign her on. I mean she a good actress but she's to much of a sex symbol. Also it's nice that you can't really recognize the other charactors from huge pieces. When you see her you'll think austin powers or kingpin and it will be really strange. I hope this isen't true.

Isn't this a bit too early to decide who will be the fifth movie? I'm not sure this Hurley can really play Bellatrix either. They could find a better actress.

celedora- I agree it doesn't seem right that the fem-bot from austin powers should be the one to kill serious.

one more thing although the books did state that bellatrix was pretty, she was always scouling, and she's been in azakaban for like 16 years I don't think after 16 years of being turtured and evil you'd emerge looking like elizabeth hurley, so unless they're planning on uglying her up, I think they should choose someone else.

She is kind of pretty enough to play Bellatrix but I think of Bellatrix as more of a goth-type of person. Don't know really but I hope she doesn't get the part (I don't mean it in a bad way or anything)

If it is true, I think she would make a fantastic Bellatrix, though I always envisioned Bellatrix with more of a Morgana Adams look and less of a super-modely one. Well, I guess that's where the wonders of make-up artists come in...

I think that she would be suited to play Bellatrix, as Umbridge is described as being short and overweight. Narcissa is only mentioned in passing, and probably would be cut from the film anyway.

That's pretty good. She is a good actress and I could see her as Bellatrix. This is good, they're already talking about OotP!!

Very interesting...they are guessing Bellatrix. Would anyone else have guessed Narcissa Malfoy over Bellatrix -- I've always pictured Narcissa as very beautiful but very evil.

I saw Hurley in my favorite martian as the "bad girl" and she seemed to pull it off pretty well. I hope she gets the part. It will be nice to see a familiar face

I would love to see her as Bella it would be so perfect. She's a decent actress and her physique would totally fit the role I love it!!!

NO! No bloody way, she'd be a horrible Bellatrix! She seriously can't act, to begin with, and just.. ugh. No, she just doesn't fit in the HP world and... no. Just... plain no.

I could see her as Bellatrix. I don't remember what other evil witch she might be. All I know is, she played a pretty good devil in Bedazzled;)

I think she'd be brilliant as Bellatrix, she certainly couldn't be umbridge.

I think she's a great actress but I agree with moonys missus that she wouldn't fit the world of Harry Potter. It would make you think of Bellatrix more as an actress and less as her character.

That's cool. I really don't see her as the good looks been spoiled look, because she is so pretty, but I guess they can make it work with makeup.

I don't think she'd make a good Bellatrix! She's to pretty, when I read the book, I definitely didn't see Bellatrox as pretty. But, whatever....

It's weird but I can actually see her as Bellatrix Lestrange. She has the look for it. I guess we'll see.
