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.

Thats cool...I can kind of see her as Bellatrix. But she is not ugly enought to be Umbrigde. Well, I always thought of Umbridge as a really ugly, foul old hag. It could be because I hated her so much. Well, I guess we'll find out soon enough if the rumor is true or not.

I've got mixed feelings about it. I'm sure she'd do a good job in the role, but I never pictured Bellatrix being that good looking or looking like Elizabeth in any way. I doubt she'll do it though...it's a pretty small part and I don't think she'd want to do it.

Hey everyone, WB just denied Elizabeth Hurley getting casted in Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix. The article is on Mugglenet if anyone is interested.

No truth whatsoever in this rumour. Well I wouldn't have thought she would be best for the part anyway. I can't wait to find out who might be cast though. I wonder...

I just read that she is not in it. The article from TLC says:
A representative for Warner Brothers said today that there is "no truth whatsoever" in the previously reported rumor that model/actress Elizabeth Hurley has been cast in HP5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

I honestly do not think that Liz Hurley can become Bellatrix. I mean there is a possiblity, look at what they turned Charlize Theron into for her movie Monster. I guess anything is possibe but I thought that Bellatrix was a little more on the ugly side than anything else.

I wonder if she would have done any good as Bellatrix? I guess we will never find out. I hope whoever they pick is convincing.

I think she would be a good Bellatrix. She's really good at being "EVIL."

Bellatrix, isn't she too pretty for that role? In the book, Bella is supposed to be this person who although being kept in prison for that amount of time she does not loosse her beauty. Can Ms. Hurley fit in that role? I don't know. But keep up the good work then

I think E. Hurley can play the rol. The make up can make it. If you see the spanish movie The sea inside, you can see how the make up transform Javier Bardem, into an old and ill person.
JK say that Bellatrix was beautiful, so Elisabeth can be a perfect Bella.

I can't really see elizabeth hurley in a HP movie. I don't really think it's her. But i'm sure her look would come out.

I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed. She would be awesome! She will need a lot of movie make-up. She'd bring a lot to the movie. I cannot wait to see OoTP!!

I really don't care for the movies that much because the first one well I didn't care for too much. But I have heard a lot of good things about the third so maybe I will see the next ones.

Liz Hurley would be perfect for the role of Bellatrix Lestrange. She's definately very pretty and thin enough to have been in Azkaban for 14 years.
