With the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince currently in production in the UK, news comes from CBBC Newsround that actress Helen McCrory
will portray Narcissa Malfoy in the sixth movie.
You may remember that Ms. McCrory was originally slated to play Bellatrix Lestrange in the fifth movie, Order of the Phoenix, but had to withdraw from filming due to her pregnancy.
Also expect an announcement on who will play young Tom Riddle and Lavender Brown soon.

The casting can never be as bad as Mrs. Figg, seriously, what the hell was that? Did they not read the book?
I guess we'll have to wait and see how she portrays Narcissa, definitely wigs, makeup and haughty attitude.
p.s, it's not so much that i want Lavender Brown casting news, I NEED IT! I can't wait to see who she is! Hopefully she will be perfect, Lavender's character is hilarious.

Not really how I imagined her. She should be playes by a fragile blond with a slightly pointed nose... If she plays her, then they should definitey make her blonde! I hope she will prove to be a good choice. :)

Hmm... I guess it's fine. But her face looks too sweet (like for a really kind and good person...like Molly for example).
But we'll see :P

She is going to be great. She's going to play perfect for Narcissia.

Helen McCrory?? i don't even know her. This is my first time to hear about her so i really have no idea or basis for my judgement. although i don't picture as anything like narcissa malfoy. i just hope that she will play a very good narcissa.
i hope that Christian Coulson will still play young tom riddle.

She'd been approached for Bellatrix's role earlier. So it makes sense that they are having her play Bella's sister's role now. But, somehow, I feel Naomi Watts or Tilda Swinton would've suited the role better.

All I gotta say is that she had better dye her hair blond.

... Well, I don't know about her being Narcissa, but I'm optimistic overall. I can't wait until they announce LAVENDER. Goooosh. They are taking too long.

She looks like she will be a wonderful Narissa. I think Helena was a better choice for Bellatrix anyway. Can't wait to see it!

I think they're going to have to do a lot of makeup work on her to get her to fit the role. She just doesn't seem to fit the part, although I've never seen her acting abilities.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

I just googled her and some of the pictures are not very good in quality so it doesn't really help. Goodluck with her though! she's going to have to really work it

Hmm. This is exciting news, but I liked the rumors of Naomi Watts playing Narcissa. Ah well, if she was cast, I guess she's good! :) Can't wait for Lavender and Tom to be announced!! :)

Wasn't Naomi Watts supposed to play Cissa? I think she'd have been a better choice. Not because she's blonde,but because I've already seen her on the screen and I think she's a good actress. And I hadn't even heard of Helen until now.
Oh well,I hope Helen makes a good Narcissa - I love the Malfoys and I guess she'll have to work hard to shine next to Jason Isaacs and Tom Felton.

All good...But, she doesn't look like a Malfoy. Mrs. Malfoy should look very sinister or a person of evil.

I'm excited and curious how Helen McCrory will portray Narcissa Malfoy. I hope she will be arrogant and presumptuous as she described in the books.

I'm good with her as long as they make her a wig with Cissy's trademark long blonde hair.

That is really not what I pictured Narcissa to look like. I thought she would have long blonde hair, a pointed nose stuck up in the air....you know, more like a Malfoy.

I do not want to judge her before looking at her credentials. But I am sure she can work something out.

Well, she looks kinda petite and pale. Stick a blond wig on her, give her a pale faced, blond headed hubby to hang on to and I think she'll pass admirably. Anything is possible.

Wow, they must have REALLY liked her if they basically held a part for her! I wonder how she will look as a blond, as she is supposed to not look like Bellatrix as much as she does now.
Hopefully we hear word today about the other parts!

I've actually seen her as a blonde in Casanova. but i guess being Narcissa Malfoy she has to be white blonde almost silverish kind of blonde. I really hope she does a great job! i'm going to have very high expectations for her
