In an interview with Helen McCrory in which she discusses various roles she has done, she brieflymentions
her costume for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which is currently being filmed in the UK.
I play Narcissa Malfoy in the new Harry Potter film. If I told you what I was wearing, I would probably have to kill you; it's a bit like working for MI5. My costume is very couture, with beautifully sculpted silhouettes. The costumes are designed by my Parisian friend. Of course, style was battered into her at an early age.

I think that her costume will be sleek, very classy yet dark ... like 18th century bodices and long skirts. Narcissa Malfoy is very wealthy, so she wouldn't wear the weird rag-like costume that Bellatrix wore in OotP.

Interesting points of view. Of course, we will all see the results soon. I will be interested to see how the effect turns out and how she compares to the book.

I bet the costumes are fabulous.... Narcissa always seemed like a couture kind of girl anyway. Mean and nasty, but always fashionable!

she dosnt look anything like i imagined narcissa in the book. i think she looked more sinister looking and had long straight almost white blonde hair, pail and wore more dark green flowy dress/cloak Things.

I hope what she's talking about isn't what she was wearing in that other picture of her with the blonde hair.
Although the picture was a bit blurry it certainly didn't look couture.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

yeah I agree, that the dress she wore in that picture looked like a simple black dress, so I hope the costmues she's talking about are more elaborate, or possibly the quality of the picture just didn't so the outfit justice. I wasn't overly thrilled with Helen as Narcissa, soley on appearance (I think she is a good actor), but I guess she's growing on me.

Very fitting considering those images that we saw yesterday - 'battered into her' indeed!

I was so excited when I thought Naomi Watts was going to play Narcissa. I am still a little disappointed. Helen is, unfortunately, not how I pictured Narcissa. I really hope she puts her all into this character.

I also thought Naomi Watts would have been perfect! Hopefully things like costuming will help to bring the character to life, as well as hair and makeup. Can't wait to see with my own 2 eyes.

She sounds really down to earth. I don't understand, though-is she going to dye her hair for the movie, or are they having her as a brunette as well as Bellatrix?
