Help me out with Bellatrix, please!

[Sydney Rawson H6]

So... I am borrowing the idea from Astrid (( hope you don't mind )) to ask your opinion on avatars for a cannon I am planning on creating, Bellatrix. I do adore Helena as Bella, she is an amazing actress; however, I don't feel like my Bellatrix would be played with that type of look.

I promised that Bella to be made a few weeks ago -_- , but I always get stuck when I am filing out her appearance in the biography because I know what Helena looks like, and what the Bellatrix in my mind from reading the books looks like, and also what the lexicon believes what she looks like. My mind is in a jam!

So, here I am reaching out for help.
With the timeline 4houses is playing on right now, Bella would be 50-51 years old..... which is extremely difficult to find pictures of someone that age who resembles Bella- but I'm going to try my hardest. Maybe she'll end up looking 10 years younger? or maybe I'll just use the Helena.

Opinions please--

Nicole Kidman



Monica Bellucci



Selma Blair



Rose McGowan



Tarja Turnuen


OR......


Helena Bonham Carter

There's something bout Nicole Kidman that seems to be screaming Bellatrix's name toward me. I think it might be the facial expression and makeup... And also, I think she matched Bellatrix better. She looks like the lethal seductress I know her to be better than the others.

I hope I helped a bit!

I'm a Helena fan big time for Bellatrix, however if you really want to change the face the only suitable one I see would be Kidman.

I'd have to agree with the others so far, I'd pick Nicole Kidman at lest that last picture you have of her.

[Finn Miles H7]

Definite no to Monica and Selma. The others could all work. Can't really say I prefer one over the others.

[Ariane Chan]

I think Nicole or Helena. ^^

I adore Bella, and I've always always adored Helena as her. Because of that I can't really see anyone else portraying Bella... if I had to, I'd agree with the others and say Nicole. But I can't say I'd prefer her over Helena BC. (:

[Sydney Rawson H6]

You see, I do adore Helena as Bellatrix but I don't see me playing her. ((I don't believe I'm good enough to play her.)) If I made Bella my own, I could probably make do with that... maybe I'm just nervous. I think I'm going to start out as Helena, and if it doesn't work I'll switch up the Nicole.

Thank you all for you opinions. You did definitely help me along.

[Ariane Chan]

No problemo, Heather. Can't wait to see Bella in action! I'm very excited about more and more main canons coming into play... Imagine if others such as Lavendar, Ernie, Hannah, Ginny, etc. were brought back too? Wowee~ :D

[Ivy Tunstall]

Oh, Ernie and Hannah! That would be so great. It'd be great to have Noko back with Ernie...

We killed off Parvati though, so Lavender might get a bit lonely.

And by the way, I agree with everyone else. Helena and Nicole are the best. I'm really happy that you're going to be playing Bellatrix!
