Helen played Draco's mother in the Harry Potter franchise, and has a pivotal role in the finale. Without spoiling anything for the few who have not seen the movie, her character displays a lot of emotions, and says so much without saying much of anything in a pulse pounding scene during the climactic battle. The funny thing is that she was originally cast in an earlier Potter film as Bellatrix Lestrange, but she became pregnant and had to bow out. That part of course went to Helena Bonham Carter.
There is no word yet on which role she'll be playing in the latest Bond film.
Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes has been finalising his cast for the new James Bond movie and it includes classically trained star Helen McCrory and French beauty Berenice Marlohe as the latest Bond girl.
Ms Marlohe has screen tested for Mendes at Pinewood Studios and met with approval.

Ben Whishaw and Ms McCrory have as yet unspecified roles.
McCrory was Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter pictures.
She was also in Twelfth Night and Uncle Vanya, Mendes's final productions at the Donmar Warehouse - as was Simon Russell Beale, who had been in discussions about taking a role in Bond 23 until scheduling got in the way.
