Helen McCrory Talks Narcissa Malfoy

Helen McCrory recently appeared on BBC Radio's "Woman Hour" where she briefly discussed her role as Narcissa Malfoy in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Although she does state in the interview that she can say "practically nothing" about the film she does talk about Narcissa's wand:

"I get a wand. And somebody comes up to you on the set with a wand in a box. You literally use the wand and then it’s put back into the box and it’s taken away… and put in a safe. So, using a wand is no light thing.”

McCrory goes on to discuss her character's wardrobe:

"There is a fantastic designer called Jany who is Parisian and, of course, has more style in her little finger than most of us will have in our entire life. And she has designed… it’s very high couture, what I am wearing, which is wonderful. It’s all 50s and very hourglass and pencil skirts and very, very chic.”

Helen McCrory Talks Narcissa Wardrobe

The Times Online has published a new interview with Helen McCrory, in which the actress talks about her wardrobe as Narcissa Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

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.

However, the other day some set pictures of the actress in costume appeared online. They weren't the best, but they did give you the general idea.
