I have to wonder whether this type of story is actually news. I mean when actors/actresses’ are in a franchise like Harry Potter then we always expect them to return and it’s only really news when they pull out isn’t it?

Oh well, I guess if your a Potter fan you want to be kept informed of what’s going on. The Independent has word that Helena Bonham Carter is the first outside of the big three to be confirmed as returning for the 6th installment of the Harry Potter franchise.

She will reprise her role as Bellatrix Lestrange for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince due out in theatres on November 21st, 2008, with filming to commence in two months time.

They are really rushing these movies out now to accomodote Daniel Radcliffe and his rapidly aging looks. A worry for any Potter fans?
