Actress Helena Bonham Carter suggests a new Harry Potter movie is in the works and that she has been filming new scenes as her character Bellatrix Lestrange. The new short movie will be screened exclusively at Harry Potter theme parks.
The last part of the famous franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, was released in July, 2011 as a two-part film adaptation of the seventh and final Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling. Although this was the final book, it appears it won’t be the final movie – a short film is said to be secretly in production right now, and many of the cast were seen at the Warner Bros. Potter Studios in Hertfordshire, UK. One of the most memorable characters in the movie, Lord Voldemort’s loyal servant and sadistic witch, Bellatrix Lestrange, played by Helena Bohnam Carter, will also return in the new release.
The project is still filming in secret, but Carter admitted she would be a part of it, saying that she wasn’t allow to reveal more. Of course, all Harry Potter fans are eager to see their favourite characters on the screen for one last time, but this will probably be possible in a few years, and at very few selected places. The short movie is said be specially filmed for Wizard World Of Harry Potter in Orlando, Fla., and the planned theme park in California, scheduled to open next year. Japan will be also one of the selected with its theme park, scheduled for a 2016 opening.
The short, or as it was called “mini movie”, will come as either an official sequel to the Harry Potter films, or only as a director’s new view of the plot and characters. The author J.K. Rowling however, recently admitted she might write another book but only if she had the right idea. What will happen to Harry and his friends this time, we will be able to find out in a few years when the new project is released. And hopefully, every fan will have the opportunity to see it on the big screen.
