Tea for Two?

Helena Bonham Carter Harry Potter fashion corset witch goth

I saw the new Harry Potter movie the other night and would like to put in a request to have a tea party with Bellatrix.  During this tea party, I’d like to rifle through her closet and run around with a pointy hat on.

I also sobbed my eyes out at the end, but knew that would happen so I didn’t wear mascara.  The moral to this story is that I am actually 7 years old and still think that witches are the coolest thing ever.  I know there are more like me out there.  Reveal yourselves.

Don’t mock me.

Edited to Add : I just found F@ck Yeah Helena Bonham Carter, and it went straight into my Google Reader.

    Yes, yes and yes!

    Witches & wizards are the most coolest thing ever and
    I will so TOTALLY join that teaparty! And I will even wear cobwebbs in my hair!

    However, the main reason I cried during the movie was that it was so totally rubbish compared to the book, but I cried loads during the last 2 books!!

    me! I went with my friends the other night and squealed and giggled and cried over the film like any good 26-year-old child. I love Helena Bonham Carter’s Bellatrix, partly because she brings an element of Marla Singer to the film. I keep expecting her to light up a cigarette.

    I also have a thing for Snape, mainly because he reminds me of Trent Reznor. facepalm.

    Guilty. I also want to know her hairdresser and who does her make up

    Yeah, I’m with you, hun.

    I’m totally obsessed with True Blood, so apparently I’m still 13 and angsty. Vampires and witches for ever, man!

    I right there with you, I keep waiting for my owl to appear with my belated invitation to Hogwarts!

    Young Snape played by Trent Reznor? Hmmmm…(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs-bP94CzW8)…ahem, sorry about the video non sequitur.

    That said, I wouldn’t do magic in a corset, waist-cincher, or anything that even remotely constricts the diaphragm in a way to negate thunderous intoning. But I’d totally steal that kimono she’s got on in the pic.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one fawning over her wardrobe. I mentione the wardrobe to friends after the film and no one who saw it remembered what she was wearing! I seriously need to get a new group of friends ;)

    If I hadn’t completely quit all things HP after the last book, I’d SO wanna hang out with Bellatrix.

    Heck, a part of me still wants to. :D

  12. Penny Dreadful Says:

    I still love my Emerald the Witch doll.

  13. Nadia Says:

    Oh yes, I thought all the Death Eaters had wandered straight from the catwalk. The killer heels! The killer shoulders! It was wonderful.

    And here’s proof how much of a HP nerd I am:

    Dumbledore died of course I cried, he was a such an amazing man. McGonagall’s cloak was to die for!

  15. Lady Lavona Says:

    Oh yes, her outfits are great! And I’m right there with ya sister…witches are the coolest! That’s why I decided to be one when I grew up! And I am! Trouble is finding other cool witches to hang out with. There’s so many dorky pagan, crushed velvet clad witches. The mainstream has deemed Fiona Horne to be a “hip witch” she has a barbed wire tattoo and fake tits…I won’t even go there though…

    definitley. your not alone :P

    Jenna – I feel dirty now.

    Ok…I admit it… I play wow and my favorite alt is a warlock. Why? Not because it’s the best spec or anything but I have always had a fascination with witchcraft, magic, etc and well the ability to be evil and steal soul shards for conjuring minions is just so fucking rad. I’m the kid that dressed up as a witch for Halloween five years in a row…there is something about the characters in literature and entertainment that posses magically ability, especially when they practice dark magic that is utterly fascinating. Maybe someday I’ll discover I’m not a muggle after all but until then I’ll be powning bitches and consuming all the magical macabre media I can get my hands on.

    I will join you! Not only do I love Potter but I’ve been big into the fandom on other online networks- writing fanfic, drawing pictures, the lot! I love HBC’s Bella costume but she’s not Bella by a long-shot for me both in looks and attittude.

    I didn’t cry at all during HBP, in fact I was rarely moved at all. I cried for 3 days when Dumbledore died in the book- he’s my favourite character, I thought I’d wail buckets at seeing it on the big screen, but no- and I was even pms-ing! It’s like the whole movie was on Valium. Looked perdy though!

  21. Lissa Says:

    I too am like you, love witches, read all the Potter books, saw the movie recently and loved it!! Would never mock you!!!

  22. Arissa Says:

    I totally sobbed my eyes out too. Bellatrix is one crazy bitch.

  23. Kel Says:

    I went to the midnight showing dressed as Bellatrix.

    I am also sick of people telling me earnestly, ‘you know that whole Harry Potter magic thing isn’t real’ (no shit) to which I naturally respond “of course. As if I would be a muggle’
