With the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince currently in production in the UK, news comes from CBBC Newsround that actress Helen McCrory will portray Narcissa Malfoy in the sixth movie.

You may remember that Ms. McCrory was originally slated to play Bellatrix Lestrange in the fifth movie, Order of the Phoenix, but had to withdraw from filming due to her pregnancy.

Also expect an announcement on who will play young Tom Riddle and Lavender Brown soon.
