Bonham Carter to be filmed in HBP in Feb. 2008

In an interview with IESB, where they were promoting their upcoming film, Sweeney Todd, Harry Potter actors Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), and Alan Rickman (Severus Snape), mentioned a few tidbits about the series.

Helena, who will be giving birth to her second child in two weeks, was asked about future film projects. She was quoted at saying she will be, "breast feeding in time for the filming of Harry Potter 6 in February 2008." She also mentions the fame that the Harry Potter films have brought her, and says that, "it's made me very popular with kids although they all seem to be scared of me."

Alan Rickman, who rarely discusses his work in the franchise, does give a couple of comments about rumours related to the series. He laughed at the idea of a Harry Potter musical, jokingly asking, "who is shoving that around?" Alan also makes a small remark about adult Harry Potter sites around the internet, though, thankfully, not in great detail.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street will be released in theatres on December 21, 2007; and Half-Blood Prince will be out November 21, 2008.
