Why Bellatrix Lestrange Was So Unstable
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2020
- Has anyone ever wondered what exactly was going on with Bellatrix Lestrange? What was happening inside her head? Why was she so evil? Voldemort aside, I can’t think of another character from Harry Potter who was as sadistic, cold hearted and downright cruel as Bellatrix was. Her devotion to the dark lord unlocked her deadly potential. She was literally the female counterpart of Lord Voldemort. It always made me wonder what her line of thinking was? Why she thought like that and equally as important how did she become the vicious unstable death eater we all know her to be. Was she always destined for darkness? Or did she have a chance at a different life? In todays video I am going to delve into the life of Bellatrix Lestrange and get to the route of her evil behaviour and really try to see life from her point of view.

Don’t you just get the feeling that Helena Bonham Carter had absolute fun playing that role? She is such an awesome character actress
Soling106
I can't believe a person like Helena Bonham Carter a person who plays the nice mother of Charlie from Charlie and the chocolate factory could play a crazy woman like bellatrix
No-one does stark starring bonkers quite like Helena
Oh she said she had a blast and she prefers playing these types of characters.
Serah Olivia I'm sure she did. She genuinely looks like she had a lot of fun :>
- CloudyQuartz - I know right and the kind hearted Queen Mary!
4:56 "Bellatrix even hated half-bloods" Oh the irony in that sentence considering who she works for 😂
I know right 😂😂
Woop D. Woop and she is in love with Lord Voldemort.
@@haylihill7041 Which makes it even more hilarious in my mind xD
Was thinking the same. Imagine how quick she would've turned on voldmort if she knew.
@@claudiam4500 Dude! That could be an interesting theory to talk about! It does make me wonder what would happen if Bellatrix found out that the Dark Lord she adored so much was a half-blood
“I can’t think of another character from Harry Potter who was as sadistic, cruel and evil and Bellatrix”
Dolores Umbitch: Ahem, Ahem
UMBITCH LMAO
I must not tell lies
umbitch was a different type of crazy. i can go all day watching bellatrix be off the wall insane but holy fuçk i cant even stare at umbridge longer than 3 mins.
Anyone else hear "Ahem, Ahem" in her voice and immediately be filled with rage?
I will have order
Bellatrix: hates half bloods, muggle burns, and muggles.
Voldemort: half blood
Also Bellatrix: loves Voldemort
Because Bellatrix is kinda a female version of Voldemort
I dont think bellatrix knew, though if she did she probably didnt care since Voldemort hated his father and started the whole "kill all mudbloods and muggles" in the first place
He's a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. Doesn't matter
Bellatrix: filthy Half Blood!
Voldemort: *cries inside
Omg so true tho
Was about to say it, no better example of the Half Blood prejudice being bs than him.
He got what he deserved 😂😂😂
@@eunahjang and so did she lmao
Voldemort: Bellatrix what side are you on here💢
“Voldemort aside, I can’t think of anyone who was as sadistic, cold hearted and cruel as Bellatrix was.”
Umbridge: Am I a joke to you?
Edit: WOW! I definitely wasn’t expecting this many likes on a comment. Thanks everyone!
Literally my thoughts.
Okay Donnie that’s what I was thinking lol
Umbridge is lawful evil, and Bellatrix is chaotic evil. While Umbridge is definitely evil, she wasn't a Death Eater and most times managed to hide it and act like a normal human. Belatrix? Not so much, she was totally insane.
How about Fenrir Greyback. He literally enjoys eating children or cursing them with Lycanthropy 🤷♂️
Leon Brooks Bellatrix was on the same level of depraved as Greyback, hell, if not worse. While she wasn’t a werewolf, she was willing to offer up any sons she had to Voldemort. While Greyback positioned himself near children (gross) he gives the victim the choice to become his next meal or be a werewolf.
Short answer:she didn’t get mommy and daddy’s love
Exactly.
Like Voldemort
how dare you
@@emmeraldd-chan7294 *Oh shes angry-*
@@angieyonaga3278 right
What I loved about Helena's portrayal of Bellatrix is that shes not actually insane, but just pure evil.
Shes more psychotic than mentally crazy, and i think Helena pulled that thin line off perfectly
The main difference between umbridge and bellatrix is that umbridge tried to hide her true self whereas bellatrix never hid who she truly was
and shes just less overall annoying
Chaotic evil versus lawful evil
self confident queen
One is a loyal attack dog. The other one is a career politician with no moral compass or principles.
Bellatrix never had to hide who she was, although her views were questionable they were still acceptable as they were at some level still normal. She came from a powerful family with money so that was something she didn’t have to hide either. She didn’t have anything to be ashamed about. She grew up with pride on who she was, pride on her blood purity, pride on her philosophy, pride on her loyalty and even pride on her proudness.
Umbridge didn’t have anything to be embarrassed of either, but she thought she did, as her family was not a known name, nor did she have money. She thought her father being a janitor and her mom and brothers being muggles was something she had to hide. However, her hiding her true background and life is what made her dangerous, because by spending years pretending is what thought her how to lie, how to manipulate, and how to seem innocent when needed.
“She was Black hearted” what do you want her to be? Weasley-hearted lol?
Isnt weasley-hearted a more fancy way of saying your heart is red? ;)
*dies of laughter*
Paola Ramirez yep
Points to whatever House you're in, dearie!
Danielle M Hall hufflepuff!
That scene with Belatrix and Hermione gives me the chills every time
When (I think) she was writing mudblood on hermione she bent down and it looked like she was sucking her blood. I thought she was a werewolf when I first watched that seem lol
I was wondering what she was doing to her 🤔
I honestly can’t watch that scene no matter how many times I’ve seen the movie. Even though she just writes mud blood on her arm. The darkness and evilness in that scene just gives me chills like you said
That’s when I realized how truly cruel and evil Bellatrix really was
And I feel bad for laughing about it…
What’s wrong with me???
(When it’s in the movies,I don’t laugh,but when it’s separate,I laugh every time😭)
"Nobody is a villain in their own story." - George R. R. Martin
And everybody is a villain in another persons story
She always was but Azkaban just helped bringing out her insanity.
*not turned, more of a slight veer*
That's what I thought too. She was naturally crazy and loved it.
right, i mean, what does over a decade in prison do to anyone?
Agreed…even Sirius came out of Azkaban a bit loopy…but that’s what being locked up for a long time does to you! 😂👍
@@sorrynotsorryxoxo Azkaban isn't prison, it's literal hell on earth.
Helena Bonham Carter said she felt “honored” to be killed by Julie Walters (Molly Weasley).
@lygophile Same. Most of my disappointment was because Bellatrix was one of the most feared Death Eaters while Molly was a housewife.. and while I'm not disparaging the role of a homemaker, I just doubt that someone who didn't seem to take part in the previous war and focused most if not all of her time on her large family would have the time to become an accomplished duelist/fighter. Honestly it sort of takes a big ol' dump on the idea that there's a difference in "power" between witches/wizards.
@@XxHizzyxX wasn't Molly a member of the first Order too??
Hiz Oku ...... Molly Weasley was a homemaker. She was passionate about her family. She took Hermione and Harry under her wing. They became part of the family when they were very young(and became SIL and DIL when they were older).
There is a lot to be said for Mama Bear. Molly had it big time. She was fighting for a cause and a future. Bellatrix was just fighting, with a future of more fighting. Molly had the edge.
Vivie Telemnar nope, as far as I know both she and Arthur stayed out of the first war which is understandable given that they had a house full of young children.
Amethyst Anne I’m sure that that is the lore friendly answer but it just isn’t a satisfying explanation for me when spell casting in Harry Potter universe seems to rely mainly on knowledge and skill.
When i first read about Bellatrix in Goblet of Fire, i knew she was deadly and not scared of anything. She was proud to tell the Ministry she tortured Neville's parents and wasn't afraid to go to Azkaban, she was proud to serve Voldemort even after he "died". From this moment on i knew she was insane and cruel, she enjoys being evil and doesn't regret it. That's why she's so sadistic and evil, and also the love for Voldemort fuels her cruelity.
Being locked up in Azkaban for nearly two decades probably did not help her mental state.
Where did she get a wand from when she broke out?
I remember watching Harry Potter as a kid and being obsessed with Bellatrix’s wardrobe! Goth QUEEN!!!!
Bellatrix is probably the best female villain ever created, she needs her own movie series where she’s the main antagonist
Mac Welch I agree very much and also umbridge was very very VERY well written
well yes she is a good villain a VERY good villain but she’s not the best female villain that’s a bit too far
Watch sisters of house black
Peggy hill was worse
@@dmurphy915 Nah... Junie Harper is worse
Andromeda and Sirius turned out fine. She chose her life.
I know ima be hated on but I love that Umbridge was added to the story even tho u hate the character
Jeremy Brooks so did regulas (sort of... took a little while, but oh well)
i still love regulus! (: he's so cute to kreacher, narcissa turned out good too (:
Regulus as well ❤
Agree with the point you're making but not sure Sirius turned out 'fine'. He wasn't evil but he also seemed pretty unstable. (Sirius is one of my favorite characters, incidentally.)
“Voldemort aside, I can’t think of anyone who was as sadistic, cold hearted and cruel as Bellatrix was.”
What about Fenrir Greyback? He delighted in turning children into werewolves .
And also ate people just cause he found it fun. When werewolves rarely had if not at all urges to eat human flesh
Dude was a straight up cannibal who hunted children specifically just to either mess up their life (by turning them into a werewolf, an outcast in the wizard society) or eat them just to get at their parents.
Agreed. Fenrir Greyback was a straight-up menance to all Wizardkind and even to Muggles, especially for infecting Remus Lupin and the technically non-canon character Chiara Lobosca and maybe even the Muggle Scarlett Sparks and who knows how many others with Lycanthropy just because he could.
I don't know if Azkaban would have been strong enough to contain Greyback before the jailbreak.
*"I cannot think of a character from Harry Potter that is as sadistic, cold-hearted, and downright cruel as Bellatrix was."*
Me: *UmBrIdGe*
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES!
Bellatrix was Voldemort's most loyal Death Eater by a landslide. She is the ONLY one who suspected Snape to be on Dumbledore's side. Not only that, she also desired Voldemort, she was obsessed with him. When a person develops a crush or desire for someone, they begin to 'mirror' them, to imitate their behaviour. In numerous cases, when you see a person you respect talking in a room, you later notice you both are sitting in the same position (legs crossed, arms folded etc.).
Bellatrix simply wanted to be like Voldemort. When Voldemort was absent, she took control of the situation, became the boss in the room and gave orders and imitated Voldemort's cruelty.
However with Voldemort present, she displayed him her loyalty, she was willing to be his slave. It's 2 completely opposite personalities in 1 person. It would drive anyone to insanity.
nice xd
He would have killed her anyway.
I mean, if we take Cursed Child into account, she loved him enough for Delphi to exist
Its true but the fact that she loved him the way he looked after his return. I mean before his death if I squint I could see it. After his resurgence he'll now. Azkaban must have messed with her eye sight also.
You make a good point. Obsessive love is a kind of insanity. And I think Bella wants to please her Dark Lord more than anyone else.
While Bellatrix was evil, she held no candle to Professor Umbridge. I can handle crazy all day, it's the ones that act like Umbridge that gets me riled.
Lol, how? Umbridge didn't torture Neville's parents to insanity. Umbridge wasn't a Death Eater(knowingly). Umbridge was very bad, but Bellatrix was 100x worse.
@@anthonygarcia9175 umbridge is THE WORST. period
Bellatrix is all up front about her crazy. Unbridgeable attempts to hide hers under a false and misleading veneer of niceties, pink warm colors when she is just as bad as Bellatrix. B gets my respect as a "baddie" for her boldness and surety of evil, there's no guess work. U is pretty like a colorful venomous animal, admire her surroundings, clothings style, color palate, but underneath she's venemous, dark and you really have to dig down and see her for she truly is. I've know people like U in my life and trust me when I say I'd rather deal with outright crazy evil than hidden evil under a false exterior of love and warmth which she attempts to hide from others. To me, she's worse than Voldemort. Also, and this is an aside, I'm an empathic Scorpio so I deal with these sorts of things on a level most can't get to mentally or emotionally.
Truth!!!!
Umbridge was judging muggle born people as stealers and condemning them to a life without soul by a dementors' kiss... They are both evil but Umbridge hides it and therefore makes it even worst. She is a métaphore for all evil hide in supposedly good intentions.
Bellatrix was one of my favorite characters in the Harry Potter movies, Helena did such a good job.
Bellatrix: “Filthy half-bloods!”
Her own DAUGHTER: **cries in baby talk**
Technically, that’s a three quarters blood
I don't care what anyone says, Bella is attractive.
I agree!!!!
Freaking hot man
And a more attractive Bella than Bella Swan by far.
Indeed
I agree
This immediately falls apart when you know Sirius is from the same family.
And Andromeda (who married muggle-born Ted Tonks) is her sister.
No, she's simply a magically adept psychopath. Nothing more, nothing less.
I disagree with her destiny being written for her, in spite of her parents strong teaching on maintaining blood purity in the family. She still made the choice to buy into it, so she chose her own path to being the pshychopath she is. If Sirius Black, being in the same family and sitting under the same teaching, even with the threat of being disowned, kicked out, and stricken from the family tree, could still reject it, then Bellatrix was just as capable.
How does it fall apart? She made the choice to follow her family’s teachings to the extreme. Sirius and Andromeda chose to rebel to the point of disownment. Regulus and Narcissa chose to follow their family’s teachings but not extremely. They all thought they were doing the right things from their points of view. He’s not saying Bellatrix had no choice. He is showing some of the reasons why she made her choices as she did.
She killed tonks aka her niece
Just a quick disclaimer here. Psychopaths are born and Sociopaths are made. You do not become a psychopath. You have to be born one. Psychopaths can neither feel any kind of emotions and only do things for their own benefits. Sociopaths on the other hand, do crazy shit in order to please something or someone whom or with they've invested a lot of emotions into. Voldemort is a Psychopath and Bellatrix is a Sociopath.
Imagine if the true threat would be Bellatrix and Umbridge joining forces. I think theyd both give Voldemort a run for his money 😅
oh god please no...
lowkey want to write a one-shot on this...
@@heavenbackwards3970 if you do please send a link! 😂
@@saucypotatoes1136 Bellatrix would kill Umbridge
“I can’t think someone in the Harry Potter film as evil as Voldemort”
Umbrige: “disturbing cough”
“Hmh hmh”
Bellatrix: YOU FILTHY HALF BLOOD!
Also Bellatrix: Lord Voldemort is the only exception hehe
lol
yas
It’s the Hitler complex
Yeah, I've wondered how she deals with that in her head... the cognitive dissonance....
Bellatrix is my favourite villain, but I always wanted to know if there was anything that triggered her dark side and if there was maybe a nicer side to her
She was brought up to believe that the only good wizards were pureblood wizards. Look at what happened to Sirius and Andromeda when they acted against the family views: blasted off the family tree and shunned by the family.
Idk if this is a nice side, but she ws extremely loyal to Voldemort. She NEVER betrayed him when the other death eaters did.
Hate is a very powerful & negative evil. If one is determined to engage in hate it eats away at one's soul and causes one to become manic.
Fairy Godmother is her nice side
@@RestlessRebel lmao
I LOVE YOU'RE USING THE FAN FILMS!!! its such a great way to show lore moments that werent on the big screen but are still such well made pieces.
Bellatrix:
*"You filthy half blood!"*
Also Bellatrix: "Excuse me, my lord!"
Thank you so much for using Sisters of House Black clips!!
THANK YOU so much for making it
I really enjoyed it @Kelsey Ellison, thank you!
the short film was amazing!!!
I really liked that movei
could've fooled me if you had said it was official and canon, was really incredible, easily able to hold up to the main series.
The funny thing is that the dark lord is a half blood yet she loves him
She literally refused to believe that. How ironic
And bore his child
@@dylangarcia3898 we do not speak of Enob- I mean Delphi
@@dylangarcia3898 the cursed child isn't canon. Most true fans agree especially because it conflicts with the original series.
@@anthonye9496 What the fuck is a false fan? Honestly, it's pathetic to draw lines and conclusions on matters that isn't the fans to conclude. I've personally never seen The Cursed Child, nor do I intend to, but this entire true fan/false fan bullshit is like taking a well baked cake and then proceed to take a piss and a massive dump in the bakers face. If J. K. Rowling has approved it, it's canon. If you don't like that, then you can go ahead and write your own story. This kind of separation is something kindergarten kids do. Not something adult human beings do. Get your shit together. Rant over.
I was disappointed at how little Andromeda was explored. She had the exact same upbringing as Bellatrix, but made her own path in life, marrying outside her family's wishes and was exiled, same as Sirius.
It must have taken the hair and makeup lady on set ages to get Bellatrix's hair that insane, even if most of it was a wig. My hair looks like that every day when I wake up. Sometimes even after combing and styling, it doesn't change. Thank goodness for hair ties
Lmao!! 💓💓💓
I feel more bad for the dementors guarding her
Ethan Lin lMaO
Instead of Dementors sucking her happiness, she made them devastated
@@sarakhawar1221 they tried to suck her happiness. Then they saw what makes her happy, and backed off.
Oop- Im pretty sure she had no happiness like that
"Hey..hey you there...yeah you, with that ugly bunch or rags...fetch me a coffee, will ya?'
(Slow breath) _Aren't you the witch that..._ _...aren't you that follower of Voldemort?_
" *HOW DARE YOU SPEAK HIS NAME WITH YOUR FILTHY GAPING HOLE! HOW DARE YOU!* "
And with a sad face the Dementor leaves and sucks some souls out to feel better again.
Bellatrix was from the house of black, she was oldest of her sister, she was married to someone she didn’t love, she had an obsessive personality, she was in love with Voldemort and she spent time in Azkaban.
It is a recipe for disaster.
I appreciate you sourcing the fanmade videos!
Thanks for showing some empathy. These are hard times in the real world and we don't have to sympathize, we really don't, but to understand and change the world for the better for real, we need to try to empathize a lot more. Good job on this.
All I have to hear to get in a bad mood is “I killed Sirius Black!”
*s a m e*
i get in a good mood when i hear it 😭
@@pimpcess.7687 .__________________.
Dude same. I wanna punch something.
Be feeling sorry for her but as soon as she say that I hate her guts
Honestly part of me wonders why Bellatrix never ended up trying to make any horcruxes too. I'm very surprised she never even attempted one tbh she certainly killed enough people
Voldemort probably did NOT teach her how to make a horcrux.
Only HE can be immortal.
Only a few knew about Horcruxes and she's most likely one of them.
Voldemort was about power and infamy. I think Bellatrix’s claim to fame had more to do with just being a loyal soldier. She just needed a simple purpose, not a master plan.
She probably had no interest. That and to be able to make horcruxes would make her on par with Voldemort, which would turn him against her - something that would be too egregious for her to stomach.
@@angeyuki145 Oouuu I like your perspective
Alright it's time to put an original comment on this video that no one has ever thought of... I got it! At 1:17 he says "Voldemort aside I can't think of anyone as evil as bellatrix" umbridge: clears her throat
Absolutely amazing video, really enjoyed it and it was really interesting learning about her😊
honestly she’s so badass but insane but it’s so amazing. i love it. i can’t forgive her for killing sirius or dobby but she’s downright a badass.
@Hedwigs Sirius was a great character and so was dobby the house elf on Harry potter and they're played by two fantanisc actors named Toby Lewis & Gary oldman who by the way is worth 2000000000000MILLION THOUNSAND $ AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TOBY LEWIS IS WORTH PROBABLY AROUND 21$ OR 39$ IDK YOU Might have to look it up for your self until next time I'm Nathaniel Hawthorne signing off.
She also killed Tonks, who was her niece
She killed a lot of people, but I feel the same way she's such a badass bitch
Are you saying that being a bad ass and killing people is admirable?
Dumbledore summed up her demeanor when discussing his death with Snape;
"...or dear Bellatrix, who likes to play with her food before she eats it."
That's a good video. I love how you made it. Belatrix is such a strange & Nasty character. Someone should write a song about her
Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to defend my love for Bellatrix for years now. It's not her cruelty or unkindness i am in awe of. It's her character, her strength, her loyalty. Her crimes are unforgivable, no doubt. But she portrays perfectly what effect family has on our minds.
Family effects can be surmounted as is best shown by her own cousin Sirius Black.
Finally, I recognise that Bellatrix is an exceptionally powerful witch however, I fail to see what you or anyone else can love about her. Loving Bellatrix is equivalent to stating you condone any atrocity provided the person committing the atrocities is a highly powerful and toxic psychopath. You can admire the writing prowess of JK Rowling in creating this character, however. May be that is what you implied.
she is literally the coolest villain ever and Helena Bonham Carter played her in the most amazing way. i LOVE her
Same. My daughter's middle name is Bella in her honor 🥰
What's so cool about her? She's completely hysterical and didn't even do anything during whole plot, except attacking kids, backstabbing Sirius and screaming "My Lord".
@sunderland666 because Helena Bonham Carter played the role perfectly and it made a lot of fans love the character. The same could be said about anakin/Vader. All he does is destroy the world, kill younglings and say "Luke, I am your father" yet star wars fans love him.
Some times a villain is played perfectly and become loved characters because of the actor/actress portraying them. I didn't love Bellatrix in the books but the way Helena plays her is incredible
@@usmcwhtmike1 Well yeah, if you judge it like that.. I was just looking from character arc perspective and there is none. It's a bit weird comparing her to Anakin, that developed throughout 6 freaking movies from small child to successful jedi to heartbroken young man to villain feared throughout galaxy to android that got redemption before death. Not taking into account whole set of cartoon series.
Meanwhile Bellatrix stared madly into camera and yelled. That's it.
@sunderland666 difference is anakin is a main character that needs a character arc to keep you invested. Bellatrix is a supporting villain. Character arc is not as important, especially since the goal wasn't for her to be redeemed . She's always a villain and dies a villain.
Because Bellatrix is “Voldemort’s female counterpart,” and also extremely loyal to him, could she be called LADY Voldemort aka the Dark Lady?
I’ve always secretly called her that
no it’s unbridgeable
Brooke Purvis you mean umbridge?
That would be Sylvanas Windrunner, there is no other Dark Lady.
Yes.
I really love this...You have a talent please keep making these
Bellatrix killing people:
Snaps walks in:
Bellatrix: what do you want?
Snape: I have something to say
Bellatrix: say it
Snape: roses are red violets are blue I thought Voldemort was ugly but then I saw you
Bellatrix: AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!!!
Bellatrix is one of the best characters in Harry Potter, she's interesting and always brings great moments to the screen/books.
Personally, I believe that while training her in the Dark Arts, Voldemort also brainwashed her, teaching her how to feel pleasure when using dark spells or "programming" her to be slavishly devoted to him.
BTW I love your videos so much, literally some of the best Harry Potter content here on YT!
She liked torturing and killing people who stood in the way of The Dark Lord & Lady
To me bellatrix has the potential of having possibly the saddest backstory of the Harry Potter series
Ironic how she gave her absolute devotion and loyalty to a half-blood.
Bellatrix reminds me of the line from suicide squad "she's crazier than him more ruthless" which is ironic because of the similaritys between the joker harley relationship
Very informative!
I believe there’s this thing called the *Hereditary Black Family Insanity* .
This trait skipped over Andromeda and Sirius, possibly even Regulus, but definitely infected Bellatrix
It also skipped Narcissa
lol
You know she was the oldest in her generation, so it only got her
I think it hit Narcissa, Sirius and Regulus, too, just milder cases... BECAUSE they found someone they loved, who loved them back. Bellatrix didn't get loved back, and that made all the difference. A spectrum, just like a lot of cognitive issues.
@@vlook4413 i totally agree with you. I feel that Sirius seemed a little bit nutty in the books. He treated Kreacher abysmally, and well known to bully Snape. Azkaban heightened his manic and mad tendencies for sure.
"sadistic, evil and cruel" ... um umbridge? lol
Thx
Luci Young I much prefer the chaotic evil over the lawful evil
Had to scroll thru the comments to make sure someone said it.. niceeeeee
bellatrix resembles what umbridge was underneath. umbridge was just smarter and sophisticated, hiding her evil by using her authority to exercise her power and making it look like she's just trying to reform the school. bellatrix lacks the brains and is just in your face, over the top crazy deranged sadist, what you see is what you get. they're both the same inside, only one wears a disguise, the other doesn't
Awesome video Dean!
This was a great video i enjoyed this perspective on Bellatrix she was my favorite Harry Potter character.
Honestly in the books she was pretty unstable but I never pictured her as being batshit insane like they portrayed her in the movies.
Literally, I hate the movie portrayal it took away everything about her character and they ruined her relationship with Voldemort to make her more sympathetic I guess
Agreed, personally i love the way she was showed in the movies but i think it was a bit more exaggerated in the films than in the books
@@rubenmanukyan9337 she is way more entertaining
i was a huge fan of the books, but when i see her in the movie i was stunned. she is BATSHIT crazy and its the first time i ever see such a character... acted by a woman. I live in pretty conservative country and she shattered my world view as a kid because apparently women also can be stunningly beautiful while commiting such heinous act! I never know it is possible!
She wears all black, fashionable dress, she is beautiful, but get this, she didn't have to act all proper mother like! she laugh like a hyena, she screams like a banshee, she stroll around while her whole body is dirty while grinning maniacally and still look very beautiful.
i never really pay attention to her in the book but the movie her really amaze me!
I’ve always wondered exactly what was going on with her. Obsession and a horrid upbringing sure, but I’m talking mental health issues. And were those prevalent in her family or passed along through blood? Ironic considering her views.🤷🏻♀️
i don't think she was insane before. just brainwashed first by her family and then by voldemort. it was azkaban that turned her into the insane sadist we see in the movies
@@jhibbitt2896 Torturing two people into insanity and boasting about it seems pretty insane to me.
I have a Bellatrix wig. And the older I get, the more prominent my cheekbones are. And the more prominent my cheekbones are, the more I look like Bellatrix. It's gotten to the point of that wig giving me the ability to act more crazy and powerful than I usually do. It's almost a form of therapy for me.
You need to get to a bigger comic-con where ever you live and meet up with other HP cosplayers.
theory: Bellatrix had several miscarriages thus failing to produce heirs to House Lestrange and never loving Rodolphus.
Possibly yes. Even though she hasn't a maternal bone in her body, unlike her sisters. She'd have wanted to know that she was contributing to the pure blood population.
It's the only reason I don't assume she induced herself to miscarry.
It's just so unfortunate that Bellatrix LeStrange was ever brought up by such a wicked, evil and disgusting family.
Yeah... or else she will be a powerful protagonist. But at least Andromeda is a good witch. Narcissa... I think she is not exactly BAD, but not exactly good either. She just does anything for her son.
So were Sirius & Regulus and even Harry Potter.
She made her choices, Regulus had no outside influences at all having been sorted into Slytherin when he was 11 but he was self aware enough to wise up at 18 anyway. We also know literally next to nothing of her childhood or even the rest of the wider Black family, only the fanon interpretations.
Narcissa and Andromeda had the same upbringing as her, yet they weren’t sociopaths, so blaming her bad choices on her family is just lazy and not entirely accurate based on the confirmed facts in canon.
There’s a difference between upholding pureblood supremacist views as most of the so called ‘sacred 28’ did, not just the Blacks, and actually being a Bellatrix. Based on actual canon, not the fanon interpretations, I honestly don’t think Bellatrix is the norm in the Black family but an extreme case. I don’t understand why people assume differently, it’s obvious to me that they were just a magical aristocratic house who at the worst ignored the people they disowned, it was Bellatrix who brought murder and “pruning” in to the mix. So she’s the anomaly.
Please don’t confuse fanon and head canon with actual canon.
@@xinhewang9719 Narcissa is obviously a very ‘grey’ character, she certainly isn’t bad at all.
No she is the wicked, evil and disgusting one. The Blacks from the generation above were never Death Eaters, they are mainly obsessed with marrying other pure bloods. Her cousins and sisters all eventually turned their backs on Voldemort.
Has anyone done a 'what if' on ... what if Snape had survived? What would his life, and his relationship with Harry, have evolved into? Would his personality and interactions with others change?
I wish he didn't die and still gave harry his memories so they can have s relationship 🤧
He would have been humiliated for harry to know those things if he survived. He did not love Harry. Ever. He did it out of loyalty to Lily. Harry looked to much like James for him to see Lily. Harry would have changed how he treated Snape for sure. But Snape wouldn't have.
I do love the character of Bellatrix Lestrange. The dynamic between her and Lord Voldemort is very intriguing. I just always assumed her character was naturally evil and of course raised in a rich wizarding family that brainwashed pure blooded ideologies in her. Then the Dark Lord comes along of course and she was inspired to follow him wholeheartedly. She was clearly in love with him, in my opinion whether she was married to Rodolphus or not. The dark lord ascending chapter, the first chapter of year 7 was case in point how obsessive she was of him. When he would address her and mildly compliment her the way her eyes would wail with tears of happiness and her cheeks would flush it was borderline disturbing lol. But intriguing. I hate to have a crude perspective on a pg story but I always suspected that her eyes weren't the only part of her body that was watering up🙄 and even though Voldemort obviously isn't capable of feeling love it's clear he held her in high regard and respect. It's an intriguing dynamic and I do like it
The one thing I love about her is that she's absolutely true to herself no matter what.
the video they used for showing lesstanges childhood was a fan film called house of black
Thaaaaaankyouuuu
Thanks!
Yeh ....... Seen it .........
Thanks captain obvious
Sunitha srivastava 🌺Thank you.🌺
She scares me the most out of all the death eaters...but i just love her.
and i don't know why.
Because she's hot!
Maybe that's it. She terrifyingly unhinged, incredibly cruel and merciless. But she doesn't care who knows it. There's something enviable about that sort of confidence.
The fan film you've used here is actually really good. I reccomend to any potter fans who want more.
Great video
It was her upbringing that made her this way, I suppose. She was the closest thing to love for Voldemort.
You should watch the sisters black fan movie
I doubt it was that because Sirius and Andromeda both turned out good
Joker Not really, because the way people interpret things are different.
And Regulus and Narcissa were both far more sane.
@@Ninjamanhammer maybe because bellatrix was the first born and narcissa was number 3?
Serius Black meant it when he said there was a pure-blood madness in his family, I think he was referring to her.
not just her. all of them
@@jhibbitt2896 No, just her. We don’t really know a great deal about the wider Black family, like Orion, Alphard, etc, but if he said pureblood then maybe he was thinking about the Rosiers as well? It that was the case, then it’s no wonder Bellatrix was unstable.
I don’t consider the cursed child canon, although I sometimes Think “God how stoked must Bellatrix have been when Voldemort said you will bare my Child“ .... I mean she was thirsty for that one eyed basilisk. I can’t even comprehend the eagerness of her reaction
Finally a UA-cam advert that fits!
When I opened this video it started with "She's a maniac, maniac (on the floor)". 🤣
Best character, and reminder: shes the only person besides Voldemort to block a spell from Dumbledore in the books
Wait, what spell was that?
What was that? And when ?
@@aryabhatt8896 it happened when she was leaving the ministry in book 5. Only in the book though. Dumbledore shoots a spell at her when he’s restraining the death eaters and she blocks it. This happens after he immobilized her with statues. She also did this after defeating Kingsley, Tonks, and Sirius in rapid succession. She’s one of the most powerful people in the series, and her death was extremely circumstantial. She had just finished dueling Hermione, Ginny, and Luna all at once without her original wand, and then she had to fight enraged love amped Mrs.Weasly.
She is the epitome of the overly obsessive girlfriend
This comment deserves more likes! Top comment
@you're totally right They had a child tho (At least in The Cursed Child)
*cough* *Lavender Brown* *cough*
Well done!!!
All this is perfectly true. And I don't image Bella's childhood was exactly a happy, loving one, either. But the unfettered sadism, the gleeful love of killing. That wasn't necessary for maintaining the pure blood line. And Bella herself is surely responsible for revelling in those.
I know everyone hates her, but i just can't, at least the movie version. Probably because of Helena Bonheme Carter played her. She has done such a beautiful job playing this character with her intensity, loyalty and her insanity all exactly how I imagine them when I read the books.
Edit - 0:22 I think we're all forgetting Umbridge!
You are not the only one, I can't hate her too! Although she is evil, she is also sexy/beautiful (I think), funny, stylish and powerful. Helena did a great job!
She is My favourite character!I DON’T CARE SHE IS A MURDERER!I love her drakness....I ALWAYS WILL LIKE THE VILLANS IN EVERY SERIES!YEAH...I think I do this because i am a Slytherin...Idk...But i love The Slytherin Harry Potter character!AND YEAH...If i Could,I will be a Death Eater
@@soiuuuuuu maybe I wouldn't be a death eater, but I can appreciate how powerful she was!
Veritaserum True💚
Whats the namn of this movie or what it is? nerver seen it before
I don't know if what we learn about Bellatrix from that fanmade film should be taken as actual fact, but since you use footage from it in this video, I assume you take it at least somewhat seriously.
In that film it is shown how Bellatrix's father erases her memories every time she seems to develop an independent sense of value. He's basically trying to make her forget she is her own person, by erasing her every memory of whatever she values out of her own interest, instead of what she's taught to value.
Imagine what that does to a person. You can't remember anything you value for yourself, and what you do remember, you don't give a shit about. I imagine, if I would be in her shoes, it would make me think I don't give a flying fuck about life in general.
As a consequence, I wouldn't fear death, which would enable me to go to great lengths to achieve whatever I want to achieve (or serve lord Voldemort). I also wouldn't have any respect for the life of someone else, since life in general has no value. Therefore, I could kill without remorse.
So, in my opinion, if anything made her go mental, it's the fact that any memory that had any value to her got erased.
What an excellent point.
thank you for your brilliant mind, so true! Exactly a statement I was looking for
This is interesting to think about, I haven't seen the fanmade film but it's important to remember that it's not canon. Now, could this have been canon in the HP series if we had a book or books just focused on Bellatrix and her family or just bellatrix? maybe. However, I really don't see it as a thing that could've actually happened. Bellatrix has always been very proud of her family's traditions and values and fully embraced them as her own. She didn't seek other viewpoints, she valued and seen the pro pure blood beliefs as the best and the only real belief to follow. That makes Bellatrix the complete opposite to Andromeda who went the complete opposite direction and ditched her pro pureblood beliefs after dating and eventually marrying Ted Tonks.
The author has skillfully portrayed Bellatrix's upbringing similar to those of religious fundamentalist or puritan background.
It makes sense given how second nature the hatred is
I think Bellatrix was the best actor in the Harry Potter series. When I compare all of the others, one at a time, to her, she is the most believable. Her attitude, posturing, facial expressions, when she went to the bank, trying to match Hermione as Bellatrix. She didn't impress me by her power but by truly being deranged, her laugh, etc. I know Professor Dumbledore, Professor, McGonagall, & even Lord Voltimore, were probably more powerful, but she could convince you she was the strongest.
I was in love with the evilness of this character and the way Helena Bonham Carter played it..... But after reading the books I could understand the extent of evil in Bellatrix. Helena is an amazing actor so she did good for the parts the directors included in the movies.
Someone who read the books! +1!
tbh i love bellatrix, just not the things she did to harry, his friends, and especially neville's parents, dobby, and sirius black
bellatrix is a very powerful witch with a great family history, she just used all of her power in a negative way
I agree with you actually! This is pretty much the way it happens... When we think of the psychie of anyone in her shoes.. your breakdown of how she became the woman we got to know makes real sense!
where did you get footage from the black family? this is awesome! is there a show / movie I missed? :O
What If snape didn’t hear the prophecy?
What If snape didn’t live near the Evans?
What If alberferth didn’t sent Dobby in malfoy manor?
What If snape never became a death eater?
What If Harry keep talk about Cedric in hogsmeade with cho?(chorry fan)
*didn't send*
What if Dumbledore kill voldemort earlier, before the Pottah existed
If Snape never met Lily he be a good death eater
For the first one,
It's quite cruel, Dean did talked about that. If Snape never overheard the prophecy, the first WW wouldn't end. If Voldemort never knew about the prophecy, he wouldn't go after the Potter, and would never loose power.
What If voldemort go after Neville instead of Harry?
Bellatrix: helo
Hermione: Guess I'll die
GuRl to GuRl
She’s my favorite character she just looks like she had so much fun acting on the movie :3
the fan made film "sisters of house black" (which you showed ) is such a good film
Yay I can finally edit a comment with 1k likes, thanks for the likes everyone 🙂
Bruh why can I imagine that
yesssss
Immediate 'avada kadavra' will follow
i already know she was so in denial of it because she looked up to him so much
He would agree but tell her to shut up about it. He hated mudbloods and hated that part of himself.
"girl to girl" ~Bellatrix Lestrange
Love your work , Loved that you used the fan made videos that are about to sister of the house of black. I believe she was not original evil but the oppressive dogma and the evil dark allure that took hold of her. She was powerful and intelligent and a amazing duelist and become obsessive over the dark lord. That she became evil and insane I would wear anything for that power that prays even if he didn't care for his followers not one bit she would do anything for him cuz she was completely devoted and the samely obsessive over him and any appraisal from him would caus her great pleasure
I love Bellatrix so much, Helena had a great time playing this and he backstory was so sad, I feel proud to be the only on of my friends who gets her :)
She just grew up serving and pleasing her parents, that's the only thing she knew so she can survive I think
In my opinion, Bellatrix Lestrange is amazing, she has a great backstory and intense personality
ikr i always loved her character (well expect her killing and torturing people)
Honestly, the only part of Delphini Riddle’s existence in The Cursed Child that I approve of is how ironic it is that Bellatrix produced a Half-Blood child unknowingly, despite hating Andromeda so much for doing so previously.
Recently I watched a video about Irma Grese, nicknamed ‘The hyena of Auschwitz’ - this young woman committed some pretty horrific acts, and was subsequently executed at only 22 years of age.
I’m watching this clip and I can’t help but see the similarities.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that the Death Eaters are essentially serial killers and psychotic murderers, but it’s almost too easy to just see them as your typical fictional bad guys, because they’re a part of the Harry Potter universe, which is supposed to be all magical, twinkly and colorful.
