Bellatrix Lestrange is a fictional character in the Harry Potter novels by J. K. Rowling. She evolved from an unnamed peripheral character in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire into an antagonist in subsequent novels. In the final novel, Rowling established her as Lord Voldemort's "last, best lieutenant". Bellatrix had a fanatical obsession with the Dark Lord, though she feared his magical abilities and absolute power over his forces. She is sadistic and homicidal, with a psychotic personality.
She is played by Helena Bonham Carter in the last four Harry Potter films, from Order of the Phoenix (2007) to Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011).
