The Witch on my Buffet!
Hi! This year has been disruptive, hectic, and intense. I've been unable to do much gardening, we are surrounded with totes and bins that still need to be dealt with, the house is a fright (having nothing to do with Halloween) and that may be for another two months.
Yesterday a package arrived of a 'great buy'; a doll I didn't even know was being made. One of my favorite actresses, Helena Bonham Carter, arrived a Mattel doll made for the Harry Potter series. Her character is Bellatrix LeStrange...the insane and dangerous witch vilan-ess.
Apparently she was at her best in the HPotter film, dark, daring, crazy, the perfect part for her. (I confess I fell asleep in the first movie, and haven't seen any of the others) But, the dolls from this series are so interesting. All are fully articulated and actually look like the actors themselves. I love the white bits in her fluffy signature ringlet hair.
Mattel outdid themselves, she is gorgeous. I adjusted her skirt, sheathed her wand, and let her visually cast magic on my buffet which is the only spot really decorated for Fall in our disaster home.

The doll is lovely. She's perfect for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThanks, so much! Really thank Mattel!
DeleteA gerat addition to any Halloween display! I have to admit I've somehow seen the first and the last Potter films but none of them in between... I've not read the books either!
ReplyDeleteI know, I remind myself they were aimed at young adult, which I passed in the 1960s...lol.
DeleteWhat beautiful doll! Hugs and blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank you she is pretty accurate!

Hi, Deb, thanks for stopping by, yes, she's going to be a favorite!
ReplyDeleteA week or two after The Past Re-Visited 1 was posted on my blog Tone Deaf you left a comment there. I found it interesting and replied at length on my own behalf. You may or may not find what I said worth reading. Given the time lag I thought I'd bring it to your attention.
ReplyDeleteTotally replied after consideration--careful is left out there, because I pretty much just wing it. I'm curious as to the why...of the omission I mention? Sandi
