Even though I’m totally not over the whole tragic death thing at the Battle of Hogwarts, at least the real Tonks, AKA Natalia Tena, is still alive and kicking. After the Harry Potter movies, Tena landed herself a part in the insanely popular HBO series, Game of Thrones, as the sassy wildling – Osha, only to be murdered again in the hands of the Horrid and Hateful Ramsay Bolton.
She obviously has got it goin’ on in the film world, but did you know? Natalia Tena is also the lead singer and musician in her band, Molotov Jukebox. Talent like that doesn’t come around every day. We can’t wait to see what she does next.
Geraldine Somerville Now
Geraldine Somerville made a name for herself long before the Harry Potter franchise. Before her role as Lily Potter, Geraldine was mostly known as Detective Sergeant Jane Penhaligon, from the once-popular crime show series, Cracker.
She then moved on to smaller roles, such as Louisa, Countess of Manton, in the Titanic mini-series, or Sarah Griffin in the BBC's mini-series, Quirke. Lately, Geraldine Somerville served as Lady O, in the 2017 blockbuster, Goodbye Christopher Robin.
Natalia Tena as Nymphadora Tonks
Nymphadora Tonks has got to be one of the coolest characters of the entire franchise. As if she wasn't cool enough, she also has the coolest job ever: a dark wizard catcher. If we were a metamorphmagus, we would totally be a dark wizard catcher, too. It's just so dark and mysterious. But if you haven't fallen in love with her yet, wait until you see her babysit. She may not have thought about it at the time, but being a metamorphmagus comes with major babysitting points.
And luckily for Ginny, Hermione, and the gang, Tonks doesn't hold back when showing off her abilities at dinnertime, or when it's her turn to watch over them. As a vital member of The Order of the Phoenix, and the one with the most flourish, her untimely death was truly devastating to us. I cry watching it every time.
Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange
All death eaters are bad guys, but if you ask us about the evilest of them all, Bellatrix Lestrange beats them by a landslide. Bellatrix has got to be one of the most horrendous, torturous, ruthless dark witches of all time. No wonder she is Lord Voldemort's closest confidante.
We first meet her when she is imprisoned in Azkaban, at the beginning of the third book, but she soon escapes with the help of the Dementors, sent by you know who. Back in the Wizarding World, she makes it her mission to inflict pain on Harry, his friends, and his family (at least, the little he has left).
Helena Bonham Carter Now
As she proved in her time on the Harry Potter set, Helena Bonham Carter is always up for a challenge. During the course of the franchise, Helena became involved in a 13-year relationship with the weird, wacky and wonderful movie director, Tim Burton. This may be why she was cast in many of his films. Not that she wouldn't be able to score the roles by herself; after all, the woman is insanely talented. Some of these include Dark Shadows, Sweeney Todd and Alice in Wonderland.
Her flawless bone structure along with those gorgeous locks of gleaming black curls often place her in the role of the powerful anti-hero, but it works. We get the heebie-jeebies just looking at her. After Carter's split with Tim Burton in 2015, she moved onto other projects. Recently appearing in Oceans 8.
