Harry Potter fans will remember Helen McCrory as the villainous Narcissa Malfoy, but the actor was originally supposed to play a different role in the franchise.

McCrory died from cancer aged 52, her husband Damian Lewis announced on Friday. Her first appearance in the Harry Potter film series as Narcissa Malfoy came in the 2009 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

McCrory reprised the role in the two Deathly Hallows instalments, released respectively in 2010 and 2011. Before she was tapped to portray Draco Malfoy’s mother, McCrory was cast as Bellatrix Lestrange (Narcissa’s sister and Sirius Black’s cousin) for the 2007 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but had to drop out after she got pregnant.
