Actually...

I've really been meaning to post on this for a while.

nonewwitticisms and I were talking about Harry Potter several weeks ago, when we got into a discussion on Bellatrix Lestrange, and he said that not only was she evil and he hated her, but that Bellatrix had to be insane in order to torture the Longbottoms and laugh about it, and that Azkaban just sent her even further.

I, on the other hand, firmly believe she was perfectly sane when she tortured the Longbottoms, that she didn't laugh about it because she was insane, but that she laughed about it because she enjoyed it so much. And that Azkaban made her as insane as we see her now.

So what about you all? Give me everything you've got on Bellatrix Lestrange. I'm dying to hear your thoughts. ^_^

I'm also leaving this entry unlocked just in case I get lucky and more people than those from my flist answer. If anyone answers at all... ^^;; *hopes*

I think one of the reasons why I adore her so much, is because she is so wicked. (And then it occurs to me that. er. ) So, yeah. I find psychotics to be interesting, which was one of the points that brought Jon and I to that discussion. ^^

But it's rather obvious that Azkaban knocked Bellatrix off her kilter, and although I doubt it would happen, I'd like to see more of how she was pre-Azkaban, just so I can compare between then and now.
