There's nothing Lestrange about it.
Helena Bonham Carter and longtime beau Tim Burton are expecting their second child together, the actress' publicist confirmed to E! News Thursday.
The Britain-based couple, who own adjoining homes in North London and only recently knocked down the dividing wall, have been an item since 2001, when they met on the set of Burton's remake of Planet of the Apes. Their son, Billy Raymond, will be four in October.
"They are very happy to be expecting their second child later this year," rep Karon Maskill said.
The family of three (for now) is currently vacationing in Italy.
While the aforementioned sci-fi flick set the stage for romance to bloom, Bonham Carter and Burton have kept the fire burning on a host of other film shoots.
The Edward Scissorhands auteur also directed his girlfriend in Big Fish, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and, most recently, his upcoming adaptation of Sweeney Todd, which also stars Johnny Depp, Sacha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman. The dark musical-comedy about the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is slated for a Dec. 21 release.
Bonham Carter, who's known for both her quirky characters in cult favorites like Fight Club as well as for her period turns in the Merchant Ivory vein, is currently scaring up the big screen as Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. And by signing up for that role, she has snagged herself a place in the next two Potter films, as well.
The 41-year-old performer was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar in 1998 for The Wings of the Dove, based on the Henry James novel.
