WhatHarry Potterfan doesn’t wish they had a family just like the Weasleys?
Take that, Voldemort!
So what has she been up to now that she’s graduated from Hogwarts?
Has she been involved in anything as landmark asHarry Potter?
And what are her plans for the future?
Here’s everything we know about the girl who played Ginny Weasley inHarry Potter.
For one, she grew up in urban London, whereas the Weasley clan lived in the Burrow.
And while Ginny Weasley has a bunch of brothers, Wright only has one in real life.
But despite the difference of their families' sizes, Wright can still relate to the Weasley brood.
“[The] desire to tell a story was something I loved as a kid.
Recounting things, or putting on little performances,” she mused in an interview withThe S Life Mag.
“I was a very curious child.”
“And we heard they were doing these auditions and they were going to make these books into films.
He was like, ‘Oh, you should go and audition for the role of Ginny.'”
Kudos to him for the push!
And we all know what happened next!
Can you imagine spending a full decade on set?
Those years were utterly formative for Wright, who had matured immensely while filming.
“It was seminal to my growing up.”
We can only imagine!
“To watch people for whom the craft of film-making was so important that stayed with me.”
Sounds pretty darn magical.
Free from theHarry Potterfranchise, she was able to chase her creative ambitions and enrollin college.
“I’m studying film and television in London,” she revealed toInterviewmagazine in 2011.
After being onthatset, whowouldn’twant to learn how to make movies?
“So that was a dream that I completed.”
Good for you, girl!
Wright finished school at the London College of Communication in 2012, according to the university website.
In 2013, she played Rose inThe Sea, an Irish drama.
Top it off with her work in the stage playThe Moment of Truththat year, and youknowshe was busy.
Who knew she was so versatile?
It’s understandable, as the entertainment industry can benotoriouslyhard on the body.
For example, when she was acting, there was no such thing asa sick day.
Yeah, no pressure there!
And when it worked, that changed her perspective for good.
She even has her own production company, named BonBonLumiere, whichshe founded back in 2012 what a boss!
Plus, according toThe Guardian, Wright has plans to make a full-length film in the future.
We’ll be waiting, Bonnie!
While Wrightmayconsider being in front of the camera again in the future, directing is her true passion.
“Film is a very empowering tool.
“I’ve gone back to basics.
Making my films with a small crew was the way I brought it back down to earth.”
It’s awesome to see a woman owning her career like that!
However, that’s not her only area of concern.
That’s real activism in action!
But when Ginny Weasley herself made the move to SoCal in 2016, her motives were surprisingly not job-oriented.
And yes, she knows she’s gettinga lotmore sun!
So far, it’s been a good experience for her with regard to her productivity.
“I think I get more done here,” the formerHarry Potterstar continued.
“There’s more mental space.”
Hopefully that means we’ll see new work from Wright soon!
To that end, she ended up diversifying her directing portfolio, and has quite enjoyed the shift.
That does sound like a bit of a break from making all of the executive decisions all the time.
That’s a pretty innovative way to recycle plastic!
“That’s all about pollution, but in a very different space…the ocean.
It’s going to be a thriller, monster movie.”
What a cool idea!
