Bonnie Wright

Bonnie Wright is indeed an actress, model, director, as well as campaigner from the United Kingdom. She is best recognised for her part inside the Harry Potter film series as Ginny Weasley.

Bonnie Wright, who was born in London, had her professional debut appearance in Harry Potter as well as the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), playing the character for ten years until the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, in which she reprised the role. Following the series, Wright starred in a number of indie films, including Before I Sleep (2013), The Sea (2014), and After the Dark (2014), all of which got mixed reviews. She had her theatrical debut there at Southwark Playhouse in 2013 as that of the lead in Peter Ustinov’s The Moment of Truth.

Bonnie Wright earned a bachelor’s degree in filmmaking from the University of the Arts London in 2012. After that, she started her own production business, BonBonLumiere, as well as began making short movies. Separate We Come, Separate We Go (2012), a coming-of-age drama featuring David Thewlis that premiered there at Cannes Film Festival to great acclaim, was her debut directing endeavour. She helmed Christian Coulson’s Know Thyself (2016) and Sextant (2016), which together dealt with landscape and emotion. Phone Calls, Wright’s three-part series, premiered at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival. Medusa’s Ankles, modelled on A. S. Byatt’s The Matisse Stories, starred Kerry Fox and Jason Isaacs. Sophie Lowe, Pete Yorn, and Scarlett Johansson have all had music videos directed by her.

Bonnie Wright is well-known for her environmental advocacy, and she also serves as an ambassador for Greenpeace and Lumos.

Castings for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the movie adaptation of British novelist J. K. Rowling’s best-selling novel, took hold around the UK in 1999. Wright’s older brother had read the very first two volumes inside the series as well as compared her to Ginny Weasley. Wright has no previous professional experience apart from school plays as well as asked her mother if she might audition “upon that spur of the moment.” Following her photos being delivered to the movie’s casting directors, she was given a screen test for David Heyman, as well as her parents, were informed that she had gotten the part shortly after.
