Bonnie was born 17 February 1991 in London, UK. Her acting career started with probably so far her most famous role. Wright plays Ginny Weasley in all Harry Potter movies. She manages only slowly to get outside this child actor box now. In 2014, Bonnie will be starring on Geography of the Heart and Those Who Wander. She didn’t pose for any magazine in bikini yet, but paparazzi already took several pictures of her while wearing swimwear and hanging out with her boyfriend on yacht in Italy.
Career
In 1999, a talent search for “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s first “Harry Potter” novel, was held in the U.K. After Wright’s brother said she “reminded him of Ginny,” Bonnie, who had no acting experience other than school plays, asked her mother to let her audition for the film. Sheila sent Bonnie’s photos to the casting directors, and Wright was asked to audition for producer David Heyman. After the audition, Wright’s parents were soon informed that she got the role. She made her big screen debut at age 9, and “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was 2001’s highest-grossing film. Bonnie reprised the role of Ginny Weasley in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” (2002), “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (2004), “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” (2005), “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” (2007), “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” (2009), “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” (2010), and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” (2011). She also voiced the character in the video games “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1,” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.”
Personal Life
In February 2010, Bonnie’s “Harry Potter” co-star Jamie Campbell Bower confirmed that they had “been seeing each other for a few months,” and the couple became engaged in April 2011. Wright and Bower ended their engagement in June 2012. Bonnie is passionate about activism, and in 2017, she got involved in Greenpeace’s Ocean Plastics campaign, joining the organization on their ship, Arctic Sunrise, to trawl for plastic. In 2018, she traveled to Atlanta to deliver a petition to the Coca-Cola headquarters, urging the company to end its production of single-use plastic. In 2020, Wright traveled to Guatemala in her role as a Rainforest Alliance ambassador and visited communities in the Maya Biosphere Reserve that are committed to sustainable forest management. Bonnie is an ambassador for J.K. Rowling’s charitable organization, Lumos, whose mission is to “fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.” In 2016, Wright and her “Harry Potter” co-star Evanna Lynch went to Haiti for their work with Lumos and met with “children who had been rescued from terrible conditions and reunited with their families.”
