Bonnie is so gorgeous!

Your comment just kind of leaves me speechless. (I think you actually do mean to pick her apart.) The Ginny character created by Kloves and Yates WAS quiet. That wasn't Bonnie's decision. It was the scriptwriter and the director. Do you honestly think that Bonnie could have made Ginny more talkative if she wanted to? She could have just started saying lines and telling jokes that were not in the script? You may not realize this, but that ain't how it works! Kloves and Yates gave Bonnie (as Ginny) so few lines and scenes. (What she was given, she did great with -- e.g., the scream at seeing "dead" Harry). I guarantee you that if Yates wanted Bonnie to act any differently in any scene, he would have just called Cut and done another take until he got what he wanted. If anybody did not get Ginny, it was Kloves and Yates.

Boy, if that is what an old woman looks like, I am all for it. She looks amazing! You do realize that Hermione is a fictional character and Bonnie Wright is an actual young woman?

damn, gorgeous as always!!

awesome

Wow she looks great!

She looks great. I swear the first one doesn't even look like her. I had to do a double take!

I think Bonnie looks great in these. She and Emma have certainly grown up... I always feel funny saying that, though, because I'm younger than they are... I think I feel a bit older than them at times because I've been watching the Prisoner of Azkaban so much lately...

I do wish that Ginny had been a bit more fiery in the movies but I disagree with the people blaming Bonnie for that. I feel that she would have done a wonderful job showing that side of Ginny but it really wasn't under her control... One of the weaker arguments I have is that movies have to be within a certain time limit. I know it wouldn't take too much time to let her add in some jokes and let her show that side, though... I personally think they went wrong with not letting Ginny's feisty come out but it's not in our control and at least we get to see it in the wonderful books... I just think we shouldn't go blaming it on Bonnie. She did great with what she had to work with. I love her and I can't really picture any other actress as Ginny and even when I'm rereading the books I picture Bonnie saying all of her lines.

She is so grown up and very beautiful! Remember when she was so little in the first movie!

I just watched Chamber of Secrets yesterday, and she was just so little! And now I'm looking at her here and she's just gorgeous and so grown up

Totally agree! Ginny is so cool character and Bonnie didn't show it.



Hah, yeah. Me too.

^ How was she going to? Her lines and scenes she got didn't let her show that side of Ginny....like AT ALL.
Can you blame her for saying that? With the screentime and lines they gave her, they made Ginny quiet and that's not her doing.

Also, read her interviews during HBP and Part 1 of DH, she describes Ginny in the books and has read them. It was when promoting Part 2 and got the role in The Philosophers that she started saying Ginny in general in the films is quiet. Which she is. She knows Ginny got screwed over in the films.

those 2 first photos are new!! she looks so gorgeous in the cover

Shes so pretty!

Love her

Wow she looks so much older.

Those cheekbones she has are just amazing. I hate how the films made her look so plain.

She looks gorgeous! Much older than her years, but beautiful none the less.

I don't know why my comment would leave you speechless…you say it as if I'm accusing Bonnie of horrid things. I absolutely don't mean to pick her apart because I could go down and list the numerous things wrong with movie!Ginny and tear Bonnie apart for all of that, which isn't her blame to take. As I've said before, I respect Bonnie very much but she wasn't the best as Ginny. I understand that the directors didn't know Ginny would be promoted to a lead role later and evolve with a brighter personality so they didn't look for those traits when she was originally cast. And I have never wanted Ginny to be recast because it wouldn't be the same without Bonnie being there. All I said was that I had a bit of a problem with her 'quiet' portrayal of Ginny at times. You're right; Yates has a lot of the blame, which is why I can't stand the latter HP movies and I've acknowledged that many times on SS, but Bonnie has her faults too. And Kloves is not the reason why. Like a lot of fans, I used to blame Kloves too but after I read the HBP script and later on parts of the DH 1 script, I realized Kloves retained Ginny as best as he could. While her lines were watered down because he was more Harry/Hermione, book!Ginny was still there. It was all about how the lines were delivered that made all the difference. Plus, she struggles horribly with conveying facial expressions. She’s always got this :/ face on most of the time. So maybe Yates didn't call her out for it because he didn't care the Ginny's storyline, but Bonnie could have put in more passion into her lines/expressions. I'll give you this though…Bonnie did improve a great deal in DH 2, especially the "I know line," after the kiss and when she screamed after seeing Harry’s body; however, I don't know if it was redeemable for the whole franchise…

And yes, I am very much aware of how it works so there's no need to give me such a sarcastic response like this: "She could have just started saying lines and telling jokes that were not in the script? You may not realize this, but that ain't how it works!"

You're absolutely right about her screen time/lines, but I just feel like if Bonnie really was a good Ginny and understood the character enough, she would be able to make her limited screen time to work for her in any way possible, like other HP actors. Although, I do give credit to her in DH 2…that was one of her better portrayals of Ginny very similar to the book. I was shocked when that scream came out of her. And I never ever meant to insinuate that she didn't read the books, because I've seen her interviews as well. It's just in the interviews Bonnie and Ginny seem very much similar…quiet, which is why I’m wondering if she ever really got who Ginny was. She says Ginny is fiery but she never acts it, which may or may not be the director's fault. That's what I was trying to say up there…not that I hate Bonnie and her portrayal of Ginny overall. I swear I'm not trying to be mean to Bonnie...

Bonnie looks lovely... If only I had those cheek bones.

I don't think people are aware of how much you love Bonnie as Ginny other times. You forgot to state that the reason you're so picky with Bonnie is because Ginny is one of your favorite characters and you're a huge Harry/Ginny fan as well. You should have stated that clearly more or less. It seems as if everyone is thinking you're a Bonnie hater. Really, people, she's not trying to be mean to Bonnie...she loves her!

And I agree with you. Bonnie has her issues with her acting. She isn't perfect and her delivery is very off compared to the vibrant Ginny from the books but other than that I'd still want her in the role, just like I know you're trying to say.

bonnie, is cool

she's so pretty on the first cover!

Some day there is going to be a psychological study of Bonnie/Ginny haters. What was it about the actress or the character that drove them so crazy? What made them so blind to reality? It should be interesting.

I really think Bonnie did a great job in the Harry Potter films. She knows the books really well and her character, Ginny. I wish they showed the more true side of Ginny and made her not as quiet. That's the films though.

She reminds me of the classic Hollywood actress like Catherine Hepburn, Ginger Rodgers, and the like. A true Classic Beauty!!

I don't think we should blame Bonnie for not getting fully the character of Ginny in the movies..Yes,there were times that Bonnie could do better..And Yes,there were times that the director and the screenwriter didn't do justice to the character...Generally speaking though I like what I saw even though it wasn't that faithful to the book like the trio characters...
As for the photoshoot I have to say that she has the package to be a fair model She looks Gorgeous,BUT they used too much photoshop at this photoshoot...Anyway,she looks beautiful
