She has put the Harry Potter films behind her, and is delighted when people associate her with directing first and Ginny Weasley second. That said, she wouldn't rule out playing Ginny again in a future Harry Potter film: “With all things, never say never.”
| Bonnie talked about growing up in front of the general public, and the ups and downs that came with fame at a young age: Quote:
Bonnie Wright: “I’m so respectful and understand those 10 years on Harry Potter were the foundation of my life. It was seminal to my growing up.”
“It’s not fun when you’re a teenager and experiencing those things. You’re growing into yourself and see photos of yourself like, 'oh God!' Especially when you’re changing so much every year.”
“Whether or not you’re on the internet or your own personal world, that’s a journey every woman goes through – that battle of not caring about your physical body. It’s not great having it across the internet, but it’s a question of how much you want to distance yourself from it - that’s what I’ve really learned.”
"I feel very lucky and pleased that when we were filming Harry Potter, social media didn’t really exist. That was an incredibly lucky thing. I wasn’t a nine-year-old with a Twitter account. I’m thankful."
| On her directing work, where she has created several short films already: Quote:
Bonnie: “I feel like the minute I really got into my directing work, it became a personal journey. It’s something I do for myself. Of course I want it to become a career - and bigger than that. But for a long time, since I graduated, it’s been very personal. So when things happen, I have my directing stuff that I'm doing for me and not for someone else's opinion.”
“I want to make sure we get to the point where your gender doesn’t have to come before your job title. It shouldn’t be a ‘female director’ – it should just be a 'director'. It should transcend gender, race, time and language - all those things. My stories are coming from a female perspective but from the beginning of time men have also told stories with female leads.”
“Film is a very empowering tool. It's main draw, for me, is that basic concept of storytelling. I’ve gone back to basics. Making my films with a small crew was the way I brought it back down to earth.”
| Rumors are already brewing that there may be film adaptations (as many as three parts) for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but would not go into production until the five-part Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film series is complete - which could be a decade away. |
