Bonnie attended Prior Western Primary School and then King Alfred School. During this period she was cast to be part of “Harry Potter”. While filming “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, she started attending the University of the Arts: London College of Communication. She graduated in 2012 having studied film and television production.
Wright got the part of Ginny Weasley in “Harry Potter” after auditioning for the role; according to her, it was her brother who told her that she resembled the character. She first appeared in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, during the King’s Cross railway station scene. In the second film, she would gain more attention as the story heavily involved her character. This continued with a smaller role in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, before getting a significant supporting role in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”. The fifth film, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” had Bonnie playing an even bigger role as part of Dumbledore’s Army – she’s seen battling villains such as the Death Eaters and Voldemort. In the next film, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, her character starts to develop a love interest with Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe. In the last two films to date – “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” and “Part 2”, she reprised her role for the last time, one of the 13 actors who have appeared in all “Harry Potter” films. All of the “Harry Potter” films have been successful critically and financially, so during this time, Wright’s net worth has also increased significantly. She has received a lot of acclaim, and soon other opportunities would open up for her.
Bonnie then appeared in films such as “Stranded” and “Agatha Christie: A Life in Pictures”. She also started to do voice work, including for the Disney Channel show “The Replacements”. She then had a string of indie films such as “Before I Sleep”, and “The Sea”. Around the same time, she also broadened her career to the stage with a production of “The Moment of Truth”, which earned a lot of positive reviews, especially for her performance. Bonnie then appeared in more films such as “After the Dark”, “Those Who Wander”, and “The Highway is for Gamblers”.
Bonnie Wright also became involved as a screenwriter and director for the film “Separate We Come, Separate We Go” in 2012. She has also directed various music videos such as “Dreaming” by Sophie Lowe and “Sea Ess” by George Schuster. She then wrote and directed “Know Thyself”, and “Fade to Gold”. Most of the works she’s been involved in include co-stars from “Harry Potter”.
Aside from acting and other film work, Wright is recognised as a model, appearing in various publications, plus in the 2011 London Fashion Week.
For her personal life, it is known that she dated Jamie Campbell Bower who appeared in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1”. They got engaged during 2011 but called it off a year later. Since 2013, she’s been in a relationship with Simon Hammerstein.
