Bonnie Wright, the actress who brought Ginny Weasley to life in the Harry Potter film franchise, shared her thoughts on the upcoming HBO TV adaptation of the beloved series. Speaking at the Back to Hogwarts event at New York’s Grand Central Terminal on September 1st, Wright expressed her hopes for the new series, which is set to premiere in 2026.
Wright, who led the iconic countdown ceremony at the event, wished for the inclusion of scenes that didn’t make it into the original films. She specifically mentioned wanting to see more development of Ginny and Harry’s relationship, including the nuanced moments where they begin to fall in love. Wright also hoped to see Ginny’s character evolution, becoming a loyal sidekick to Harry and understanding his story.
The actress also expressed her desire to see more of other characters’ moments from the books, such as Neville and Luna’s storylines. She acknowledged that the films had time constraints, but hoped that the TV series would allow for more in-depth exploration of the characters and their arcs.
Wright’s comments come as HBO prepares to bring J.K. Rowling’s mega-hit novel to life in a new format. The TV series is expected to offer a fresh perspective on the wizarding world, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. With Wright’s insights, it’s clear that the new series has the potential to delve deeper into the characters and storylines that made the books so beloved.
