Take One Down
Bonnie Wright recently spoke with Marie Claire about her experience on the set of Harry Potter.
On growing up in the spotlight: “For me, the part started quite small and it grew as I got older, so it worked really well because I was still at school. Luckily for Dan [Radcliffe] and me, we lived in London so we’d go home to our house and see our friends on the weekend. You’ve got to realize that so much of your life is also just being the same as anyone else. You’ve got to be driven to have that balance rather than getting lost in the work world.”
On who she is closest with on set: “That’s hard. For me with the Weasley family, we have Rupert [Grint] and James and Oliver [Phelps] and Julie Walters, we had so much fun in those scenes. We joked around, and it was able to add a more natural feel to the family that we did all get on.”
On continuing to act after Harry Potter: “I’m in my second year of college at the University of London, University of the Arts at the moment doing film. And I start a new film in June this year that’s an American film set in Jakarta in Indonesia, and I think there are two other Australian actors meant to be in it, Rhys Wakefield and Sophie Lowe.”
It has been released that the film Bonnie is speaking of is the movie, The Philosophers.
Can’t wait to see Bonnie continue her acting and seeing all the things that she plans to do with her career.
