Bonnie Wright feels fortunate she grew up filming Harry Potter without the harsh eyes of social media.
If Harry Potter was produced today, there would have been a lot of unsolicited comments from fans, and Bonnie Wright is thankful that social media wasn’t a big part of everyone’s lives back when the first movie came out.
She played Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. As one of the most popular characters in the franchise, the actress felt that she would have read a lot of nasty remarks about her if she had Twitter back then.
Bonnie Wright Feels Relieved Social Media Didn’t Exist In The Early 2000s
During her conversation with Britain’s Daily Telegraph, Harry Potter alum Bonnie Wright says she’s very fortunate that social media was not a massive thing back when she was working on the early Harry Potter movies.
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.
The star admitted it’s not fun to be a teenager and you get to read negative comments about your appearance or your character online. “You’re growing into yourself and see photos of yourself like, ‘Oh God!’ Especially when you’re changing so much every year,” she stated.
The actress pointed out that growing up is a personal journey that people have to go through where they try so hard not to care about the changes in their bodies. She learned that “it’s not great having it across the internet, but it’s a question of how much you want to distance yourself from it.”
Wright hasn’t done as many projects in the past after her stint in the Harry Potter movies. Still, the actress claims to “never say never” when asked about returning to the beloved franchise for a new film.
Bonnie Wright Was Frustrated With Her Harry Potter Role
In an episode of Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast, Bonnie Wright admitted the anxiety she felt towards performing her role as Ginny Weasley and doing her best to give it justice.
That was always hard to do, especially when, inevitably, a lot of the scenes of every character were chopped down from the book to the film. So you didn’t really have as much to show in the film.
This was when the actress claimed there were no discussions with the producers about her character being more involved in the movies. “There was no room for much change in those scripts,” she explained.
She also ranted about the lack of her character’s screen time, hence resulting in how the viewers see Ginny Weasley in a particular way. Wright believed she was “going to be seen as badly portraying this character” when in fact, she wasn’t given the opportunity to show all ends of the spectrum.
It’s truly a good thing then that social media was mostly non-existent at the start of the century because fans would definitely be talking about Ginny Weasley, and it would have been a terrible nightmare for the actress.
