Bonnie Wright is in agreement with many Harry Potter fans.

Like, ‘Oh gosh, will I do justice to this character that people love?’” she mused. “So 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.” Bonnie added that she feels the fans frustration with just how little Ginny was on screen compared to the books. “That was a little disappointing because there were parts of the character that just didn’t get to come through because there weren’t the scenes to do that,” she says. “That made me feel a bit anxious or just frustrated.” Bonnie went on, “There was no room for much change in those scripts.

There were a million executives going through them all. I think what I maybe took, which I don’t take so much to heart now, is I kind of felt that maybe my anxiety was about, ‘Oh, I’m going to be seen as badly portraying this character,’ rather than later realizing that I wasn’t really given the opportunity to do that.” Just a few months ago, Bonnie revealed she was expecting her first child.
