Bonnie Wright was born to Gary Wright and Sheila Teague on February 17, 1991 in London, England. Thanks to a little known wizard named "Harry Potter" many young and talented kids were about to be discovered, among them was the brilliant Bonnie Wright.
 In November of 2001 Bonnie made her film debut as Ginny Weasley, the shy and younger sister of Harry Potter's best friend, Ron Weasley. Although her scene in the film was rather small it wouldn't be long before her role took on a bigger meaning. Exactly one year later, on November 15, 2002, Bonnie reprised her role as the sweet and adorably shy Ginny in "Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets". This time her role required a lot more than a, "Goodluck!" to Harry. In "Chamber", Bonnie's character Ginny attends her first year at Hogwarts. Now, not only does Ginny have to deal with school & her growing crush on the famous boy wizard, but she also has to deal with a terrible & deadly secret that makes her key to the plot of the film.
Til' this day Bonnie has continued to breathe life into the role of Ginny Weasley having done so in "Prisoner of Azkaban" (2003), "Goblet of Fire" (2005), and in the brilliant 5th film, Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix, which hit theaters on July 11, 2007. Bonnie has also wrapped up filming on the much anticapted 6th Harry Potter installement set for release on July 17, 2009. In Half Blood Prince, Bonnie's character Ginny becomes Harry's love interest & "soulmate". Although this is quiet a huge achievement for any 17 year old girl, Bonnie also has two made for T.V. movies under her belt. These include, Hallmark's production of "Stranded" (2002), & the BBC's "Agatha Christie: A Life in Pictures" (2004).
Not only is Bonnie a talented actress but she also happens to have many secret talents that may, or may not surprise you. Bonnie has stated that she loves to surf & infact went to Austrlia to do just that. She also enjoys playing football, (soccer), rounders, & tennis. Bonnie also has a passion for music that reaches beyond a favorite song on the radio. Bonnie has a talent for the piano and recorder. Bonnie is also able to do Cockney, Yorkshire, and Australian accents. But that's not all! Last but not least, she does ballet, modern, and African dances. So just what would she be doing if she wasn't an actress? She has stated she would like to own a resort in Australia.
To date, it looks as Bonnie will reprise her role as Ginny Weasley one last time in the final Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It currently isn't clear when Deathly Hallows will begin filming but the film will be split into two parts, making for two seperate release dates. With Half Blood Prince set for release in the summer of 2009 and Deathly Hallows set for filming, we can be sure to see a lot more of Bonnie's fantastic acting in the future.
