The auburn-haired actress was barely 10 when she started playing Ginny Weasley, going from “Ron’s little sister” to Harry Potter’s soul mate over the course of the films. In 2011 Wright won the Most Edgy Look Award at the Rodial Beauty Awards and made her London Fashion Week debut walking the runway for London-based designer Katie Eary.
Wright graduated from London College of Communication and formed her own production company, BonBonLumière, in 2012. in addition to acting she has written and directed her own short films, including Separate We Come, Separate We Go, starring her former co-star David Thewlis (Remus Lupin); 2014’s Know Thyself, with Christian Coulson, who played Tom Riddle; and Medusa’s Ankles featuring Jason Isaacs, aka Lucius Malfoy.
“I want to the reveal emotions and beliefs which lie obscured by the barriers we put up, from fear of being judged or abandoned,” Wright explains on the BonBonLumière website. “Exploring themes which resonate with me; landscape, love and loss, redemption and the process of realisation, perfect or partial.”
Wright was previously engaged to Sweeney Todd star Jamie Campbell Bower, who played a young Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part 1, but they called it off in 2012. She then dated Simon Hammerstein for several years but appears to be single these days. In December Wright joined Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis and Evanna Lynch for a reunion that, happily, someone thought to take a picture of. “Time turning,” Wright captioned the pic, punctuating the sentiment with a lightning bolt.
