After the Harry Potter series recently found its showrunner, preparations for the remake are underway behind the scenes. Many stars of the previous films are also watching the series remake with interest – and even have specific wishes, as in the case of Ginny actress Bonnie Wright.
Bonnie Wright wants the series to finally show Ginny as Harry Potter’s “best partner”
Bonnie Wright was in the Harry Potter films from the beginning, but only appeared for a total of 30 minutes in the eight cinema adventures. Is that enough to establish a credible love relationship with the main character? In the past, the actress has repeatedly been criticized for her portrayal of Ginny Weasley and has shown “frustrated” about her shortened rolewhich was handled incorrectly in the films.
In an interview with Variety, Wright now expressed what the upcoming series remake should do differently with Ginny, after many key scenes did not make it into the Harry Potter films had achieved:
So many things [fehlen. Wir brauchen] more Development of the relationship between Ginny and Harry. There are nuanced moments [im Buch]where they start to fall in love. I think more of their character development [wird benötigt]to make her a truly loyal sidekick for Harry. To show how she really understands him and knows his story. That she knows who he is and is therefore the best partner for him. I really hope this character development [in der Serie] – and also that of so many other characters such as Neville and Luna. If only we had had 5-hour films!
The new Harry Potter series will definitely have a longer run: Each season will be based on a book, i.e. a Hogwarts school year, with several episodes. This will certainly leave more time for Ginny Weasley.
Bonnie Wright also observed that the new stars would get more attention from the start, while the Harry Potter phenomenon was still developing in her time. However, the series casting of the new cast has not yet begun.
