Bonnie Wright

Bonnie Kathleen Wright is an English actress best known for her portrayal of Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

Early life
Bonnie was born on February 17, 1991 in London, England to Gary and Sheila Wright, who are both jewellers. She does ballet and African Modern. She also can sing and play the piano and play soccer or go surfing. She has an older brother named Lewis. Wright has visited many places such as India, Spain, Italy, Finland, America, Australia and France.

Career
Wright was originally cast as Ginny Weasley for a small scene in the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001, set at King's Cross Station. Her role became more prominent with the second movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in 2002, in which her character begins studies at Hogwarts while dealing with a very powerful secret diary that begins to seize her soul and consciousness. Wright's role in the third film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in 2004, was significantly smaller, leaving her with only one line of dialogue. However, the character became a bonafide supporting character in the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 2005, with dialogue sprinkled across several scenes and perhaps her most screentime yet. Her latest role in the fifth Potter saga, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which was released on 11 July 2007 sets her again firmly in the limelight, with hints of Ginny's greater importance to the overall plot. Wright recently confirmed in an interview that she is signed on for the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, with filming due to begin at the end of September 2007.

Wright has also starred in two television movies: 2002's Stranded and 2004's Agatha Christie: A Life in Pictures playing the younger version of Agatha Christie.

Recently Bonnie was a guest on Disney's The Replacements voicing Vanessa in season two opener 'London Calling'.
