Bonnie Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, speaks about her character and what she hopes for in the HBO series.
HBO is getting ready to produce a new Harry Potter TV show that will reimagine the books and the original movies.
There will surely be many changes in the show that could prove daunting, but it might be refreshing to see characters we know and love in a new light.
Bonnie Wright has addressed the possibility of these changes with her own hopes for the show.
Ginny Weasley's Character Arc
What many fans of the books have been crying about, is the underrepresentation of Ginny in the movie adaptation. Even though, she doesn't play a huge role in the books, she at least has a distinct personality, which the Ginny from the movie doesn't seem to possess.
What's more is that Ginny's relationship with Harry is explored a lot more thoroughly in the books.
Bonnie Wright, who plays her in the movie adaptations, told Variety the following:
[I want to see] more of the development of the relationship between Ginny and Harry. There’s nuanced moments of where they begin to fall in love. I think more of that arc of her character becoming this real loyal sidekick to Harry and how she really understands and knows his story and who he is and is the best partner for him.
She went on by saying:
So I just hope we see that evolution of that character — and so many characters. If only we could have had five-hour movies. There are so many characters that have moments I love from the books — Neville and Luna — so I’m hoping as a fan of the books that I get to see more.
As a fellow Harry Potter fan, I couldn't agree more. It would be nice to see some of the side characters getting more than a couple of snarky lines and a moment in the final battle.
What do you think? Would you like to revisit the franchise?
