Harry Potter Actress Hoping For More Character Depth In Upcoming HBO Series

As a long-time Potterhead who grew up with Harry, Hermione, and Ron (not to mention Ginny), I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation about HBO’s upcoming reimagining of our beloved magical world. While change is inevitable and often refreshing, it’s hard not to worry that the new interpretation might dilute the magic we know and love.


HBO is set to create a fresh take on the Harry Potter saga, drawing inspiration from the beloved books and films.

change is inevitable and may initially seem challenging, but it could also be exciting to witness familiar characters we adore in a fresh, unexpected way.

Bonnie Wright has addressed the possibility of these changes with her own hopes for the show.

Ginny Weasley’s Character Arc

A concern among many book enthusiasts is the lack of depth given to the character Ginny in the film adaptation. While her role in the novels isn’t extremely significant, she does have a unique personality that appears to be missing in the movie version of Ginny.

Not only does Ginny’s connection with Harry receive extensive examination, but it delves deeply into their relationship in the books as well.

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.

Hey there, fellow Harry Potter enthusiast! Completely on board with you. It’d be fantastic if some of our favorite secondary characters got a bit more screen time beyond just a quick witty remark and a brief appearance during the climactic fight scene.

What do you think? Would you like to revisit the franchise?
