Harry Potter is an unwavering pillar in popular culture at this level, from the day it hit cabinets in 1997 to the approaching HBO present (which might be out there with a Max subscription). However the 2001-2011 film franchise of the Wizarding World helped root Potter and firm’s legacy, particularly the performers behind the beloved characters. With every film, the solid grew tighter, and regardless that it’s been greater than a decade for the reason that long-awaited finish, Bonnie Wright revealed who she remains to be involved with from her Harry Potter days.
Wright stopped to speak with Individuals earlier than going to take part within the Broadway model of The Cursed Youngster, and he or she spilled about who she nonetheless talks to with some regularity. She talked about that Tom Felton and Evanna Lynch (who performed Draco Malfoy and Luna Lovegood, respectively) used to reside in Los Angeles, too, however moved. Past that, she sees the troublesome Weasley twin actors, a Ravenclaw actress and a Gryffindor/Ravenclaw actress (relying on who you ask). She shared:
However I see [James and Oliver Phelps] loads — who play, clearly, my twin brothers. They’re who I’ve seen most lately. After which I did see Katie Leung, who performed Cho Chang. She’s additionally a great buddy. And Afshan Azad-Kazi, who performed Padma Patil.
It makes my interior baby so happy to listen to that the alumni from the Harry Potter films (so as) nonetheless join once in a while. The 34-year-old additionally divulged that there’s a reasonably closely trafficked group chat amongst lots of the ex-Hogwarts college students (she didn’t identify drop who was part of the thread, sadly). Moreover, she mentioned it’s loads tougher to maintain up with everybody since folks reside internationally. Although for Wright, connections do pop up with some regularity, as many HP friends celebrated her first baby, and he or she was in a position to seem on the Phelps magical baking present.
I’m grateful to listen to that the alumni of the movie sequence nonetheless find time for each other and their followers, even 14 years later. Presently, the franchise is actively rising and beneath a microscope with the Harry Potter present and the hooked up baggage surrounding the ongoing J.Okay. Rowling discourse involving private beliefs. For sure, the writer’s dealings and the streamer large manufacturing have been hot-button points.
Whereas we watch for the approaching iteration (which won’t seem on our 2025 TV schedule), many OGs have expressed not desirous to return to Hogwarts, aside from Felton. No matter what might come of it, the Ginny Weasley actress’ recommendation for the way forward for Hogwarts is fairly sound. Hopefully the long run crew will discover the identical bonds and relationships Wright has reminisced about and nonetheless has lengthy after she packed up her trunk for the final time.
