English actress Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, was left largely disappointed with her character due to the limited time she was given on screen.
Wright, 32, was just 9-years-old when she was cast as Ginny Weasley, the sister of Ron Weasley (played by Rupert Grint), and the future wife of Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe).
In the new episode of Michael Rosenbaum’s ‘Inside of You’ podcast, Wright expressed disappointment that Ginny was not more prominent in the films.
“I definitely feel there was anxiety toward performing and doing the best thing as my character built,” Wright said.
“Like, Oh gosh, will I do justice to this character that people love? So that was always hard to do, especially when, inevitably, a lot of the scenes of every character were chopped down from the book to the film,” reports Deadline.
“So you didn’t really have as much to show in the film. Sometimes that was a little disappointing, because there were parts of the character that just didn’t come through because there weren’t the scenes to do that. That made me feel a bit anxious or just frustrated, I guess.”
Wright was given only one line in the first film of the franchise: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone released in 2001. Wright initially didn’t have any lines. (IANS)
