Harry Potter Star Bonnie Wright Open to ‘Cursed Child’ Movie

‘Cursed Child’ Movie Possibility

The wizarding world of Harry Potter continues to enchant fans with the possibility of a cinematic adaptation of the acclaimed theatrical production, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” While rumors surrounding this potential project abound, one key question remains: would the original cast members be interested in reprising their roles? In particular, Bonnie Wright, renowned for her portrayal of Ginny Weasley, has shared her thoughts on the matter. Wright’s perspective offers a glimpse into the actor’s willingness to embrace a minimal role in a future “Cursed Child” movie.

Bonnie Wright’s Willingness to Revisit Ginny Weasley

Bonnie Wright, the actress behind the beloved character Ginny Weasley, has expressed her openness to the idea of a “Cursed Child” movie. While she acknowledges that there hasn’t been official confirmation of such an endeavor, she shares her genuine interest, primarily because her character’s role would be relatively small in the context of the story. “The biggest question everyone wants to know is if they are going to be making a TV/film version of it. I don’t know,” Wright revealed in an interview with the Inside of You podcast. “It would be pretty fun because it’s really about the children. It’s not about our characters, so it wouldn’t be a massive role. It would really be about these kids and the new generation. It would be fun, but I have no idea if they’ll do it.”

Daniel Radcliffe’s Perspective

While Bonnie Wright is open to revisiting the wizarding world, her co-star Daniel Radcliffe, who portrayed the iconic Harry Potter, has expressed a different stance. In a 2022 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Radcliffe indicated that he hasn’t distanced himself from the franchise long enough to feel a strong inclination to return to it. He explained, “I’m getting to a point where I feel like I made it out of Potter okay, and I’m really happy with where I am now, and to go back would be such a massive change to my life. I’m never going to say never, but the Star Wars guys had like 30, 40 years before they went back. For me, it’s only been 10. It’s not something I’m really interested in doing right now.”

Rupert Grint’s Openness to Return

In contrast to Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, known for his portrayal of Ron Weasley, has conveyed a more receptive attitude toward reprising his role. He has stated that he would consider returning to the franchise “if the timing was right and everyone was coming back.” Grint’s sentiment reflects his deep connection to the character of Ron Weasley and the meaningful role it played in his life.

Director’s Interest: Chris Columbus

The possibility of a “Cursed Child” movie has also piqued the interest of Chris Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter films. Columbus has expressed a desire to direct “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” noting that it’s a “great play” and that the young actors are now the right age to reprise their roles. While Columbus’s involvement remains speculative, his enthusiasm for the project adds to the intrigue surrounding its potential realization.

Harry Potter:  A World of Possibilities

As the buzz surrounding a “Cursed Child” movie adaptation continues to captivate fans, the perspectives of the original cast and creative minds involved provide valuable insights. Bonnie Wright’s willingness to embrace a limited role, Rupert Grint’s openness to the idea, and Daniel Radcliffe’s cautious approach all contribute to the evolving narrative of the wizarding world’s cinematic future. While the fate of this project remains uncertain, the magic of Harry Potter endures, offering a world of endless possibilities.
