I have so much fun making these stories up!

Are you still enjoying being part of this world after all these years?

BONNIE WRIGHT: Of course!
I’ve now been able to process what the whole thing was from the other side.
I’ve learned so much and met so many incredible people.
Warner Bros. Pictures
I especially love meeting young fans who weren’t even alive when the movies were out.
I just think, “Wow!
This is going to keep going in that generational kind of way.”
It is for sure!
I particularly love all those opening scenes from the first book that establishes the whole world.
It definitely transports me back.
Are there any moments that have yet to be recreated that you’d love to see?
My favorite set always was the Burrows, the Weasley house.
I wish someone would make a part of the Burrows, even a little corner of it.
But we do have their car here, the Flying Ford Anglia.
Didn’t they have that on display at the London studio tour?
Yeah, maybe it’s been traveling around!
It’s a flying car, after all.
You’ve since found a career as a director.
Do you ever hit up any of your old directors and ask them for advice?
I have kept in touch and have been lucky to see them again through experiences like this one.
I catch them up on what I’ve been working on and they’ve been so supportive.
I’m really grateful for how supportive everyone has been of me.
Did you know you wanted to be a director while working on the films?
In fact, I was in my first year of film school when we shot the last film.
I wanted to be involved in the development.
My appreciation and curiosity for the process came to me through my years working on the films.
You and your former castmates keep in touch via a Harry Potter group chat.
What was the chatter about during the pandemic?
The typical thing where we check in on one another to see what we’ve been up to.
In theory, now, it’s been 11 years.
Last summer, we were all celebrating our 10 year anniversary of graduating from Hogwarts.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to have a delayed graduation celebration soon outside of our chat.
With both you and Prince Harry living in Southern California, have you guys met up yet?
[Laughs] Not all English people hang out together!
We have yet to cross paths.
