Bonnie Wright Talks Her Living Below the Line with Huffington Post
Posted by Megs

Yesterday Bonnie Wright participated in HuffPostLive to talk about Global Poverty Project’s week of living ‘Below The Line’ which Bonnie is participating in again. As part of the program, participants survive on under $1.50 a day (for food), like 12 million individuals across the globe do everyday involuntarily. View the videos of Bonnie talking about the initiative over at Huffington Post and get involved if you can! Make sure to follow along on her Twitter to see how she is Living Below the Line and sponsor her over at her fundraising page.

She was also asked a few Potter questions and talked about the series:

“[The Fantastic Beasts trilogy is] going to be pre-everything that’s happened, so my character wasn’t even born,” she said. “I think our dedication to ten years of that story and our involvement was more than I ever could’ve wanted or asked for so,” she explained. “I think we all took our characters to where they could be taken and I think it’s exciting for the next story that she’s going to tell, and the people who are going to be involved.”

Bonnie Wright Talks Oxfam, Harry Potter & More In New Interview
Posted by Megs

In a new interview with The London Evening Standard, Bonnie Wright talks about her career, visiting music festivals, Harry Potter and even her beau. Next month she will be starring in The Sea, the film adaptation of John Banville’s novel. She is also finishing two films she directed, and acting in another that has not been revealed yet.

In the interview they talk about the recent breakfast Bonnie hosted with her mother to raise money for Oxfam’s Mother Appeal which raises money to help mothers worldwide lift themselves and their families out of poverty. Oxfam asked her to become an ambassador after a visit to Senegal in 2012 and they hosted a breakfast earlier this month to raise money and awareness.

Events like [the breakfast], supported by the Government, “are good because life can be quite solo”. She mentions community again, “people miss getting together”. “And Government support makes people go ‘wow’, we have to support it. What’s important is it shows the government’s respect for those who are trying to raise money even in a time where things are financially difficult for people.”

A video that Oxfam uploaded to YouTube from her breakfast may be watched below:

She also talks a little about her start in Harry Potter, which is all thanks to her brother:

It was her older brother Louis, now a 26-year-old fine artist, who started her career. “He told me I remind him of Ginny. You believe everything your older brother says. We asked my mum and she didn’t know how to go about getting me an audition but being a driven mother she called up Bloomsbury, who gave her the number for the casting director.”

Harry Potter is “10 years of good memories”. “I know any step I go on to now is thanks to that and I’ll never forget it’s been part of my foundation.” She even kissed Daniel Radcliffe — “It was unusual. We’d known each other eight years. I was 17 so it wasn’t my first kiss. It becomes mechanical in front of lots of people but it’s better than it being a stranger, someone you’ve never met.” Radcliffe is: “an incredibly hard working guy who never does anything by halves or loosely”.

And as for the recent remarks from J?K Rowling that Harry should have ended up with Hermione, she says: “Ginny would have dealt with it. She’s a capable, independent woman.”

Posted by Megs

Bonnie Wright recently appeared on an episode of The Great Sport Relief Bake Off on BBC.  The episode is available for viewing on the BBC iPlayer and via YouTube below for those of us not in the UK.

Sue Perkins hosts the first episode, in which cricketer Michael Vaughan, James Bond and Downton Abbey actress Samantha Bond, Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright and broadcaster Johnny Vaughan enter the tent. For the signature challenge they must make sandwich biscuits, for the technical challenge a tarte tatin and for the showstopper a 3D novelty cake, which must represent a sporting landmark.

They are baking for Sport Relief to inspire everyone at home to do the same and raise money for those who really need help. Olympic gold-medallist Nicola Adams visits South Africa to meet those who benefit from a local community centre offering young people the chance to get off the streets and learn sports, including boxing. She meets Tony and sees first-hand how Sport Relief money can help give children like him the chance to get off the streets. Your donation really can help change lives.
