Bonnie Wright, known for her role as Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter series, recently opened up about the limited screen time her character received throughout the films. She shared her thoughts on the Inside of You podcast, and with a hint of disappointment pointed out the challenges of portraying the character in condensed movie adaptations.
“I definitely feel there was anxiety towards performing and doing the best thing as my character built, for instance,” Wright said (via Insider). “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. So you didn’t really have as much to show in the film.”
Wright added, “Sometimes that was a little disappointing because there were parts of the character that just didn’t get to come through because there weren’t the scenes to do that. That made me feel a bit anxious or just frustrated, I guess.”
