Bonnie Wright’s growing family

Bonnie and Andrew first announced they were expecting Elio in April 2023. Sharing an Instagram photo of the couple, with Bonnie showing her bump, she wrote: “We’re having a baby! So excited to share this beautiful land with them. What a wild and humbling journey pregnancy is, transforming to make space for new life. 

“Andrew and I can’t wait to meet our baby later this year and become parents. It feels like they’re coming to say hello in the little rainbow orb across my belly.”

After his arrival, Bonnie reflected on the journey in June 2024, writing: “Sat in the garden reflecting on Elio’s 9 months in my belly and 9 months earthside. What a wild journey this is.”

What has Bonnie Wright done after Harry Potter?

Since starring as Ginny in the Harry Potter film franchise, Bonnie continued acting, with her latest credit in A Christmas Carol in 2018.

She has since focused on her production company, BonBonLumiere, and executive produced her documentary Go Gently, which explores eco-friendly practices on the US West Coast.

Speaking to HELLO! at the time, Bonnie admitted that maintaining an eco-friendly lifestyle isn’t always easy. “I think it’s important to compromise when we need to. Life happens sometimes, and we can’t always make the choice we’d prefer.”

Alongside her work as an environmental activist and filmmaker, Bonnie is also launching a new brand, Hello Earthling Kids Club. Taking to Instagram, she shared more about the platform, which launches on 7 April and aims to offer child-friendly activities for ages three to six.

“My Hello Earthing platform for kids is growing,” she began. “We have always been about fostering that connection that kids have with themselves and the living world that they belong to. But I know as a mother to a toddler, it’s not always as simple as just telling my child to go play outside. 

“I wanted to create something hands on, child-led and easy, and that’s why we dreamt up the Earthling Kids Club, a printable activity membership for children ages three to six each week, an activity lands in your inbox, designed for inside, outside and everywhere in between. No other thinking. Just print play and see where it takes you.”
