Bonnie Wright, the actress who played Ginny in Harry Potter, has become a mother for the second time, welcoming her second child with her husband Andrew Lococo. She made the announcement on Saturday. The 35-year-old actress announced the birth of her baby boy in a post to her 3.7 million followers on Instagram on Saturday. The baby was born at home on September 28. Named after a star-shaped flower, the baby was given the name Aster Sky Wright Lococo. Elio welcomed him with love. Wright wrote that her son was welcomed with love by his older brother Elio, and the news drew many congratulatory messages. In the shared photos, the baby is seen sleeping, in Wright’s arms, and in a stroller with Elio. Wright, who began acting at the age of 9 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, appeared in all 8 films of the series and later turned to independent films and theater. Wright is an environmental activist. She works with organizations such as Greenpeace and Rainforest Alliance. Wright and Lococo announced their relationship in September 2020 and married in California two years later. Their first child, Elio Ocean Wright Lococo, was born in 2023. The actress was previously engaged to her co-star Jamie Campbell Bower; the couple split in 2012.
Why it matters
Bonnie Wright becoming a mother for the second time is a current example showing that the child actors of the Harry Potter series have now grown into adults starting families of their own. Developments in the life of Wright, who appeared in all eight films of the series she first stepped in front of the camera for at the age of nine, still interest a wide audience that grew up alongside the series; the large number of congratulatory messages received in response to the birth announcement also shows that this interest endures. The actress sharing the news directly, without intermediaries, with her 3.7 million followers on Instagram is a typical reflection of the current communication landscape in which celebrities announce their personal news through their own channels rather than traditional media. Together with Wright’s post-series turn toward independent films, theater, and environmental work with organizations such as Greenpeace and the Rainforest Alliance, this announcement once again leaves open the question of whether the actress will return to major productions.
