Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has opened up about the awkward moments and hidden romances that occurred behind the scenes. The actress, now expecting her first child with husband Andrew Lococo, shared insights into the on-set dynamics that shaped the cast's personal lives.
Wright dated Stranger Things star Jamie Campbell Bower, who played Gellert Grindelwald in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series. The couple got engaged in 2011 but split in 2012. A source at the time described the breakup as amicable, noting that things had not been going right for some time.
Another secret romance involved Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, and Robbie Jarvis, who portrayed a young James Potter. The pair dated for nine years before splitting in 2016. Lynch convinced Jarvis to go vegan during their relationship, and they remained friends after the breakup, attending vegan events together.
The adult cast also experienced romantic entanglements. Kenneth Branagh, who played Gilderoy Lockhart, fell in love with Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) while still married to Emma Thompson (Sybill Trelawney). Branagh divorced Thompson in 1995 and dated Carter until 1999. Thompson later said she made peace with Carter, and the trio now have a good relationship.
Emma Watson and Tom Felton have long faced romance rumours, with Watson admitting to having a 'massive crush' on Felton during filming. She recalled checking the call sheet daily for his number. Though the crush faded, they remain close friends, with Felton describing their bond as something special.
