Sixth Year |  *NEWS* The Basingstoke Gazette Interviews Bonnie
In a new interview with The Basingstoke Gazette, Bonnie talks about being a Weasley, things she may or may not have missed out on while being on set, on the set education, and much more. Quote: Q: What has it been like to step more into the limelight as Ginny has become more prominent?
A: In the first few books, she was the little sister of the Weasley family, but in the later books, she comes through more on her own.
It's been more fun doing this film as Ginny's character's developed. The six of us go through to the Ministry of Magic and it was really interesting to be a part of. Ginny's a bit more confident - I have definitely enjoyed that.
I started when I was nine and I'm sixteen now. It's nine months at a time from the beginning of shooting to when it comes out and I think I enjoy it better now because we've grown up together and when we're filming it's a really relaxed atmosphere. We're going to start the sixth film at the beginning of September.
When we all come back into the next film it's like coming back from the summer term, we're all kind of like, oh, you've grown. We all keep in contact when we're not filming. Different people live in different parts of England but we let each other know what we're up to at school and things.
I'm interested in doing more things because I think it'd be interesting to get a new challenge. I've got my exams coming up and it's quite hard to fit everything in.
Q: Do you feel you've missed out on anything, having spent so many years on set?
A:I haven't missed any of my education and luckily because I live in London, I've not had to move away from my home or my friends and that has really helped. The other people, I definitely admire them for being away from home for so long.
I don't think I have missed anything I'll really regret because I have been able to keep in touch with all my friends. Luckily when I go back to school, everyone's OK with me just doing that.
I think it has been beneficial in some subjects. When you're at school, there are some subjects you need a lot of discussion in, like maybe you're reading a book and you all discuss it. But I think when it's one to one, you can learn so much in an hour. There are no distractions and you have to concentrate.
Obviously when we're not filming, we're whipped straight back into tutoring to get your hours done.
Q: Is it an alternative kind of education to spend most of your formative years on a film set?
A: I think it's such an experience to watch it all happening, because it's such a big film, the top level of intensity and everyone's is the best in their field. It's amazing to learn from them. When you're on set, I find it interesting to talk to different people, the camera department, ask oh what's that?', or what does that do?' and they're all really open about talking to you.
I really enjoy acting but it wasn't something I'd thought, oh I want to be an actress. I always wanted to go to art school and I still do, so maybe I could work in the art department, or production design or costume design. That'd be really interesting.
Each new director gives a new energy to the film too. David Yates had such a clear vision of what he wanted the film to be and to watch that is really interesting. The main thing that we talked about was how Ginny has become more confident and more feisty - she's not just this little girl any more.
Q: What's good about being a Weasley?
A: We have a Christmas scene in Grimauld place and it's quite a dark atmosphere but our family brings a bit of life into it, some colour. I think the humour in the Weasley family brings things more alive.
Julie Walters, who plays Mrs Weasley is really kind of open and friendly towards all of us - she likes to have that family ring around us all. She's bubbly on set.
Q: Did you go to see Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry star in Equus in the West End?
A: I saw it and I enjoyed it. For him it was definitely a good, good thing to do, because you're so easily typecast as a child actor and I think it's a good move. The play was just amazing - I was so wrapped up in it all.
Q: What's it like to watch the other Potter films, given how young you are in them?
A: I haven't actually watched them for so long. It is yourself but it almost isn't because when I look back, I think is that me? I'm so tiny! | Source: SS News
