SPOILER!!: Bonnie Wright No. magazine interview.

"In this film you get to see the girls come into the light a bit more," says Wright. "They lead quite a few things. I think it's quite cool they're given the freedom. What is great about this film is that relationships come out. Obviously it appeals to children, but it's definitely not a children's film."
Quote:
"I think that what this film really shows is that girls tend to mature quicker than the guys and they leave the guys lagging behind," laughs Wright. "It's a big change for [Ginny] – she becomes independent and mature. I think, as a result of having so many older brothers, she has become quite quick at answering back, and fearless. That's a trait a certainly admire."
Quote:
"My first scene to shoot was the kiss," admits Wright. "I think knowing someone that long, and having never seen them ‘in that way' – they're a friend who you are working with – and then suddenly you find out that's what you are doing…[you] don't want to make it so awkward and tense that all those things get caught on camera! You don't sort of discuss these things; you just sort of do it. It was definitely less scary than I thought it would be."

Fans of the films and books will know Ginny as the studious and calm younger sister of Ron Weasley, much like Wright herself. "She's quite calm sometimes. She doesn't feel there's a need to be very energetic or forward, and I think that's what Harry likes about her. So many people come up to him as ‘the chosen one' yet [Ginny and Harry] they find each other and slowly come to realize why they like each other eventually through these traits. You can channel quite a bit of your own experiences into your own character."
Quote:
"The thing I love about the [Potter] films is the slightly feminist idea that neither Hermione nor Ginny are terribly ‘glamorous' in any way," she continues. "I think there are so many films that have this perfect depiction of parts – perfect symmetrical features. I remember when I was younger watching films and thinking, ‘They all look so perfect, pretty and confident'. Luckily, the protection of the whole bubble that we are in, none of us have been exposed or anything like that, in that way."
Quote:
Her grounded approach also sterns from her experience and interest in the film industry as a valid and valued art form – not simply, ‘art for art's sake'. "Craftsmanship in art and film is somewhat lost in the art world," she opines. "The art world has had so many more people involved in it – even if they're not talented in any way, they are not practiced artists in any sense. People tend to think that the art world, the film world is more accessible, that even without learning or background, that they can suddenly be an artist, a practiced artist."
