Bonnie Wright, best known to millions as Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter film series, has announced she is expecting her second child with husband Andrew Lococo. The 35-year-old actress shared the joyful news on Instagram on Easter Sunday, posting photos of herself cradling her 2-year-old son, Elio Ocean Wright Lococo, while hinting at the new addition to their family.
In the caption accompanying the carousel of images, Wright wrote, “Two babies on my lap,” she wrote in the caption, “our second little earthling joining us this autumn!!” One of the photos shows Elio leaning in to kiss his mother's stomach as they relax on the couch together, capturing a tender moment of anticipation and family bonding. The post quickly drew congratulations from fans and fellow Harry Potter alumni, including Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood and commented, “Ahhh congratulations Bonnie!!!” David Holmes, the stunt double for Daniel Radcliffe during the films, added his well-wishes, writing, “Congratulations, Bonnie.”
Wright and Lococo, who married in March 2022 after sparking romance rumors in 2020, welcomed their first child, Elio, in September 2023. At the time, Wright shared her excitement on Instagram, stating, “We’re all healthy and happy,” she wrote in an Instagram announcement at the time. “Andrew and I are so in love with our sun! So grateful for our birth team that have held our hands throughout and made the journey so joyous and expanding.” She described birth as “a wild experience” and expressed gratitude to her medical team, adding, “Birth workers are amazing,” she continued. “Lastly thanks to Andrew my rock throughout birth quite literally as I squeezed onto you so tight and you never wavered. Elio has the most tender loving papa.”
The couple's wedding was a low-key affair, with Wright revealing the news via an Instagram post featuring her unique wedding ring—a square blue stone that symbolized their commitment. Since becoming parents, Wright has balanced family life with her passion for the outdoors. She runs Earthling, a family outdoors club, and often shares glimpses of their nature-filled days. In a January Instagram post, she reflected on their routine, saying, “These days have been spent getting closer to the land, watching Elio and Andrew sift compost and play in the garden," she said in a January post. She added: “Building trains and puzzles with Elio. Watching him grow into this determined, chatty, funny and busy little boy who always has time to stop for a kiss and a cuddle.”
Wright's journey into motherhood comes as she continues to evolve beyond her iconic role in the Harry Potter franchise, where she portrayed Ron Weasley's sister and eventual love interest to Harry Potter from age 10 onward. After the films wrapped, she graduated from the London College of Communication and founded her production company, BonBonLumière, in 2012. Through it, she has directed short films such as Separate We Come, Separate We Go, starring David Thewlis (Remus Lupin), 2014's Know Thyself with Christian Coulson (Tom Riddle), and Medusa's Ankles featuring Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy). Her acting credits post-Potter include films like After the Dark and Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg?, with her most recent role in 2018's A Christmas Carol.
In 2021, Wright released her book Go Gently, offering tips on engaging in the climate movement, reflecting her growing interest in environmental activism. Before Lococo, she was engaged to Jamie Campbell Bower, who appeared as young Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, but they ended their relationship in 2012. She later dated Simon Hammerstein for several years. In 2019, Wright reunited with castmates including Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, and Evanna Lynch, captioning a group photo “Time turning” with a lightning bolt emoji, a nod to the series' enduring legacy.
The announcement arrives amid a wave of personal milestones for many Harry Potter stars, who have navigated life after the wizarding world with varied successes in acting, activism, and family. Daniel Radcliffe, who played the titular Harry, has built a diverse career post-Potter, starting with his Broadway debut in Equus in 2007, which included nudity and marked a departure from his child-star image. He followed with theater roles in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2011), The Cripple of Inishmaan, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and a Tony-winning performance in Merrily We Roll Along. On screen, Radcliffe starred in films like The Woman in Black, Victor Frankenstein, Swiss Army Man, The Lost City (2022) opposite Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, and portrayed "Weird Al" Yankovic in the 2022 biographical parody Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. He also did voice work for the animated series Mulligan and appeared in TV shows such as A Young Doctor's Notebook and Miracle Workers.
Radcliffe has been in a relationship with actress Erin Darke since meeting on the set of 2013's Kill Your Darlings, where he played poet Allen Ginsberg. The couple welcomed a son in April 2023. Emma Watson, who portrayed Hermione Granger, transitioned from child stardom to higher education, graduating from Brown University in 2014 with a degree in English literature. Her post-Potter films include The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring, Beauty and the Beast (2017) as Belle, and Little Women (2019) as Meg March. Watson stepped back from acting to pursue autonomy, telling British Vogue in 2023, "I’m just so glad that I did [step away from acting] because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don’t think I did before–more autonomy,” she told British Vogue in 2023. "I’m so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know [what’s next], because the knowing that I’ve come to, I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”
Watson's recent endeavors include enrolling in a creative writing program at Oxford, launching the gin brand Renais with her brother Alex Watson, directing commercials, modeling for Burberry and Lancôme, and activism on gender equality. Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, has appeared in British productions like The ABC Murders, Sick Note, CBGB, Moonwalkers, M. Night Shyamalan's Servant, and Knock at the Cabin. Reflecting on post-Potter life, Grint told Radio Times in 2018, "After Potter I didn't really know what I wanted to do," Grint told Radio Times in 2018. "I had this feeling that I had missed out on normal things. I lost touch with a lot of my friends from school. I wanted to have a bit of a life again, so I took a break. I've never really been super-ambitious. I think there's always been something in me, particularly when I finished Potter, that wants to prove myself, but I'm also naturally quite an insecure person anyway."
Grint and longtime girlfriend Georgia Groome welcomed daughter Wednesday G. Grint in May 2020 and became parents again in 2025 with the arrival of Goldie G. Grint. Matthew Lewis, known as Neville Longbottom, has focused on stage and screen work in England, including the BBC miniseries The Syndicate, Me Before You (2016), Terminal (2018) with Margot Robbie, Avoidance, All Creatures Great & Small, Baby Done, and Ripper Street. He praised his role in the BBC Three dramedy Bluestone 42 in 2015, telling RadioTimes.com, "Potter was an amazing and a unique experience that I was privileged to have been a part of," Lewis told RadioTimes.com, "but I've never been as involved with or as proud of a project as I have with Bluestone 42—I've had so much fun being a part of it, so much more than I've ever had before as an actor, definitely." Lewis married Angela Jones in 2018 and visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in October 2019, where they first met.
Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy, returned to the role on Broadway in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in 2025. His other credits include Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), Belle, A United Kingdom, a stint on The Flash (2016), Origin, Ophelia, Braking for Whales, Burial, and Some Other Woman. As a singer-songwriter, Felton has released several EPs. In his 2022 memoir Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard, he discussed childhood fame, substance abuse struggles, and his friendship with Watson, writing, "I've always had a secret love for Emma, though not perhaps in the way that people might want to hear," he wrote. "That isn't to say there's never been a spark between us. There most definitely has, only at different times." He clarified, "I don't think I was ever in love with Emma," Felton explained, "but I loved and admired her as a person in a way that I could never explain to anybody else." Felton dated Jade Olivia Gordon for seven years until 2016 and is now with Roxanne Danya.
James and Oliver Phelps, who played the Weasley twins Fred and George, have continued working together in films like Our Own Worst Enemy and Last Night in Soho. James has solo roles in Patchwork and Cadia: The World Within, and the brothers hosted the podcast Normal Not Normal and the cooking series Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking. Oliver married Katie Humpage in 2015 and they have two daughters; James wed Annika Ostle in 2016. Dev Patel, who played Dean Thomas, starred in four seasons of How to Get Away with Murder as Wes Gibbins, with a cameo in the 2020 finale, and has appeared in Foundation, The Couple Next Door, and Miss Austen. A graduate of The Queen's College, Oxford, Patel also did theater in England and roles in Broadchurch and Sherlock.
Christian Coulson reprised a young Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets despite being 23, and later played Damien George on Nashville, Sebastian in Mozart in the Jungle, Benjamin on High Fidelity, and Peter in Blood Brothers: Civil War. Katie Leung, cast as Cho Chang amid online backlash, spoke about the racism she faced on the Chinese Chippy Girl podcast in 2021, saying, "I was like, Googling myself at one point and I was on this website which was dedicated to kind of Harry Potter fandom and I remember reading all the comments. It was a lot of racist s--t," Leung said on the Chinese Chippy Girl podcast in 2021. "And then somebody had actually created a website, a hate site—it was like, if you disagree with this casting, then click on this button and then it would just be like a count of how many people disagreed with the casting and you would just see a number...I know, it's awful. It's so awful." Leung's credits include White Dragon, Chimerica, The Nest, voicing Caitlyn in Arcane, Nightsleeper, Annika, Chemistry of Death, The Peripheral, The Foreigner, and she joined Bridgerton for season four. She welcomed son Wolf in December 2022.
Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory, rose to fame with The Twilight Saga as Edward Cullen, dating co-star Kristen Stewart. His indie films include Maps to the Stars, Cosmopolis, The Rover, Good Time, and The Lighthouse, before returning to blockbusters as Batman in 2022's The Batman. Engaged to Suki Waterhouse since December 2023 after dating since 2018, they welcomed their first child in March 2024. Clémence Poésy, who portrayed Fleur Delacour, has worked steadily in Gossip Girl, In Bruges, The Tunnel, and Genius: Picasso, with her role in Tenant opposite her former Triwizard co-star noted in reports.
As Wright prepares for her family's expansion this autumn, her announcement underscores the lasting bonds formed during the Harry Potter years, with many cast members now embracing parenthood and new chapters. Fans continue to celebrate these updates, reflecting on how the series' magic has translated into real-life milestones for its stars.
