Career
In 1999, a talent search for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's first "Harry Potter" novel, was held in the U.K. After Wright's brother said she "reminded him of Ginny," Bonnie, who had no acting experience other than school plays, asked her mother to let her audition for the film. Sheila sent Bonnie's photos to the casting directors, and Wright was asked to audition for producer David Heyman. After the audition, Wright's parents were soon informed that she got the role. She made her big screen debut at age 9, and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was 2001's highest-grossing film.
