Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright is preparing to welcome a new little wizard into her family.
“Two babies on my lap 🐣,” Wright, 35, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, April 5, sharing a new photo of Elio, 2, resting his head on her bare belly to announce her pregnancy. “Our second little earthling [is] joining us this autumn!!”
Wright, who played Ginny Weasley in the OG Harry Potter films, received a flurry of supportive messages from her former costars.
“Ahhh congratulations Bonnie!!! 🥰💞,” Evanna Lynch wrote via Instagram comment.
Wright and her husband, Andrew Lococo, previously welcomed Elio in September 2023.
“Say hello to Elio Ocean Wright Lococo, [he was] born at home on Tuesday 19th September,” Wright wrote via Instagram at the time, announcing her son’s birth. “We’re all healthy and happy. 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 added, “Birth is the wildest experience! … During these healing postpartum days we’ve been visited by some angels thank you @meaghan_snider_ @motherbees and @themilkywaymamas 🕊️ and thank you @ccmeyer for your incredibly informative course I took in the early weeks of pregnancy. Birth workers are amazing!”
Wright further thanked Lococo, whom she married in 2022, for his unwavering support, calling him her “rock throughout birth.”
“I squeezed onto you so tight and you never wavered,” she concluded. “Elio has the most tender loving papa.”
As Elio has grown up, Wright has enjoyed teaching him about her and Lococo’s passions.
“These days have been spent getting closer to the land, watching Elio and Andrew sift compost and play in the garden,” Wright gushed via Instagram in January. “Getting lost in books at the library, working on new Hello Earthling projects, building trains and puzzles with Elio [and] watching him grow into this determined, chatty, funny and busy little boy who always has time to stop for a kiss and a cuddle.”
While Elio has found a knack for the outdoors, Wright also hopes that her son will eventually explore the Harry Potter wizarding world.
“I mean, I can’t force it on him, but I’m definitely gonna positively encourage reading it,” the actress exclusively told Luxury Handbag Shopping in September 2024. “I hope to read it to him … but I definitely will make sure we read the books before we watch the movies. Could be like reading a book, [then] watching a movie. But I’m definitely gonna make sure we go through the books. I also remember growing up with the audiobooks, so maybe the audiobooks would be nice.”
