9 Actors Who Hated Working On Harry Potter Movies

Though Bonnie Wright didn't appear to have quite as traumatic a time as the series' focal cast members, she has nevertheless opened up about how difficult it was being a young woman going through adolescence while shooting the films:

"It's not fun when you're a teenager and experiencing those things... You're growing into yourself and see photos of yourself like, 'Oh God!' Especially when you're changing so much every year."
"Whether or not you're on the internet or your own personal world, that's a journey every woman goes through - that battle of not caring about your physical body. It's not great having it across the internet, but it's a question of how much you want to distance yourself from it - that's what I've really learned."

However, Wright did also express relief that shooting came to an end just as the social media boom kicked off at the start of the 2010s:

"I feel very lucky and pleased that when we were filming Harry Potter, social media didn't really exist... That was an incredibly lucky thing. I wasn't a nine-year-old with a Twitter account. I'm thankful."
