Ginny Weasley & Vecna: A Fairytale That Wasn't

Bonnie Wright, best known as Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter films, was once engaged to Jamie Campbell Bower, the actor who chillingly portrays Vecna in Netflix's Stranger Things. Eish, imagine that wedding!

The pair met on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 2010, where Jamie played a young Gellert Grindelwald. Romance blossomed, and they announced their engagement in April 2011. Jamie told the Daily, "I am engaged. I’m very happy. It’s a wonderful, wonderful time."

From Hogwarts to Hawkins...and Splitsville

Sadly, the fairytale ended in June 2012. Since then, both actors have moved on. Bonnie married Andrew Lococo in 2022 and welcomed their first child in September 2023. Jamie has been linked to other stars, including Lily Collins.

Despite the split, the internet is buzzing. Who knew Ginny Weasley and Vecna were almost husband and wife? This is the kind of drama that keeps South Africa talking!
