Wright also mentioned that she would like to see the evolution of other characters and storylines that were prominent in the books but not fully explored in the films. She specifically highlighted her interest in seeing more of characters like Neville and Luna. As a fan of the books, she hopes the series will bring these beloved aspects to life.

Reflecting on her experience filming the original series, Wright noted that the absence of social media at the time allowed the cast to work without the intense public scrutiny that today’s actors face.
