Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright divides opinion after ‘censoring’ picture of her child

One internet troll bizarrely took major issue with the actress's Instagram post

Harry Potter was clearly a massive part of many of our childhoods so it only makes sense that Potterheads all over are as obsessed with the cast as they were with all the books and flicks when they first came on the scene.

And it's clear that Bonnie Wright - who starred as the beloved Ginny Weasley in the hit film franchise - is of no exception, with all 3.9 million of her Instagram followers always keen to receive updates on her life.

Now, Bonnie - who tied the knot with Andrew Lococo in 2022 before welcoming their first child together, Elio, in 2024 - took to social media on Sunday to upload a post for Mother's Day in the US, but she's since divided opinion due to 'censoring' an image of her little tot.

The post in question saw the mum-of-one smiling in what appears to be a garden in the sun as she holds Elio on her hip.

Bonnie made the decision to cover up parts of her son's body as well as his eyes in the post - something she is more than allowed to do given the fact it's literally HER child and HER Instagram.

"Thank you for making me a mother my angel boy," she captioned the sweet snap. "Blasting my heart wide open to the spectrum of feelings of being a parent. Holding them all at once. Walking step by step into the unknown.

"Every way you grow, I grow too. Thank you for keeping my eyes wide open to the world around us. My fierce, determined, cheeky, curious and affectionate boy."

The Harry Potter star concluded the caption: "I love you so much. Thank you Mother Earth for holding us."

While some people may have bizarrely hit out over the fact that Bonnie simply exercised her choice as a mother to protect her child's identity with one Instagram user writing: "What is the point if uploading pics and doing this? You either show the whole thing or you don’t upload. Seriously pointless," the majority of fans were beyond on-board.

A second pointed out: "She’s a mum, she has the right to not want to show her children online!"

"It’s her account, she can do what she wants," echoed a third while a fourth chimed in: "I love how she protects her child so much!"

A fifth likewise praised: "I love how you covered the baby omg!"

"I absolutely love how you censor your pictures," penned a sixth. "I do the same if my son is only in a diaper. I don’t want pictures of him shirtless or no pants on the internet. But sometimes the video or pictures are just too cute not to share."

Another beamed: "+10 points for Gryffindor!"

And a final Instagram user added: "Points to Gryffindor for protecting the minor's image. Say NO to sharenting!"
