Bonnie Wright is a newcomer to the Harry Potter films. Bonnie plays Ron Weasley's sister, Ginny. At 11 years old, she's just getting started in movies, but Bonnie has plenty of other interests. We talked to Bonnie about soccer, surfing, and traveling around the world.
Q: Have you read all of the Harry Potter books?
Bonnie: Yes. I finished the fourth one when I was 10. I think they get better and better with each one, but there's a really good storyline in book four.
Q: Why do you like the Harry Potter books?
Bonnie: Well, it's magic! It's different from stories set in normal life and, like I said, it has a really good storyline. Plus, I like all of the characters.
Q: Who's your favorite character?
Bonnie: Hagrid, because he's a giant. He looks really mean on the outside, but he's really soft on the inside.
Q: Did you, Daniel, Emma, or Rupert see each other off the set?
Bonnie: Yes. We just talked and kind of hung out.
Q: What do you like to do for fun?
Bonnie: Well, I like [soccer] as a sport. I have done surfing for about a year. [I surfed in] Australia.
Q: It sounds like you're quite the traveler. How many countries have you been to?
Bonnie: America, Australia, India, Spain, Italy, and France.
Q: If you could go back to one place, where would you go?
Bonnie: I like France quite a lot, and I like Italy.
Q: What's your favorite school subject?
Bonnie: I like art and science. I like doing clay work. It's different from drawing on a page because you have something to mold into different shapes. It's quite visual, it's a thing you can hold and feel, and that makes it different from drawing.

Sunrise Over Fallujah
by Walter Dean Myers
Scholastic Summer Challenge Book Pick.
Operation Iraqi Freedom, that's the code name. But the young men and women in the military's Civil Affairs Battalion have a simpler name for it: WAR.In this new novel, Walter Dean Myers looks at a contemporary war with the same power and searing insight he brought to the Vietnam war of his classic, "Fallen Angels". He creates memorable characters like the book's narrator, Birdy, a young recruit from Harlem who's questioning why he even enlisted; Marla, a blond, tough-talking, wisecracking gunner; Jonesy, a guitar-playing bluesman who just wants to make it back to Georgia and open a club; and a whole unit of other young men and women and drops them incountry in Iraq, where they are supposed to help secure and stabilize Iraq and successfully interact with the Iraqi people. The young civil affairs soldiers soon find their definition of "winning" ever more elusive and their good intentions being replaced by terms like "survival" and "despair. "
Caught in the crossfire, Myers' richly rendered characters are just beginning to understand the meaning of war in this powerful, realistic novel of our times.
