Congratulations are in order for Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright, as the star has given birth!
The actress welcomed her first child with her husband Andrew Lococo, who she married in 2022 in a beautiful wedding held in California.
She announced the joyful news on Instagram on Wednesday, as she shared a sweet snap of her newborn son and shared his name.
Bonnie wrote: ‘Say hello to Elio Ocean Wright Lococo born at home on Tuesday 19th September.
‘We’re all healthy and happy. Andrew and I are so in love with our sun 🌞!’
She went on to say she was ‘so grateful’ to the birth team who made her journey ‘so joyous and expanding’.
‘Birth is the wildest experience!’
Bonnie added: ‘Birth workers are amazing 🕊️ ! Lastly thanks to Andrew my rock throughout birth quite literally as I squeezed onto you so tight and you never wavered.

‘Elio has the most tender loving papa. Ok hormonal emotional extra long caption over!’
Bonnie’s post was inundated with congratulations, many of which came from her former co-stars.
Luna Lovegood actress Evanna Lynch wrote: ‘Awwww congratulations Bonnie and Andrew!!! Welcome to Earth, Elio Ocean!!! 💙🌊 ps. Hermione’s birthday twin, I’m sure you’ve been told!!’
The 32-year-old, whom many saw as a youngster wishing Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry luck in the 2001 film Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, revealed her pregnancy in April, calling it a “humbling journey.”
Sharing beautiful pictures of herself cradling her baby bump while standing with her husband, she wrote at the time: ‘We’re having a baby! So excited to share this beautiful land with them.
‘What a wild and humbling journey pregnancy is, transforming to make space for new life.
‘Andrew and I can’t wait to meet our baby later this year and become parents.’
Bonnie and Andrew’s wedding photos were made public a year after their wedding, with the bride wearing a gorgeous frilled gown and the groom sporting a sleek blue suit.
Later, for the reception, the actress donned an ivory satin gown with a half-up, half-down hairstyle.
Having shared the photographs with Brides magazine, Bonnie shared: ‘It was important to reflect our love for the environment and use sustainable materials instead of any single-use packaging, lean into our creativity and make things ourselves, and source everything as locally and seasonally as possible.’
She explained that she and her husband wanted their celebration to be ‘intimate’ and for their guests to ‘feel present and relaxed’.
‘Our vision was to make it both a celebration of love and community. The ceremony took place amongst rows of growing vegetables, so there was already a lot of colour!’ she added.
Bonnie and Andrew initially became romantically involved in September 2020, when they exchanged photos of themselves on Instagram.
The actress has joined a slew of other Harry Potter stars who have become parents after earning a reputation for themselves as child performers in recent years… who are all making us feel older and older by the day.
Daniel and his fiancée Erin Darke welcomed a son earlier this year, while Rupert Grint and his partner Georgia Groome have a daughter due in 2020.
The colour lavender brown Jessie Cave has four children with comedian Alfie Brown, while Devon Murray, who portrayed Seamus Finnigan, has a son with Shannon McCaffrey Quinn.
