Actress Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) has contributed artwork for a series of album covers for the band Satus Quo, who are marking the fortieth anniversary release of their ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men’ single, as part of a charitable event benefiting the Prince’s Trust Charity. An image of the artwork, entitled “Time,” can be viewed right here via our Order partner BonnieWrightOnline.com. Miss Wright joins such other entertainers and artists as Jamie Cullum, Charles Billich, Brian Wilson, and Alice Cooper in providing original artwork to be auctioned off for the charity. The Prince’s Trust Charity aims to help young people reach their goals by providing the tools, education, and support the require. The Status Quo website, says this of Miss Wright and her contribution:

One of our youngest artists, but also one of our most famous, perhaps, is 17-year-old actress Bonnie Wright. Best known for her continuing role as Ginny Weasley in all five of the Harry Potter films – from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001 to the most recent, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – Bonnie is currently set to reprise her role in the next film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, where her Ginny character will be playing a leading role as Harry’s main love interest.

While the anniversary release event is invitation only, bidding for the original pieces created for the event is available online. Set to take place on November 5th at Bonhams, the online bidding is set to finish “midday on the day of the Bonhams auction and the highest bids transferred to the auction room at midday on 5th November (the highest bidders online will be given the opportunity to continue bidding).” Further information can be found right here.

Many thanks to our Order Partner Bonnie Wright Online.

a very beautiful piece…

It’s abstract. There are words, which I believe are taken from a Status Quo song (titled “Marguerita Time,” from which Bonnie’s piece takes it’s name). The lyrics read “Lost in a dream/ lost in a fantasy/ Lost in what seemed to be/ dreams to me/ Seemed to be/ had to be…” with the word “Quo” on the right-hand edge. Very nicely done, Bonnie! Congrats!

awesome for Bonnie :)

Now that Brad mentions the word ‘Quo’ being written on it, on the left side there seems to be a letter ‘L’ as well- so maybe it’s not the whole picture?

Interesting. Nice to see Bonnie in the News once in a while and for a good cause. Nice mountains

That’s awesome, and it’s for charity, even cooler. It’s a very beautiful abstract piece.

Wow Bonnie is a really talented artist,and I knew she was into art alot,but WOW I never knew she was really that good. Way to go Bonnie you rock.

WOW and DOUBLE WOW! I’m not one for Abstract Art, but this piece is exceptional, in my humble opinion. Not being an “art critic”, but enjoying art, for Art’s sake. What a talent! I hope it does well. Just “being famous” doesn’t make you a good artist. This young lady has what it takes for both! Well done, Ms Wright!
