Harry Potter's Bonnie Wright Reveals Which House She Hopes 11-Month-Old Son Elio Would Be Sorted Into (Exclusive)

Bonnie Wright already has a Hogwarts house in mind for her child.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the Back to Hogwarts event at Grand Central Terminal in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 1, the actress who played Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter movies, revealed that she has an idea for which house the Sorting Hat would place her 11-month-old son, Eli Ocean.

“I think my husband is a Hufflepuff,” Wright, 33, tells PEOPLE of husband Andrew Lococco. “He doesn’t really understand the importance of being sorted. I sorted him in Hufflepuff.”

“And I thought Elio was Hufflepuff, but now I’m not sure. I’m hoping he’ll be Slytherin, but I also can’t project,” adds the actress, whose character is placed in Gryffindor. “I have to let him be who he is.”

Harry Potter Star Bonnie Wright and her husband welcome their first child together: ‘Birth is the craziest experience!’

Even though her son is still so young, Wright says she already has plans to introduce him to the iconic franchise.

“People worked for 5 years [which] It seems like a good age to start reading books and showing parts of movies,” Wright says. “I’m counting down my four years.”

“I have to wait, but I can’t wait. I mean, I like reading them out loud. I like audiobooks. So let’s hope he’s a fan.”

Last September, Wright shared that she had welcomed her first child with Lococo, revealing the happy news on Instagram.

The new mom wrote a heartfelt — and what she called a “hormonally emotionally extra long” — caption announcing their son’s due date, as well as sharing her gratitude to those who helped her family during their birth “journey.”

Wright’s associate Harry Potter students celebrated the arrival of Eli Ocean’s baby in the comments, including Evanna Lynch — who played Luna Lovegood in the franchise. “Awwww congratulations Bonnie and Andrew!!! Welcome to Earth, Elio Ocean!!! 💙🌊.”

Lynch added a part Harry Potter trivia, noting that Elio Ocean shares a birthday with the popular character, “ps. Hermione’s birthday twin, I’m sure they told you!!”

Her on-screen brother, James Phelps, also commented on her post. “Big congratulations!!”
