Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell Bower call off engagement

Great news for Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley is back on the market!

Bonnie Wright, who portrayed the youngest Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, has called off her engagement to Jamie Campbell Bower, whom she met on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I.

The couple announced their engagement in April 2011 but never set a date. Bower and Wright have both kept busy schedules since the engagement and it appears that might be the reason for the split. The two English actors have been playing the long distance game with Wright in America filming Shakespeare's Daughter, meanwhile Bower in England where he is preparing for his third franchise, The Mortal Instruments.

Let's not forget that Bower plays a Volturi in the Twilight Saga, so this Twilight/Harry Potter relationship was probably doomed from the start. Sparkly vampires and badass wizards are like water and oil, they don't mix.

It is always sad to see a couple fizzle out, especially when the couple looked so happy walking the red carpet together last year! Alas, young love is a fickle thing. With both of them pursuing the crazy life of an actor, it is no surprise that they are calling it quits.

Bonnie doesn't look to beat up over the split, last week she appeared relaxed and full of life on the New England set of Shakespeare's Daughter.

Wright also recently graduated from London College of Communication and in May she made a directorial debut in Cannes with an 11-minute short titled, Separate We Come, Separate We Go. Needless to say, Wright has probably had very little time to plan a wedding, let alone be in a relationship.

And, on the bright side, now we can continue to pretend that she and Daniel RadcliffeHarry Potter will live happily ever after together.

Bonnie Wright And Jamie Campbell Bower Confirm Engagement

There have been rumors of a Harry Potter/Twilight engagement for several months, but Jamie Campbell Bower of Twilight only recently confirmed the rumors regarding him and girlfriend Bonnie Wright to be true.

Bower, 22, and Wright, 20, are keeping the details of the wedding a secret. I respect their privacy. However, because I am currently avoiding any real work, I shall now speculate on the likely time of said nuptials.

Since the final installment of Harry Potter is coming out in June, I'm sure Wright and Bower, who portrays Gellert Grindelwald in the film, will be pretty busy in June and July with various premieres. Then, the next Twilight film is slated for release in November, so Bower might be preoccupied that month. Although, Bower is not actually in Breaking Dawn Part 1, he is committed to the series so we may see him float around premieres for publicity purposes.

Thus, I conclude that if the marriage takes place this year, it will likely occur in May, August, September, October, or December. I'm leaning more toward late summer and early fall, especially since the two are both currently working on projects. An August wedding would maximize their honeymoon time but it is also one of the wettest months. My research suggests September or October will offer more pleasant weather, thus I conclude September is the month.

Now we wait and see...

Do you think Robert Pattinson will be invited to the wedding? He and Bower have worked on both series, though I'm sure even they'll admit that Harry Potter is clearly the superior one. Don't get me wrong; while I openly love Harry Potter, I also closetly enjoy the Twilight books. I wonder if the vampires and wizards will be seated separately at the reception?

Speaking of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I comes out on DVD/Blu Ray tomorrow!

And Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is just two months away!

I'm filled with so many conflicting emotions right now. I haven't felt both excited and sad like this since the book release of Deathly Hallows. Why must all good things come to an end? Why can't they last forever?
