"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!"
Her Harry Potter co-stars were quick to congratulate the couple, with Luna Lovegood actress Evanna Lynch writing: "Awwww congratulations Bonnie and Andrew!!! Welcome to Earth, Elio Ocean!!! P.S. Hermione's birthday twin, I'm sure you've been told!!"

Fred Weasley star James Phelps wrote: "Huge congratulations!", and Scarlett Hefner, who played Pansy Parkinson, added: "Congratulations!! Welcome Elio, he's beautiful."
Meanwhile, earlier this month the star opened up on her time in the wizarding franchise, detailing her 'frustration' over a lack of screen time.
"Inevitably, a lot of the scenes of every character were chopped down from the book to the films. So you didn't really have as much to show in the films. [It was a] little disappointing because there were parts of the character that just didn't get to come through because there weren't the scenes to do that. That made me feel a bit anxious or just frustrated, I guess."
