Angelina krijgt later een grotere rol,
als ze aanvoerder van het Griffoendor team word (dat was toch Angelina?).
Maarja, dat verfilmen ze waarschijnlijk amper, omdat het niet belangrijk is voor het verhaal.

Verder vind ik nog niet veel van haar. Ik vond d'r wel knap. Ze speelde ook wel aardig.

Ik denk dat ze dat er uitlaten. Ik heb namenlijk wat gelezen. >> Het zwerkbal komt er niet in dus zij waarschijnlijk ook niet<<

Dat vind ik dan wel jammer ^^ Want ik vond haar leuk spelen in GOF. Ook dat gezicht wat ze trekt tijdens de scene waar George of Fred haar mee vraagt naar het Bal. Eerst zo leuk geiriteerd en vervolgens blij dat hij haar vraagt. Vind ik wel grappig.

@Sweet Hermione; Jups, dat was inderdaad Angelina (;
@Helen; Je hebt gelijk... Er komt waarschijnlijk geen Quidditch in, wel jammer... Ik wil het commentaar en alles wel horen en natuurlijk wil ik Angelina in OotP wel als Quidditch captain zien! ^^

OMG, ik krijg echt steeds meer zin in WoW! Ik moet nog vragen bedenken, maar ik ga er zeker wat aan haar stellen ^^

Wioe- Eindelijk een topic! ^^
Ik vind haar wel goed gecast. Ze heeft de looks en ondertussen valt er niet echt waarvoor ik zou zagen. xP
Ik zal maar afwachten tot haar 'echte' acteerprestatie's, zoals in OotP. Very Happy

Ik kan niet echt een mening geven over haar acteerkunsten uit Harry Potter en ergens anders heb ik haar niet in gezien.
Qua uiterlijk vind ik haar redelijk gecast, ze kan een prima Angelina spelen.
Ik had haar alleen wat ieler en ietsje jonger verwacht Razz

Tiana speelt ook nog in de serie Eastenders.
Dat komt iedere werkdag op bbc1, het komt alleen niet op woensdag.
En morgen is er herhaling van de afleveringen van deze week dus misschien kan je morgen even naar Eastenders kijken en dan kan je haar zien acteren. Smile

Ik vind d'r goed in de serie.

Goh, het kleine stukje dat ik van haar gezien heb vond ik wle goed, maar haar er echt op beoordelen, vind ik wel moeilijk. Ze heeft gewoon het propje gepakt, zich omgedraaid en 'yeah, okay' gezegd, dus kwn, maar ik denk wel dat ze goed is, anders zou erniet in meedoen Smile

Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik niet veel op haar gelet hebt, maar dat betekent dat ze er ook niet uitgesprongen is. Dus aan de ene kant is dat goed [ze is dus niet bagger of zo] maar aan de andere kant kan ik me naast de scene in de Grote Zaal weinig van haar herinneren. Als ik zo even nadenk dan vind ik haar wel OK. Why not? xD

Ik heb de andere films van haar ook nog nooit gezien.
En zelfs als ik die films had gezien heeft ze wel bijna alleen maar gast rollen gespeelt. (Ik weet niet hoe groot die rollen waren hoor!)
Ik ben wel benieuwd hoe ze het gaat doen in de OvdF. (daar gaat ze toch ook naar de SVP? En in de HBP krijgt ze een nog grotere rol denk ik.
Ze word daarin door die ketting vervloekt dus ik ben benieuwd hoe ze dat zal gaan doen. Als ze dan nog Jansen zal spelen. Ik hoop het wel want dan heb ik een betere mening over haar.
greetsz mira

Angelique Jansen wordt niet vervloekt, maar Katja Bell.

Ik heb haar nooit echt zien acteren, dus ik kan ook geen mening geven. Ze ziet er trouwens wel goed uit.

Nieuw interview met Tiana Benjamin heb ik hier:

ENDERS MINX LIFTS LID ON ROLE
EXCLUSIVE EASTENDERS MANEATER CHELSEA LIFTS LID ON HER ROLE AS TOUGHNUT MINX
By Jon Wise
Leggy beautician Chelsea Fox has bedded her ex on a massage table and puckered up to EastEnders' hardman Grant Mitchell.

Since strutting into the square over a year ago in killer heels and a figure-hugging outfit, the mouthy Walford maneater has created haovoc.So it's somewhat of a surprise to discover that in the flesh actress Tiana Benjamin couldn't be further removed from her racy bitch alter-ego...

"I live out my bad side through Chelsea," she explains in an exclusive interview with The People. "The flirting, the seducing people, the beating up peole and being rude to your mum. "I get to say some of the best lines and punch and slap people. "I love being able to do that at work but my boundaries are not that broad.

"Chelsea is ruthless and glamorous, I'm more reserved and sensitive. I have never hit anyone in my life - I've seen a fight and they're pretty ugley." The 22-year-old bombshell - nominated for the Sexiest Female gong at last year's Inside Soap Awards - is set for her biggest storyline to date.

Fans will be shocked to see her frame bad boy ex-lover Sean Slater (played by Robert Kazin-sky) for the vicious attack on shopkeeper Patrick Trueman.

Despite her rising profile and pin-up status Tiana is determined not to let fame go to her head. "I keep my life exactly the same just because I know one day I won't be going work every day," she says. "It think less you change your life, the less of a shock it will be when that day does come.

"I try to stay as normal as I can. My mum wouldn't let me get away with it anyway. If it came to an end tomorrow I would be completely gutted but I'd look at it as if that's just the way it's meant to be.

"I love what I do and it really annoys me when people moan about the schedule - I don"t think that what I do hard work is hard at all. I enjoy it."

She's so happy in EastEnders that she wants to stay in the soap for as long as possible, even if that means turning into the next Pat Butcher, "As long as I get to wear the earrings," she grins.

Striking Tiana, at 5ft 9ins, is taller than she looks on screen and at a slender size 10 has a fantastic figure - one which has previously had model scouts begging her to go on their books.

But she says: "I have never thought of myself as being anything special. I'm more into trying to be the best I can at acting than being a sex symbol. It's just not me - I get very embarrassed."

She adds: "One person may think you are stunning and one person may think you're ugly so there's no point getting your knickers in a twist about it. I have always been comfortable in my own skin."

She's not fussed about becoming a size zero either.

"I have got a big backside and I am sure that everyone has noticed," she laughs as we chat over a drink in a trendy London bar. "It looks really big on the television. I didn't even know I looked that big from behind. I was shocked.

"But that's the way I'm made. Everyone in my family has a big bum so I am proud of it."

And her army of admirers will be pleased to hear that Tiana isn't shy when it comes to taking off her clothes.

She says: "I don't have a problem with nudity at all. You don't want to be seen to be taking your clothes off for the wrong reasons, but I would do it.

"As long as the part needed it and wasn't unnecessarily about getting your bits out and it told a story then I really haven't got a problem with it."

When Tiana landed the role of Chelsea last May, she faced the hardest decision of her life.

She was signed up for the fifth Harry Potter movie, The Order Of The Phoenix, after having played Angelina Johnson in Harry Potter: The Goblet Of Fire. Tiana became good mates with Emma Watson, aka Hermione Granger, during filming but a clash in schedules meant she had to decide between the soap or the blockbuster movie.

"You don't want to upset Warner Brothers," she laughs.

"It was a tiny part and my mum keeps telling me I have to stop banging on about it but I am really proud of it.

"EastEnders offered me Chelsea and I was like: 'Oh no, will I be able to do Harry Potter as well'. I know it sounds a bit greedy but it was Harry Potter.

"We tried to sort it out and they were going to work around it. Then EastEnders said they were having problems because Harry Potter kept changing.

And so they told me I had to make a choice. I have been an EastEnders fan my whole life so I chose them."

Despite being modest about her role in the film, she managed to catch the eye of Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.

"We got on really well and there was a rumour he fancied me," giggles Tiana. "Apparently he had a bit of a crush."

Unfortunately for the actor, however, Tiana has already found herself a man.

"I am seeing someone," she smirks. "It is really early stages and he is quite a private person - he's not in the industry in any way. I just don't want to make him a part of what I do.

"We started going out three months ago. When I first saw him I thought he was really sexy - and I still do. He's got such a lovely smile and he's looking after mereally well. He is incredibly supportive of me. We'll see how it all goes but I am very happy."

She adds, coyly: "I'd love to get married one day and I'd love to have children, but not just yet - maybe when I'm 32."

And far from being a femme fatale like her EastEnders character, Tiana reveals that she's actually not as bold when it comes to the opposite sex. "I'm less forward when it comes to boys," she explains. "I never make the first move, I have never asked a boy out and I never will."

A healthy dose of bravado is something she values. "I go for someone who's comfortable in his own skin. Confidence is always really sexy," she says.

"Someone who can laugh at himself and make me laugh too."

Just four years ago it looked like her dreams of becoming an actress had been shattered when she couldn't afford to take up a place at the prestigious LAMDA drama school.

"I really wanted to go," she sighs. "I was really upset with them for charging so much money. Acting isn't about what kind of family or financial situation you are in. It's about whether you've got the potential to be a good actor. And I think they are missing the point a bit."

She adds: "EastEnders is like a drama school for me, but I have 9million people watching and they are all seeing the mistakes I make. I have had to learn really quickly."

She grew up in North London and had an absent father. "I do see my father occasionally," she says. "He's proud of my acting and he's chuffed I'm in EastEnders. But I've never wished that I had a dad around."

Her mum Janice, a support worker for children with disabilities, raised Tiana, her older sister and younger brother single-handedly. "We have a fantastic relationship and I love her to death," she says proudly.

Tiana started her career as a dancer in pop videos for chart topping acts.

"I saw Jamelia's video and really liked the dancing," she says. "My friend's cousin was in it and I asked where he trained He went to Pineapple Studios in London. So I went there at 15, four times a week.

"I did a Saturday job to pay for it. I worked at a hairdressers, making tea and answering phones, which was hard work.

"At the end of the class someone came up to me and asked if I would like to be in a video for Artful Dodger and so I did that and then got really lucky.

"I ended up doing Blue and Damage and Dido, from the age of 17 onwards.

"They would always put me in little hot pants to show off my legs because I am quite tall. I think that's why I am able to stay in shape. I hate the gym and never go on a diet."

She has a far more fun way to keep in shape - pole dancing. "It's really good exercise," she says. "It's normal now to have one in your front room so I decided to go ahead and buy one."

Plus, she adds, she burns up a fair few calories clubbing: "I'm crazy on the dance floor. If there's a tune playing, I can't sit still."

Tiana, who appeared in dramas including The Bill, Dalziel and Pascoe and The Last Detective before joining Walford's finest, says despite the adulation that comes with appearing in the soap, she is still a good judge of character.

She says: "My mum has brought me up to see through people.

I am quite good at gauging why someone is talking to me.

"I don't worry about people trying to sell stories about me - if I did I would be a nervous wreck."

Tiana is excited about the future for Chelsea.

She says: "I never thought I would end up being in the show that I loved so much. It's amazing."

And there are millions of fans who would agree.

'I never make the first move. I have never asked a boy out and never will'
