## Biography

### Early life Template:C

Angelina was born in late October ***1977*** on or in between the ***24th*** and ***30th***. When she was eleven, Angelina was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and visited Diagon Alley to purchase the required equipment for school, including her wand.

#### Early years

Template:Dialogue a-b

 File:Angelins scores goal.gif
Angelina began attending Hogwarts in 1989, when she was nearly twelve years old, and was sorted into Gryffindor House. At some point in her education, Angelina Johnson borrowed Template:QTA from the Hogwarts Library, and was due to return the book on ***19 July***. She became a ***Chaser*** on the Gryffindor Quidditch team by or before her third year. Angelina was a popular student, and friends with fellow Gryffindors Alicia Spinnet, Fred and George Weasley, Katie Bell, and Lee Jordan; the latter appeared to be attracted to Angelina, making various admiring comments about her when he commentated on Quidditch games.

Angelina did not like the way that Oliver Wood referred to his players as "men" or "lads", as she, along with Katie Bell and Alicia Spinnet were female players and she would often have to correct him whilst he gave motivational speeches before games in the locker rooms. In 1991, the famous Harry Potter would arrive at Hogwarts, and after Professor McGonagall witnessed his flying skills, she appointed him ***Seeker*** for the team and Angelina would play alongside him in his first game. During an early Quidditch match, Severus Snape officiated instead of Madam Hooch and he called a penalty against Angelina during a Hufflepuff-Gryffindor game.

When playing against Slytherin, Angelina seemed to be an open target for a group take-out: she was boxed in by two players and knocked off her broom during one game. In 1992, Hogwarts was under threat of closure as the Chamber of Secrets had been declared open once again and Muggle-born students were being attacked. As a precaution against this, a Duelling Club was organised and Angelina attended the first gathering with her friends Katie Bell and ***Alicia Spinnet***, and the three fought over Professor Gilderoy Lockhart's cloak when he slung it into the audience.

> Pansy Parkinson's taunt during first Quidditch practice, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Angelina was described to be a tall, pretty witch with dark skin, brown eyes and long black hair that was often braided. Angelina was attractive, receiving romantic advances and affection from multiple classmates, such as Lee Jordan and Fred Weasley. Pansy Parkinson mocked Angelina's appearance (among many other Gryffindors), claiming that her braided hairstyle resembled that of ***worms***, but given Pansy's nastiness and bias, her evaluation was most certainly untruthful.

## Personality and traits

> Angelina's seriousness about being Quidditch captain, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Angelina Johnson was very driven to succeed, whether it be at Quidditch or in trying out for the ***Triwizard Tournament***. Angelina showed diligence and leadership ability as Quidditch Captain of her team, as well as competitiveness. She was also brave, as shown by her sorting into Gryffindor and her decision to return to Hogwarts to fight in the ***Battle of Hogwarts*** alongside old classmates and friends.

Given her friendship and eventual romantic involvement with both Weasley twins, it is likely that Angelina also enjoyed pranks and had a good sense of humour. However, her sense of humour did not compromise her seriousness about Quidditch. Angelina wouldn't hesitate to give her blunt opinion, telling Harry Potter that Ron Weasley was not a fabulous Quidditch player. She also became enraged at Harry when he kept getting detentions from Dolores Umbridge, but apologised later.

* **Flying**: In her seventh year Angelina became captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. She was also on the team during 1990-1991, which was towards the end of her second year onwards, showing her skill and talent as a Quidditch player and broomstick flyer.
* **Duelling**: Angelina was a member of ***Dumbledore's Army*** during her seventh year at Hogwarts, where she was taught how to perform martial magic, thanks to Harry Potter's exemplary teaching. She later fought in and survived the ***Battle of Hogwarts***, showing she was a highly skilful duellist, to have survived such a bloody and violent battle.
* **Care of Magical Creatures**: Angelina must have passed her O.W.L. exam with a high grade, because she stated in her seventh year that Hagrid was a much better teacher, meaning that she must have advanced to the ***N.E.W.T.*** class.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Father

It is likely that Angelina has a good relationship with her ***father***, as she cared for him when he was sick.

#### Fred Weasley

Angelina became friends with both Fred and George Weasley, Gryffindor students in her year who were on the Gryffindor Quidditch team with her. The two attended the ***1994*** ***Yule Ball*** together. When Angelina became the team Captain in ***1995***, she was upset with the twins for getting banned from Quidditch, since it hurt the team's chances to be without them. The two fought alongside one another during the ***Battle of Hogwarts***.

#### George Weasley

 File:Georges.PNG
Angelina and George Weasley were good friends throughout their Hogwarts years. Fred's death devastated them both, and it may have been their shared grief that led to the two becoming closer. Angelina and George eventually married and had two children, ***Roxanne Weasley*** and ***Fred Weasley II***

#### Children

After the Second Wizarding War, Angelina married George Weasley and they had two children; a son, named ***Fred Weasley II***, in honour of George's brother, and a daughter, ***Roxanne***.

#### Nieces and nephews

Angelina had also several nieces and nephews through George's siblings: Victoire, Dominique and Louis, Bill and Fleur's children; Molly and Lucy, Percy and Audrey's children; Rose and Hugo, Ron and Hermione's children; and ***James***, ***Albus*** and ***Lily***, Ginny and Harry's children. It is supposed that Angelina and George had a good relationship with his nieces and nephews, and that they liked them. James also appeared to take after George, because they both enjoyed doing pranks and teasing their siblings.

### Lee Jordan

 File:LeeJordan.jpg
Lee Jordan had a crush on Angelina and didn't hesitate to let her know it, often showing his attraction to her in his Quidditch commentaries. He also stated that Angelina had been refusing to go out with him, indicating that she didn't feel the same way. However, Angelina and Lee were both close to the Weasley twins, which probably hints they were friends themselves, although this was never made clear.

## Etymology

*Template:W* is a Latin diminutive of the name *Angela*, which is derived from the Greek άγγελος, *angelos*, meaning "messenger" or "angel". Johnson means "son of John".

## Behind the scenes

 File:Angelina Johnson LEGO.png
* Angelina is played by ***Danielle Tabor*** in the films *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* and ***Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban***.
* Tiana Benjamin was unable to reprise the role in ***Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*** because her role in *EastEnders* was at a point of character development and she could not get time out of this role to film for *Harry Potter*. However, Benjamin did voice the character for the ***video game adaptation***. This led to confusion among fans as Tiana had said she would return as Angelina (referring to the video game), but people thought she was returning to the films.
