Childhood and youth

Anna Shaffer was born on March 15, 1992, in London. Anna isn't an only child – she has a brother Josh, and they're incredibly close. Shaffer says her family has always supported her in everything she does.
"They always tell my brother and me that we should make every effort and not forget to smile. With such tips, you definitely won't turn onto a curve path," Anna laughs.
Shaffer attended Highgate Wood School, where she focused heavily on art studies. She then went to the Camden School for Girls in north London.

Anna says that she loved to attend drama classes at school: she was the star of all school productions. When Shaffer signed with a modeling agency, she kept taking drama classes at the agency's drama club. "So it all started," Anna recalls.

Acting career

In the late 2000s, young Anna Shaffer landed a role in the sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Anna initially auditioned for the role of Lavender Brown. With hundreds of girls at the casting call, Anna seriously doubted she'd land the part.

Four months later, they called to say Jessie Cave had been cast as Lavender, but they wanted Anna to screen test for the role of Romilda Vane.
"I remember how my agent asked: Are you interested in this? It took me half a second to make a decision! "says the actress.
Shaffer played a fourth-year student who was determined to become Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) girlfriend after the Daily Prophet dubbed him "The Chosen One." Romilda tried to get onto the Quidditch team and even used a love potion to win over the talented wizard. But the potion ended up in the hands of red-haired Ron (Rupert Grint), who fell madly in love with her – thankfully, not for long.

The film appeared on big screens in 2009. Over the next two years, the actress reprised her memorable role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. On set, Anna worked alongside established British actors including Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, Tom Felton, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and many others.

According to Zoomboola.com, in December 2010, the Liverpool Echo reported that 18-year-old Shaffer would be joining the cast of the long-running soap opera Hollyoaks, which has been on air since 1995. The show is set in the fictional suburb of Chester and follows young residents dealing with their endless problems and challenges.

In the series, Shaffer played Ruby, Duncan Button's (Dean Aspen) sister. Her character was a cunning, sharp-tongued troublemaker who loved stirring up drama and taunting others, including her best friend Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks).

To film the series, Shaffer relocated to Liverpool, where she lived for about 4 years. When it became known that Anna would leave the show, she spoke as follows:
"I adore this television series and adore Ruby, but I am already itching to play someone else. We are filming in Liverpool and I miss London, my parents, and my brother. I am ready for changes, but I will be very sad to leave."
Despite her memorable roles in Hollyoaks and Harry Potter, Anna wasn't flooded with offers. Between 2014-2015, the actress landed a small role in the TV series Glue, a couple of documentaries, and several short films. Her roles in the series Class (2016) and Fearless (2017) marked a real breakthrough, earning positive reviews from both critics and viewers. However, the roles were small, and both series only aired in the UK.

In 2018, Shaffer appeared in the 21-minute drama Medusa's Ankles, starring Jason Isaacs, known for his role as Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter. Anna had already met with Jason on the set of two parts of the famous saga. So she was doubly pleased to work with this seasoned actor again.

For a long time, Shaffer couldn't land a role in a feature film until she scored a part in the action movie I Am Vengeance (2018). The film follows a former soldier and mercenary who witnesses a sinister conspiracy and tries to restore justice. In the film, the lead role was played by Stuart "Stu" Bennett, an English professional wrestler who fought during WWE under the pseudonym Wade Barrett.
