Childhood and youth

Anna Shaffer was born on March 15, 1992, in London. Anna is not the only child in the family: she has got a brother Josh, with whom they are great friends. Shaffer says that her family supports the girl in all her endeavors.
“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 received her secondary education studying at Highgate Wood School with profound study of art. Then the girl attended 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 became a student at a modeling agency, she continued to attend drama classes at the agency drama club. “So it all started,” Anna recalls.

Acting career

In the late 2000s, young Anna Shaffer got a part in the sixth film of the series about the wizard boy Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. First Anna went to audition for the role of Lavender Brown. Hundreds of girls came to the casting call, so Anna deeply doubted that she would get this job.

Four months later, they called her and said that the role of Lavender would be performed by Jessie Cave, and they would like Anna to go through a 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.
So Shaffer played as a fourth-year student who was persistently trying to become Harry Potter’s (Daniel Radcliffe) girlfriend after the Daily Prophet had called him “The Chosen One”. Romilda was trying to get into the Quidditch team and even used a love potion in order to win the favor of the talented wizard. But the potion fell into the hands of the red-haired Ron (Rupert Grint), who fell madly in love with the beauty – thank God, not for long.

The film appeared on big screens in 2009. Over the next two years, the actress repeated her vivid role in the movies Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. On the set, Anna met British actors already well-known to the viewers, namely 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 was going to join the cast of the soap opera Hollyoaks, which has been successfully airing since 1995. The plot of the story takes place in the fictitious suburb of Chester, and the main characters are young residents with their endless problems and trials.

In the series, Shaffer played Ruby, Duncan Button’s (Dean Aspen) sister. Her character is a cunning, bitchy, sharp-tongued girl who prefers to idle and taunt others, including her best friend Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks).

To take part in the filming of the series, Shaffer moved 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.”
In spite of the vivid roles in Hollyoaks and Harry Potter, Anna didn’t have plenty of offers. A small role in the television series Glue, a couple of documentary films, several short films, is what the actress could boast of in the period from 2014-2015. The roles in the series Class (2016) and Fearless (2017) became a definite breakthrough, and the films received positive reviews from critics and viewers. However, the roles were small, and the series was running only in her homeland.
