======Angelina Johnson====== =====Introduction===== Angelina Johnson was a [[witch]] and a [[Gryffindor]] student at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] from 1989 to 1996. She was a highly skilled [[Quidditch]] player, serving as a [[Chaser]] for the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]] for at least five years and becoming its [[Captain]] in her final year. A brave and loyal member of [[Dumbledore's Army]], she later returned to fight against [[Lord Voldemort]] and his [[Death Eaters]] in the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. Following the [[Second Wizarding War]], she married [[George Weasley]]. =====Biography===== ====Hogwarts Years==== Angelina joined the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]] as a [[Chaser]] by at least her third year, playing alongside fellow Chasers [[Alicia Spinnet]] and [[Katie Bell]]. She was already an established and formidable player by the time [[Harry Potter]] joined the team in 1991. For the next several years, she was an integral part of the team under the captaincy of [[Oliver Wood]], helping [[Gryffindor]] win the [[Quidditch Cup]]. In her sixth year, during the 1994-1995 school year, Angelina put her name into the [[Goblet of Fire]] in an attempt to become the [[Hogwarts]] Champion in the [[Triwizard Tournament]], though she was ultimately not chosen. That same year, she attended the [[Yule Ball]] with [[Fred Weasley]]. In her seventh and final year, Angelina was made [[Captain]] of the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]]. She took her responsibilities very seriously, showing considerable stress while trying to replace [[Oliver Wood]]'s leadership and rebuild the team. Her task was made exceptionally difficult by the interference of [[Dolores Umbridge]], the [[High Inquisitor]], who banned [[Harry Potter]], [[Fred Weasley]], and [[George Weasley]] from playing. Despite these setbacks, Angelina successfully rebuilt the team with new players and led them to victory, winning the [[Quidditch Cup]]. During this year, she also joined [[Dumbledore's Army]], an organization founded by [[Harry Potter]] to teach practical [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]]. She participated in the secret meetings in the [[Room of Requirement]], honing her duelling skills. ====Second Wizarding War==== After graduating from [[Hogwarts]], Angelina remained loyal to the cause against [[Lord Voldemort]]. In May of 1998, she answered the call via the enchanted [[Galleon]]s of the [[D.A.]] and returned to the school to fight in the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. During a pause in the fighting, she was seen in the [[Great Hall]], devastated and weeping over the body of [[Fred Weasley]]. ====Later Life==== Sometime after the [[Second Wizarding War]], Angelina reconnected with [[George Weasley]], and they eventually married. Together, they had two children: a son named [[Fred Weasley II]], in honour of his late uncle, and a daughter named [[Roxanne Weasley]]. (J.K. Rowling interview). =====Physical Appearance and Personality===== Angelina is described as a tall black girl with long, black braided hair. As a leader and athlete, she was determined, outspoken, and fiercely competitive. She could be demanding and short-tempered when under pressure, as seen during her time as [[Quidditch]] [[Captain]], but she was also a fair leader who was passionate about her team's success. Her decision to join [[Dumbledore's Army]] and return for the [[Battle of Hogwarts]] demonstrates her immense bravery and loyalty to her friends and the fight against evil. =====Magical Abilities and Skills===== * **Quidditch Prowess:** Angelina was an exceptionally talented [[Quidditch]] player. As a [[Chaser]], she was a consistent and high-scoring member of the [[Gryffindor]] team for years, known for her skillful flying and teamwork with [[Alicia Spinnet]] and [[Katie Bell]]. * **Leadership Skills:** She proved to be a capable, if stressed, [[Captain]]. She managed to lead a fractured and inexperienced team to win the [[Quidditch Cup]] despite the immense pressure from [[Dolores Umbridge]]. * **Duelling:** As a member of [[Dumbledore's Army]], Angelina learned and practised a variety of offensive and defensive spells.

They eventually married and had two children, [[Fred Weasley II]] and [[Roxanne Weasley]]. * **Fred Weasley:** Fred was Angelina's date to the [[Yule Ball]] and a close friend and teammate. She was deeply affected by his death during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. * **Alicia Spinnet and Katie Bell:** Angelina's fellow Chasers on the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]]. The trio formed a highly effective and long-standing partnership on the pitch and were close friends. * **Harry Potter:** Angelina was Harry's teammate for several years and later his student in [[Dumbledore's Army]]. They shared a relationship of mutual respect. * **Oliver Wood:** Angelina's former [[Quidditch]] [[Captain]], whose legacy she felt immense pressure to live up to when she took over the role. =====Etymology===== * The name **Angelina** is a diminutive of "Angela," derived from the Greek word //angelos//, meaning "messenger" or "angel."
