Anna Shaffer, known for her roles in Hollyoaks and Harry Potter, has landed a role in new Doctor Who spinoff show Class.

According to the actress’s United Agents page, she will play a character called Rachel, although further details have yet to be revealed.
You might know Anna from her role as Ruby Button on Hollyoaks between 2011 and 2014.

She also played Romilda Vane in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, as well as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows parts 1 and 2.

Anna will join Greg Austin and Happy Valley star Katherine Kelly on Class – but will Peter Capaldi be joining them?

From Patrick Ness, Class will debut on BBC Three later this year, before a terrestrial airing on BBC One.

It also stars Mr Selfridge actor Greg Austin, newcomers Sophie Hopkins and Vivian Oparah, and The Aliens’ Fady Elsayed.
Steven Moffat has described the show as “dark and sexy” and compared it to a British Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with school kids battling supernatural forces.
