In a new interview with the Sunday Mirror Tiana Benjamin, who played Angelina Johnson in Goblet of Fire, talks about her decision not to return for Order of the Phoenix.

Quote:

And when EastEnders came knocking, Tiana didn't have to be asked twice - even though she had to turn down a part in a Harry Potter movie. After a "blink-and-you'd miss it" role in the Goblet of Fire, she was signed up for the next one. "But the dates kept changing.

And EastEnders had to say in the end, 'It's us or them.' I didn't have to think too hard.

"I was very, very lucky to even cough in that film. But I'd grown up with EastEnders. I made the right choice," she says.

It's the second biggest soap opera in the U.K., the BBC's longest running series.

It's better, from an acting point-of-view, to be on television potentially 4 times a week, at primetime, than have maybe 1 line in a film.
