Theo Walcott's girl Melanie Slade lands a role in Harry Potter
Melanie Slade - the girlfriend of England and Arsenal star Theo Walcott - has landed a part in the next Harry Potter film.
The 20-year-old blonde will play a friend of Hermione Grainger (Emma Watson) in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One.
She appears on screen as the pair watch a game of the airborne broomstick game Quidditch and Mel even has some lines.
Her cameo came about thanks to Theo's aunt Yvonne, whose partner, David Yates, is the director of the movie.
Melanie is thrilled. She said: 'I had a couple of lines to say. I'd love to do more acting.'
Although shooting has ended, fans will have to wait until next year to catch a glimpse of Mel.
Meanwhile, the next film in the series - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - is out in cinemas this July.
Melanie, who is studying for a degree in physiotherapy in London, insists she is more than just a WAG and aims to prove this by pursuing her own career.
Earlier this year, she branded girls who chase footballers as 'wannabes' with 'no respect for themselves'.
'I hate the stereotype - the shopping all day long, the short dresses and massive sunglasses.
She added: 'I would never want to be associated with those women.'
