What was Cho Chang’s role in the Harry Potter series?
Cho Chang is a fictional character from the Harry Potter series. She was one of the key characters in the story and played a significant role in Harry’s life during his school years at Hogwarts. Cho was a student at the school and the first girl that Harry Potter had a crush on.
The character of Cho Chang was originally introduced in the fourth book of the series, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”. Cho was a student of Ravenclaw House and was known for her good looks and her skill at Quidditch. She played as a seeker for the Ravenclaw team and was considered one of the best players in the school.
In the fifth book of the series, “Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix”, Cho played a more significant role in the story. She became Harry’s girlfriend for a brief period of time but their relationship was affected by the death of Cedric Diggory (another Hogwarts student) during the Triwizard Tournament. Both Harry and Cho were deeply affected by Cedric’s death and it led to their breakup.
So, what is Cho Chang doing now? Well, in reality, Cho Chang is just a character from a book, but the actress who played her on-screen, Katie Leung, has been doing some interesting things since her role in Harry Potter.
After the series ended, Leung continued her acting career and has appeared in various movies and TV shows. She starred in the British TV show “One Child” and also appeared in the movie “The Foreigner” alongside Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan.
Leung has also worked on stage, starring in the play “Wild Swans” at the Young Vic Theatre in London. She has also been a vocal advocate for diversity in both film and theater, using her platform to speak out against racism and to call for more representation of people of color in the entertainment industry.
In addition to her work in the entertainment industry, Leung is also involved in charity work. She is a supporter of the anti-racism charity, Show Racism the Red Card, and has been vocal about her support for the charity’s work.
Overall, Katie Leung, the actress who played Cho Chang, has been busy pursuing her acting career and using her platform to advocate for important causes. Though Cho Chang may remain a beloved character from the Harry Potter series, it’s great to see that the actress who played her on-screen is using her fame and influence for good.
