I think Cho Chang is a hugely important character when you consider the typical reading audience. These books were meant for kids growing alongside Harry. Cho Chang is an important lesson that just because you love someone, or think you do because they are physically attractive, doesn't mean you will always end up with them.

[@mnguyen314]

Fluffymagicman I can echo that. Through my first read she became my favorite for a while. Even after the whole fallout. However her sections in the books has little re-read value. Especially now that I’m older.

[@arandomuser9459]

Yeah that’s why I have respect for her however I will say I wouldn’t complain if they had spent more time with Harry and Ginny and less time with Cho. Though I may be a bit biased because Ginny’s one of my favorites.

[@Noobie2k7]

The thing is while Cho Chang did have a very interesting and emotional character arc, i always felt like it did't really belong in a Harry Potter book. The whole having a crush on one person, you end up loving someone else, then they die and you end up rebound dating the person you originally liked and then feel all guilty about it thing really never felt right in a Harry Potter book and did take up way too much page space.

I can't imagine he isn't extremely strict as the leader of Slytherin. Also, as the houses embody different aspects of people, it could very well be that Slytherin students get rewarded for behaving... like a Slytherin XD

Cho is a complicated character to critique. I think she's a good person at heart, but she is very emotional and some of her behavior can border on manipulative (such as extreme jealousy towards Hermione in particular). However, I don't think she intents malice with her actions. I think the biggest problem with her, and Harry's interactions with her, is that they tried dating each other at the wrong time in their lives, when they were both going through some very hard stuff that they processed differently. During OOTP, Cho's boyfriend is DEAD after all, that's not an easy thing to be dealing with. We see how much the whole experience traumatized Harry, but Cedric probably meant even more to Cho. (Also, she and Cedric started dating AFTER the Yule Ball - which explains why Cho was sad that she missed out on asking Harry. I guess she liked both, but Cho and Cedric weren't dating at the time.) Back to Harry and Cho and their attempt at a relationship - Harry has always been someone who deals with his issues through humor, and having a good time to shake things off. There's a reason Ron is his best friend. The dude is hilarious, in a way that can put Harry at ease very quickly. Harry was having major traumatic stress in OOTP and when he started dating Cho, I think he expected/hoped that she would be able to relieve some of that stress. But that didn't happen. Because Cho was too depressed herself to be funny or supportive in a way that Harry needed (or it could be that she isn't very funny in general, which is absolutely fine but clearly a turn off point for Harry). She was very emotional - much more emotional than Harry could handle at that point in his life, and like you guys pointed out, Cho needed to talk about her emotions while Harry spent most of the book wanting desperately to NOT talk about his emotions. Harry didn't know enough about Cho to know that that was going to happen, as he's always admired her from a distance. But when he tries dating her, it quickly becomes clear that their dynamic doesn't work. But then there is Ginny. She's optimistic, playful, and her quips are often hilarious. Furthermore, Ginny knows how to talk to Harry. Ginny doesn't beat around the bush or tries to be passive-agressive towards Harry, and she puts aside her own issues so she can help Harry. Ginny and Harry have a few interactions in OOTP that are very meaningful. The two biggest being 1) In Grimmauld Place after Arthur gets attacked 2) In the Library during Easter when Harry needs to talk to Sirius. In these moments especially, it is clear that Harry feels a sense of comfort with Ginny, and that he is able to communicate with her in a very healthy fashion. There's a lot more subtle things going on between Harry in Ginny, even before OOTP, and she is far from shoe-horned in. Narratively, I do sort of agree that too much time was spent on Cho, and not enough with Ginny. The 'arc' with Cho was definitely necessary for Harry's character, but maybe it could have been balanced out a bit better. I would have liked to see more interaction between Harry and Ginny; we know that it IS there - like that time they dated in HBP where they frequently hung out, or before that when he spent loads of time with her at the Burrow (again in HBP) - but I'm a sucker for conversations between these two because of how well they play off of each other. I'd have liked to see more in that regard. TL:DR Cho is a good person who went through a lot of things that are hard to process for a teenager, but she wasn't quite right for Harry. They started dating when they were both at a very low point in their life and their expectations going in didn't match. Neither could give what the other needed, but in the end, they definitely liked and respected each other. I think they could have been friends post-war, but that is hard to say.

[@abbyanderson3758]

I agree kind of but at the same time I don’t

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

@Manny Well put, very good. I agree that while she is a complex character, _the fact she is the ONLY major Asian character doesn't put Asians in a positive light._ (And don't even get me started on being placed in the 'Cho Chang' spot… I can't begin to express how many times I've been put in that position…)

[@MrMarinus18]

Harry is not very good at picking up social cues. I think it's because he never had friends growing up and the Dursley's never talked to him much. So Cho's sensitivity and subtle mannerisms completely passed him. Harry also usually expresses his displeasure by bellowing and shouting; most likely picked up from Vernin. So with Cho she would be very intimidated by that. Also that she refused to be angry at her friend after she betrayed the DA was a big thing. She's just too sweet for her own good. Harry is a good person at heart but he is very capable of hatred. All in all I think Cho has one or more sisters. She really grew up with females. Ginny by contrast has 6 brothers and so has been surrounded by males her entire life. She really understands males and her thinking is almost more masculine than feminine.

[@ahsoka_tano_98]

Love these quizzes!! I've got some clarifications for you: - 9 - Ginny and Harry first kiss after they've won the Quidditch Cup. This doesn't happen on the field, because Harry is in detention with Snape for using Sectumsempra on Draco. So Ginny becomes seeker (and captain?) for the final match and when Harry goes back to the common room he finds out they won and there's the euforic atmosphere you were talking about. - 13 - Harry accidentally touched Ginny when sneaking through the portrait hole under the Invisibility Cloak and after taking Felix Felicis. Ginny thinks this is Dean pushing her, and says he always does that, Dean tries to defend himself because he did actually not touch her this time. That's all we know about the argument that led to the breakup, because the portrait hole closes after Harry at that point. - 16 - Hestia Jones is a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She was part of the Advance Guard who took Harry to Grimmauld Place in the beginning of book five and she's one of the people who goes with the Dursleys to protect them in book seven. - 28 - 'Snape Victorious' is about Snape getting the DADA teaching post, so it's at the beginning of the book. They first kiss in 'Sectumsempra' is at the end of the chapter. It's the chapter in which the fight with Draco occurs, followed by Harry being punished and serving detention during the last Quidditch match of the year. The chapter then ends with Harry going into the common room and kissing Ginny.

[@Esvald]

I think Ginny didn't become Captain as Harry wasn't kicked from the team. Snape just made sure to have his detention on the same time as the match happens so Gryffindor would be at disadvantage.

[@ahsoka_tano_98]

@@Esvald You're right, I looked it up, no one is Gryffindor captain in that match.

I think you're being a bit unfair to Cho. Remember she's 15/16 years old in goblet, and it's possible to have a crush on multiple people at the same time. Plus it's not as if Harry were very clear about how he felt about her, they barely even had a conversation before the yule ball! So don't blame Cho for accepting a date proposal when she didn't even know if she could expect another one.

[@henriettajsoneskelin7806]

Got 17 points. Some were tricky because I haven't read them more than once in English, only a million times in Swedish. And have never thought of Cho that way, but I'd spontaneously object (or play devil's advocate) by saying that it would be lame if Harry just got his future wife straight away without experiencing a common heartbreak first. It's actually a bit too Disney that he even ends up with Ginny, considering how everything else is just such a happy ending for him. Also, it gives Cedric's death more of an impact, introduces a Ravenclaw that we can later relate to in D.A and actually adds to Ginny's story arch by showing the reader that even in the darkest times (when Harry dates Cho) and a future with your biggest love (Harry) seems impossible, it can still happen. Don't lose hope, love will always win, etc. (except for Snape).

[@MxTHRTN]

No I have to interject, I think Cho Chang as a character is important to the story. Her side-plot is about how falling in love feels (yes, we do get that with Ginny too) but it is about telling teenagers that they are not alone in feeling extremely awkward in this situation. It tells us that not every person we feel drawn to has to be our one true love (and that in a universe that is all about the one true love! Think about Snape, James, Tonks!) It tells us that everybody has stories about relationships that went wrong. Even Harry - the chosen one. And there is another thing: We tend to idolise people when we fall in love but not yet know them. Harry does that with Cho! But he learns about her and sees that she is just a normal woman with imperfections and troubles. This is a valuable message. Still, the whole Cho thing is extremely awkward to watch xD

To me the scenes with Ginny and Harry are incredibly awkward. They added a few things that either didnt make sense or they completely undermined the emotional weight of the scenes. And they didnt put in all the lessons that Harry had with Dumbledore that really gave an interesting backstory to Voldemort and explained how he thought and stuff. I feel like you get a much richer understanding of the characters because of these backstories. And like that whole thing with McClaggen and Hermione was just weird and awkward. They just put way too much focus on the romance aspect and forgot to focus on the story and how things were getting more scary because of the things that the death eaters were doing. There were dinners where Bill would come home and tell them about a disappearance and it showed the tension in the community. Those kinds of things were really missing in the movie.

While I don´t like Cho, I see her importance as this: Harry´s romance with her was awkward and painful (for us to watch). But now imagine he goes through this with Ginny...

Roflmao Unfortunately so true. In my literature class in University they still taught this concept called author's death. Which means as soon as the book is printed and in the readers hands you have to read it based on its own content not any additional information provided by The author later. And that's how I prefer to keep the Harry Potter series because it leaves open a lot more interesting options for fanfiction and thoughts the author had 10 to 20 years after the fact really don't matter to what's in the actual book. Which is why for me the cursed child doesn't exist I only begrudgingly accept the epilogue because it's in the book on original printing.

I’m reading through Order of the Phoenix for the first time right now (I only have 100 pages left!!) and I was having the SAME thoughts about Cho!! Knowing from the movies that Harry winds up with Ginny, I’m just like, “What is the cho relationship accomplishing?” Just feels like a red herring. I’d watch that video! (Love your videos you guys are awesome!)

[@AnnekeOosterink]

I feel like it was never really because she fancied Harry though. I always thought she was trying to let him down gently. He asked her super close to the ball, so chances were slim anyway. And she can just say, 'aw, sorry, woulda if I coulda, but I'm going with Cedric.' And after Cedric dies Harry is the one who was there. So he's more a therapist/memory for her than a boyfriend.

[@keithg460]

It's incredibly unrealistic to be with the first person you date, and so if Harry only ever dated Ginny, you'd expect them to break up. But if he dates Cho, then after that fails to work out, it will be more believable for Harry to be with Ginny. Especially as he's basically only ever with two girls in his whole life. Not to mention that he did crush on her in book 4, so it would feel like something was missing if that dating possibility never went anywhere. He also finds out that he doesn't like girls who cry so much, who are too serious, and can't handle their emotions or handle difficult situations. Ginny is very different from that. It also helps Harry to make a mature decision with her at the end of the 6th book when he chooses to leave her behind to find the horcruxes. He wouldn't have done that (or was less likely to) if he didn't see how a loss could dramatically hurt a loved one (like how Cho was traumatized by Cedric's death).

If YOU went through the same awful stuff as she did I would like to see you not cry all the time. Cho did everything that should be expected of her after going through what she did.

I am physically unable to upvote this as much as I want to but I want you to know that it should say at least two million next to the thumbs up. I love Cho Chang.

She is very well allowed to cry and be defensive because her boyfriend died and her best friend "betrayed" the group and lost most of her friends shortly after due to defending that friend. I mean. Dang. I'd probably cry a lot too.

[@ArcaneChipmunk]

It is probably not a very popular opinion, but I really don't like the Harry/Ginny pairing. It felt super forced. Like a means to an end, and that end being a way for Harry to marry into the Weasley family and finally be part of a loving family. If for example he had ended up with Hermione, I feel like they would've drifted more apart from the Weasley family. Ron probably would've felt left out in the friend group in some way because of his insecurities, which would've caused bit of a rift. Harry ending with Ginny felt too... perfect to keep things together? I'm not especially into the pairing of Harry/Hermione, and I understand that putting Harry with someone completely new would have been disappointing to the fans, but how often do you spend the rest of your life with the person you know from high school? I just have very mixed feelings about some of the romance.

[@TheHammersongs]

It's like they said, Rowling should have probably cut some of the Cho-scenes in favor of building the Harry-Ginny romance in a more realistic way. Personally, I have nothing against the pairing, but I don't support it either - As you said, it felt forced in a way. Same for Ron and Hermione. I am not a shipper in the HP fandom, but I actually like the idea of having a Hermione and Malfoy build-up. It would have required a lot of time in the novels but it would have worked against the cheesiness that occured in the actual ending, and it could have been a "positive version" of the Snape and Lily relationship, because here, the girl actually manages to lead the boy towards the light. Also, Rowling has confirmed that Malfoy had suppressed feelings for Hermione during their entire time at Hogwarts. But that's just rambling from my side ^^

[@ArcaneChipmunk]

TheWalkingDeadpan Oh, haha. I didn't want to mention it in my original comment, but I really liked the Hermione/Draco pairing as well 😂 I felt it had a lot of potential but alas... not really a shipper in the HP fandom either. Hermione and Krum I wouldn't have minded since it did actually have a buildup that felt... natural. I feel like they only didn't come together because of the distance and Ron getting in between. Overall the romances that bloom in the HP universe are a bit tricky and not terribly strong in my opinion. Writing a good romance is hard in general so I can't completely fault JK Rowling for that.

I get people get passionate about things, but it is always important, especially in these kind of things, to respect people's opinion and be mindful on their likes and dislikes. =P Discussions about such things can at times lead to very interesting revelations.

[@London4live]

@@TheHammersongs Although I like Harry and Ginny together, I absolutely agree, that their relationship should have had more time to develop. It seems really random to me that in the 6th book, all of a sudden and seemingly out of nowhere, Harry starts resenting Dean for dating her and thats how we find out he likes her. And then she and Dean keep fighting, which to me felt kind of made up and exaggerated (because I think Dean is really not that terrible of a person acutally), just so that we would be tricked into wanting her to date Harry instead. Harry and Ginny don't really have a connection at that point of the story and it seems more like just a crush, at least on Harry's part. Ginny is actually my favourite character and J.K. could've made this way more intense, as Ginny really is the whole package in my eyes - funny, whitty, brave, loyal and pretty. The potential was there, but oh well

[@fletchly]

Eh, she loves books and she’s a young witch. He’s in a powerful confident position where he seems to have done amazing things. I suppose if you look at him without knowing he is a fraud, other than his love for himself, he’s a huge role model and an excellent wizard. The fact that he is a celebrity and is highly desired probably helps too. I suppose you could argue that the majority of staff that come into contact with him know that he is a fraud and it’s hard to say that Hermione falling for his identity fraud seems out of character considering how smart she really is. Though I would argue that a young school girl crush perhaps blinded her from the truth.

[@greatsaiyaguy271]

I tied with J. The only one I got that they both missed was why did Ginny break up with Dean. The helping her through the portrait hole thing. I’ve watched these quizzes before and gone 2-3 whole quizzes without missing a question. I read the books dozens and dozens of times each for 17-18 years. Watched the movies several times each as well (although I like the books 100x more). What really allowed me to memorize all these facts was Jim Dales audiobooks on tape. I listened to them every night before I went to bed for years when I was in grade school. Probably 2+ hours each night on average, atleast an hour a night minimum. Sometimes I would fall asleep with the tape still playing on my bedside table. I’m convinced I soaked in the story even after I fell asleep...I know there are a few studies out there that show the human brain can retain information when asleep. This def happened to me, I know more about the books than anyone I know, including Ben and J, although they both do know their stuff I give them credit.
