We hate Cho because Once at the end of the fourth book during Dumbledore's Remember Cedric speech, and thrice throughout the course of book five. She cried over the death of Cedric, who may or may not have been her "boyfriend," but at least seemed a reasonably close friend to her.
One would not scoff at some one who lost a friend or loved one to murder, a war, or a natural disaster, so why do readers scoff at Cho when she does this? If that was JK Rowling's intent to have readers follow Harry's lead in thinking Cho was a human hosepipe for crying over some one's death, than that is extremely irresponsible of her. I wonder if she would dare write something like that now, in the aftermath of the London bombings?
If crying is indeed a valid reason for hating people, then shouldn't we hate Hermione Granger she cried at least 15 times , Ginny Weasley she cried 9 times , Hagrid he cried at least 6 times , Molly Weasley she cried roughtly 6 times , and Neville Longbottom he cried about five times more, since they all cried more than Cho Chang did over the course of the six books?
If having only two boyfriends is a logical reason to call a character any of those derogatory names, then Hermione should also be one, as she dated Victor Krum, and sabotaged Ron's dates with Lavendar because she wanted Ron for herself. Do readers fault Hermione and Ginny for the same offenses they ostracize Cho for? Harry liked Cho, and though she needed closure over the Cedric's death, she was kind to Harry, and in the end seemed to at least reciprocate some of his affections.
If you look at their relationship closely, it seems that Harry's foul disposition was equally, if not more to blame for their relationship's shortcomings. I would have been very surprised if Cho hadn't been jealous!
Cho was devastated and openly cried at the memorial service at the end of the school year. Cedric's death made Cho believe Harry's claim that Voldemort had returned despite the Ministry of Magic and Daily Prophet branding him a liar or insane.
She sought Harry out several times and attempted to engage him in conversation, probably motivated by both a desire to learn the circumstances of Cedric's death and a growing fondness for Harry. Unfortunately for Harry, these encounters did not go well.
The first time Cho found him covered with Stinksap that was accidentally let off by Neville Longbottom 's Mimbulus mimbletonia. The second time, she ended up arguing with Ron Weasley about Quidditch teams. On the third try, when Cho entered the Owlery to send a letter to her mother for her birthday while Harry was there, she defended him from a suspicious Argus Filch.
Cho training with Dumbledore's Army. When invited by Hermione Granger to join Dumbledore's Army, Cho went against the advice of her parents, who wished her to remain on Dolores Umbridge 's good side, as her mother worked at the Ministry. She also brought her best friend and fellow Ravenclaw Marietta Edgecombe along, despite the other girl's reluctance to join due to her mom's position at the Ministry as well.
Cho joined because she was determined to fight against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters after what happened to Cedric in the previous year. However, as a D. At first, she got nervous and performed her spells poorly whenever Harry was nearby. This indicated that her romantic feelings for him had grown since the previous year.
Later, though, she was able to conjure a corporeal Patronus in the shape of a swan. However, she did have some trouble with a Disarming Charm , saying Expellimellius instead of the actual incantation, causing Marietta's sleeve to catch on fire. She also mentioned that she had never been able to stun anything before Harry taught her and commented that he was a good teacher.
Cho initiated a kiss with Harry under some mistletoe shortly before Christmas after a D. However, she soon ended up in tears, confused and guilty because of her conflicting feelings for Harry and Cedric.
This kiss was something that Harry did not enjoy much and described as being "wet", because of all the tears and a repeat kiss did not happen. Despite this, she and Harry went on a date in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade on Valentine's Day where the couple sent their time at Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop. The tea shop made Harry uncomfortable, as it reminded him of Umbridge's too pink office. Cho's continuing grief over Cedric's death, her ill-founded jealousy over Harry's friendship with Hermione Granger who, ironically, tried to advise Harry on how to handle girls , and Harry's overall inexperience with girls soured the experience.
Cho became jealous when Harry mentioned his plans to meet Hermione later in the day, and she tried to gauge Harry's feelings for her by mentioning that Roger Davies had asked her out, but this only bewildered Harry.
She ended up in tears after Harry refused to discuss Cedric's death with her. Later in the year, Cho's friend Marietta betrayed the D. The hex made purple pustules spell "SNEAK" across her face that could not be removed, something Cho considered a "horrible trick". When Harry scorned Marietta for the betrayal and Cho defended her, their relationship went downhill.
At the beginning of her seventh and final at Hogwarts, Cho caught a glimpse of Harry on the Hogwarts Express. She did not speak with him, instead hiding back in her compartment with Marietta Edgecombe. Harry commented that she was the only one not staring at him, he also noticed that her friend Marietta still had the word SNEAK written in pimples on her face. Harry and Cho had almost no interaction for the rest of the year; according to Harry, they simply "fell apart," too embarrassed to even look at one another.
Cho did not participate in the battle that took place inside the castle after Death Eaters successfully infiltrated the Hogwarts, as she did not keep her D. Cho was also present in the courtyard after Albus Dumbledore died.
She and the rest of the students raised their wands as a farewell to their former headmaster. It is possible that Cho attended Dumbledore's funeral with her parents, seeing as she was a Dumbledore supporter and was most likely saddened by his death. Cho demonstrated her loyalty by reuniting with other members of Dumbledore's Army to join the final battle against Voldemort and the Death Eaters when they attacked Hogwarts.
She appeared amicable and friendly with Harry, offering to lead him to the Ravenclaw Common Room in search of Rowena Ravenclaw 's diadem.
However, in an unwarranted act of jealousy, Ginny Weasley recommended Luna Lovegood to accompany Harry in Cho's place. Cho was described to be an extremely pretty girl with long, shiny dark hair, a freckled nose, and being a head shorter than Harry Potter. For her date with Harry, she tied her hair back into a ponytail, to which he described as very pretty.
Because of her beauty, she attracted a considerable amount of male attention during her Hogwarts years, most notably: Cedric Diggory , Roger Davies , Michael Corner , and of course Harry. Generally polite, sweet, and well-mannered, Cho was easy to get along with and was a popular student at Hogwarts, with a large group of friends and many boys who admired her for her extreme beauty including Harry Potter himself.
Having been sorted into Ravenclaw House , Cho was presumably intelligent, enforced by her mastery of all defence magic that Harry taught her, including the Patronus Charm, though she did admit that she was unable to stun anything before Harry taught her. She was also an avid Quidditch fan having supported the Tutshill Tornados since she was six years old and a good athlete, playing Seeker for her House's team. She was also loyal and brave, having been loyal to the Tutshill Tornados for many years as opposed to jumping the bandwagon, joining Dumbledore's Army in defiance with the Ministry both out of support of Harry and in order to avenge the death of her late boyfriend Cedric , sticking up for her friend Marietta when the rest of the group ousted her for her treachery, and returning to Hogwarts in her seventh year in order to fight alongside her comrades and defend the school from Death Eaters.
For the most part, Cho was often found around Hogwarts with a gaggle of girlfriends, though after one of her emotional breakdowns over Cedric's death, they apparently left her during her depression.
Despite this, Cho was a very loyal person perhaps even to a fault ; when she and her friend Marietta Edgecombe joined Dumbledore's Army, she insisted on bringing her friend along even when her friend expressed disinterest and cynicism to the club's effects.
Later, even though Marietta eventually sold out the DA to Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic, Cho stood by her and insisted to the accusatory Harry that Marietta was a "lovely person" who "just made a mistake. Cho was perceived by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley to be excessively emotional, though as Hermione stated, much of this characterisation was attributed to her behaviour and actions directly after her boyfriend's death, pushing her way through the trauma and grief that is only observed from the periphery.
During her grief, she was prone to many crying spells and a difficult control over her emotions, leading to a prying sort of aggression when she dated Harry to get the details of Cedric's death, and also the irrational jealousy and paranoia that ensued when Harry would bring up Hermione Granger for what Cho saw to be flippant insensitivity from Harry's end.
Hermione, for her part, did not seem to blame Cho at all, understanding her grief and depression and stating that it had interfered with many aspects of Cho's life, including Cho's grades and her position on the Quidditch team.
Later in life, she married a Muggle. Cho's corporeal swan Patronus. Cho's relationship with her parents was unknown, but it was revealed that, during the school year , both her mother and father wanted her to stay on Dolores Umbridge 's good side. Though Cho went against their wishes by joining Dumbledore's Army , she did send her mother a parcel for her birthday, showing affectionate care.
Their relationship after the school year was unknown. Roger Davies , her ex-boyfriend. Some time during Cho's life, she dated a fellow Ravenclaw — Roger Davies , who also served as her Captain on their house's Quidditch team — but it didn't last long since he eventually got a new girlfriend while Cho moved on with either Cedric or Harry.
Before he won the First Task and the hearts of everyone around Hogwarts, Harry was ridiculed by every House other than Gryffindor when the school thought he had cheated into entering the tournament. For the first time, the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were against him. One of these was when she attempted to use jealousy against Harry so he would make his move. This happened in Hogsmeade, when Harry and Cho went on a date in a sappily romantic establishment where Harry had no clue what to do.
This did more bad than good and Harry took this as Cho patronizing him. In actuality, Harry wasted a lot of time being a nervous prat to go after the girl he wanted, which allowed pretty boy Cedric to make his move and ask Cho to the Yule Ball first. By the time Harry came round, Cho already had a date, and this led to Cedric becoming her boyfriend. It was Harry who took notice of her for over a year before he had the guts to talk to her.
Had he never been interested, Cho would never have been interested in him either. Harry and Cedric were both nice guys, but they were never friends. This was due to Harry never fully bringing himself to like or trust Cedric; the reason for which was juvenile. Harry had initially admired Cedric, thinking him to be in the mold of a champion, but after the Yule Ball, Cedric became more of a rival in his mind.
However, by the end, Cedric did become something of an ally, and Harry thought of him as a fallen friend once Cedric met his end. Ironically, Cho was under the impression that something was going on between Hermione and Harry when the former was in actuality giving him advice on how to woo Cho.
Like many other people around Hogwarts and outside of it; including Dumbledore, Mrs. By the time they broke up, Harry had a lot of other things on his mind.
Chief among these problems was the fact he had lost his loving godfather, and after this loss, he had no mind for anything else.
