Cho Chang is a minor character in the Harry Potter books. She is a Ravenclaw in the year above Harry, and plays Seeker on their Quidditch team. Although this might make her worthy of note in her own right, she has come to our attention in the role of Harry's crush. She is physically attractive, with much made of her long, silky black hair pulled back into a waist-length plait. Her character is less well described beyond the fact that she is clearly popular, confident, and seemingly uninterested in Harry. There is a theory, mainly confined to the writers of bad fanfics, that she could be a lesbian. Yes, that sort of fanfic.


This is a song I found quite by mistake one day. I didn't write this, but it is funny. The tune isn't mine, the words aren't mine, and the softlinks definitely aren't mine. But I think it deserves a place here.

To the tune of "Lucky" by Britney Spears

This is a story about a girl named Cho Chang

Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock, on her dorm
Time to bury herself in work
To avoid what's tormenting her

They say,
Isn't she lucky?
This Ravenclaw girl?

And they say,
She's so lucky, she's Seeker
But she cry cry cries in her lonely heart, thinking
"If after Cedric, I've moved on with my life,
Then why do these tears come at night?"

She's spotted Harry in the halls
But she just can't look him in the eye
And her world goes spinning when she thinks about him
And she just can't find the reason why

They say,
Isn't she lucky?
This Ravenclaw girl?

And they say,
She's so lucky, she's Seeker
But she cry cry cries in her lonely heart, thinking
"If after Cedric, I've moved on with my life,
Then why do these tears come at night?"

Lee Jordan:They're diving, come on...she's got it! Cho Chang's caught the snitch!
(cheering)
Lee:Ravenclaw beats Slytherin, 180-20!
Harry:Congratulations Cho! Cho, are you allright?

Isn't she lucky?
This Ravenclaw girl?

She is so lucky
But why does she cry?
"If after Cedric,
I've moved on with my life,
Why do tears come at night?"

And they say,
She's so lucky, she's Seeker
But she cry cry cries in her lonely heart, thinking
"If after Cedric, I've moved on with my life,
Then why do these tears come at night?"
