Katie Leung – Cho Chang

Katie Leung, a Scottish actress, gained prominence as Cho Chang in the Harry Potter series. Cast at 16, she dyed her hair black to match the character’s description. In reality, Katie’s hair is naturally dark brown. Although she enjoyed her role, Katie faced challenges being typecast as an Asian actress.

Post Harry Potter, she embraced diverse roles in varied genres like the miniseries “One Child” and the film “The Whistleblower.” Katie is featured in the animated series “Arcane” and the sci-fi show “The Peripheral.” Fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, she’s also a trained dancer. Katie’s career continues to flourish with her commitment to dynamic roles and diverse talents.
