== Overview ==
 
{{../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Beginner Spoiler}}
 
[[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cho Chang|Cho Chang]] is a pretty Ravenclaw student who is a year ahead of [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry Potter]]. She becomes his first serious crush, and although she also appears attracted to him, she has already begun dating [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory|Cedric Diggory]], a student in Hufflepuff, by the time Harry asks her out. That relationship tragically ends with Cedric's death at the end of [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']].
 
In [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|the next book, ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']] she begins a tentative relationship with Harry, although she is still grieving Cedric's death and is emotionally fragile. Their relationship endures several upsets, but finally ends after a dispute about Cho's friend, [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Marietta Edgecombe|Marietta Edgecomb]], who betrayed [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]]. At the end of the book, [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] reveals that Cho is now dating [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Michael Corner|Michael Corner]], Ginny Weasley's former boyfriend.

[[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] becomes interested in Cho, who is a year older, when he sees her playing as Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

Cho seems to reciprocate Harry's interest and patiently waits for him to make the first move, as girls usually do. Harry finally works up the nerve to ask her to the [[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Yule Ball/]], but she has already accepted an invitation from [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory|Cedric Diggory]], although she seems to genuinely regret having to refuse Harry's invitation. Cho and Cedric are a couple for the remainder of the book, although occasionally, Cho may wistfully wonder what might have been with Harry. Cho and Cedric's relationship ends when he is murdered during the [[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Third Task/]] of the [[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Triwizard Tournament/]] by [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Wormtail]] at [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]'s command. She shows a great amount of bereavement at Cedric's death as she silently cries during [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore's]] speech at the end of the year feast.

Cho tries to connect with Harry several times, possibly to ask about Cedric's final minutes. The first time, on the Hogwarts Express, she is thwarted by [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]]'s ''Mimbulus Mimbletonia'', which has just coated Harry's compartment with stinksap. The second time, she is driven away by [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], who accuses her of supporting a particular Quidditch team only because it is trendy. Finally, the two meet in the Owlery, when Harry is sending a message to [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius]]. Harry is heartened when she supports him over an unjust accusation by [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Argus Filch|Filch]].
 
When [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] convinces Harry to secretly teach real Defence Against the Dark Arts to students, as opposed to the nonsense [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dolores Umbridge|Professor Umbridge]] is offering, Harry is stunned by how many want to study with him, including Cho. After the group's initial meeting in the [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hog's Head Inn|Hog's Head]], Cho seems to want to stay and have a word with Harry, but her friend is impatient to leave.
 
During Harry's classes in the Room of Requirement, Cho gets rather flustered whenever Harry is around, messing up a simple [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expelliarmus|Disarming jinx]] three times in a row. In the last lesson before Christmas break, Harry finds that [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dobby|Dobby]] has decorated the room with streamers, bobbles, and mistletoe. He manages to get the more embarrassing decorations removed, but there are still streamers and some mistletoe up when class starts. After class, Cho remains behind to have a few words about Cedric; she manages to maneuver herself and Harry under the mistletoe, and they kiss. Harry, afterwards, in conversation with Ron and Hermione, says that it was very wet, because she had been crying; Hermione says Cho does that often, and inquires about how Harry behaved. Harry's attempts to comfort Cho receives lukewarm approval from Hermione.
 
When there is a Hogsmeade weekend on 14 February, Cho drops a few hints. Harry finally clues in and invites her to go. She accepts, and suggests Madam Puddifoot's tea shop as a good place to spend some time. Harry takes Cho to Madam Puddifoot's, but then is extremely disconcerted to find that it is full of snogging couples, deeply entangled in each other, and particularly dismayed to find that the only open table is adjacent to one occupied by [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Roger Davies|Roger Davies]], a handsome Ravenclaw student cut from the same mold as Cedric. Harry's dismay and confusion is increased by Cho's revelation that Roger had earlier asked Cho out; we believe that Cho had mentioned this either to make Harry jealous, or to try to let Harry know that she felt he was better than Roger somehow, but it has the wrong effect, making Harry feel even more inadequate in the face of the competition he is getting for Cho's favours. In the face of this discomfort, and Cho's insistence that Harry tell her more about how Cedric died, Harry is less than tactful when he has to excuse himself for a promised meeting with Hermione. Cho, incensed, storms off.
 
Cho, hurt, then does not pay any attention to Harry at dinner, or over the next few days. Hermione tells Harry that he was a bit tactless, making it sound as if he was going from Cho to another girl. Harry wonders at this, and Hermione explains that he should have made it sound as though he was reluctant to go see Hermione, but he had promised, and he would really like Cho to come too... Harry doesn't understand why he has to insult Hermione to compliment Cho.
 
However, when the interview with Harry appears in [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/The Quibbler|''The Quibbler'']], an apparently repentant Cho comes up to Harry in the hall as he leaves Transfiguration, tells him that the interview was a really brave thing for him to do, and kisses him on the cheek before hurrying away again.
 
Their reconciliation does not last long, however. The next meeting of Dumbledore's Army is rudely interrupted by Dobby, with news that Umbridge has been told about the DA and is sending the Inquisitorial Squad to capture its members. It turns out that Dumbledore's Army was betrayed by [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Marietta Edgecombe|Marietta Edgecombe]], Cho's friend. After Dumbledore's departure, the next time Harry and Cho meet, Cho attempts to defend Marietta's actions, and says that Hermione's placing a jinx on that piece of parchment they had signed was really sneaky; Harry responds that it was not sneaky, it was brilliant. Cho and Harry stalk off in their separate directions, and do not speak again in this book.
 
On the Hogwarts Express headed back to London, [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] tells Harry that Cho was now going out with [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Michael Corner|Michael Corner]]. Ron is amazed at this, as he had thought Ginny was going out with Michael. Ginny says that he was upset that Gryffindor had won the final Quidditch match over Ravenclaw, and got all sulky, so Ginny had ditched him and he had run off to comfort Cho.

Cho's character does not play a significant part in this book. We see her in passing a few times, usually fleeing from Harry's presence as quickly as possible, but Harry is no longer especially interested in her; he has [[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Harry Potter|become interested in someone else]].
 
=== [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]] ===
 
Cho returns to Hogwarts for the final battle against Voldemort after receiving a message from Neville Longbottom via the fake galleons Hermione charmed for D.A. communications. She offers to take Harry to Ravenclaw Tower to show him a replica of Ravenclaw's lost diadem (a possible Horcrux) but is thwarted by [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny Weasley]], who volunteers [[../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Luna Lovegood|Luna Lovegood]] in Cho's stead. Cho seems mildly disappointed by this.
 
== Notable Consequences ==
Dòng 54:
Harry's relationship with Cho is his first exploration of this sort of relationship, and features his first kiss, which no doubt will remain special to him despite being flavoured heavily with Cho's tears for Cedric. Luckily for him, it seems to have no lasting negative effect; Harry does not mourn his loss when she moves on.
 
Cho and Harry's relationship seems to show only that Harry is not yet really ready for a relationship, especially not one as demanding as this. However, it is preparation for his later relationships. For details on that, see [[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Harry Potter|Harry's Relationship article]].
 
== Analysis ==
 
Cho's relationship with Cedric is quite normal, as far as we can tell; the two of them are going out together, enjoying each other's company, though Cho seems to be somewhat wistful on occasion that she had not chosen Harry. We should recall here that Harry, though not yet being portrayed as The Chosen One, has not yet fallen on the bad side of the Ministry; he is The Boy Who Lived, and additionally he has somehow been chosen as the second Hogwarts Champion in the [[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Triwizard Tournament/]], making him something of a catch. It is a little curious that Cho feels about him romantically, given that he is a year younger than her; girls do mature more quickly than boys at that stage, so we would expect Cho to be interested in boys older than herself.
 
Her eventual relationship with Harry, though, is not a healthy one. She is not prepared to move on from Cedric's death, and throughout the year, she continues to mourn him. As late as Christmas, Hermione tells us Cho is always weeping. It seems that what she wants from Harry is more of Cedric. She keeps asking Harry about Cedric, about how he died; she seems to see Harry as a source of more information about Cedric, almost as a surrogate Cedric. Harry does not want to deal with this; he feels that he at least partially caused Cedric's death, and going over the circumstances surrounding that only make him feel that guilt more sharply. What Cho needs at this point is someone who will be able to help her move on past Cedric; and Harry is not able to do that for her. The breakup in early March comes as more of a relief to him than anything else.
