2023年6月1日 · Cho Chang's portrayal in the books has often faced criticism for being stereotypical and lazily written, but upon further analysis, I realised that most arguments against her are either based on half-knowledge or are simply bad faith arguments. So, I decided to write a post clarifying some of the common misunderstandings regarding Cho Chang.

2022年1月8日 · If my surname is Chang and I have a daughter I would be totally fine naming her Cho Chang in Chinese. Cho Chang in Chinese translation is 張(Chang)秋(Cho). 張(Chang) one of the most common surname. 秋(Cho) means autumn, which is a poetic and appropriate name for a woman. I honestly can't believe people are actually arguing over this.

2021年8月8日 · I happen to be frustrated by another post criticising Cho Chang's name that I just came across and I have to get this out. Let me start by saying that Cho Chang is a perfectly beautiful, normal name in Chinese. Chang is the romanisation of the Chinese surname 張 in both Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking countries except in Mainland China.

And here's how she is described in Goblet of Fire: and a lit­tle farther on they saw Cho Chang, a very pretty girl who played Seeker on the Ravenclaw team.

Associating a real Chinese name like Chang with an old racist meme is, I'm not going to say racist because there's no racist intent, but ignorant in my opinion.

Many comments are explicitly trying to “decipher” Cho Chang in Mandarin rather than considering the diverse background of Chinese-speaking diaspora. She can be a descendant of Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew, Canton, Wenzhou, Fuzhou… oh, and of course, Korean. There are countless combinations in these languages where Cho Chang is a valid name.

2021年9月2日 · First, Chang is an Asian (Chinese) surname, which means she's likely Chinese. Names and meanings are very important in Harry Potter. And, the actress is Asian. So yes, Cho Chang is definitively Asian. Second, yes, the movies are canon.

2021年1月24日 · To make Cho Chang work in Mandarin you have to modified it. Chang is popular, but the name itself is actually pretty old. In modern times it's written/sounds like Zhang. A variation of Cho actually is found for given names. Cho is replaced with Qiu because of the characters take the meaning of "autumn".

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Cho Chang hate is another book character vs. movie character kind of thing. After all, Cho was the one who betrayed the DA in the OotP movie when Umbridge gave her Veritaserum. However, it was Cho's friend Marietta Edgecombe who betrayed the DA in the book. People who have only seen the movies probably ...

2020年11月12日 · I have a headcanon about Cho Chang in the Cursed Child play/book. I firmly believe that Cho ended up with Harry in the alternate timeline. Let us consider that Cedric went to the Yule ball with Cho Chang, despite his defeat in the first task in the alternate timeline.
