No "Cho Chang" in HP3

No love interest for Harry in the next movie. What do you think?

Is that true. There were auditions for her character, maybe they just didn't find the right one. I though she was already written into the script cause if she plays an integeral part in the books the come, then the movie dudes are screwed.

'Tis true according to CBBC insiders: http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/tv_film/newsid_2932000/2932848.stm

Oh well she does come into the 4th one and as I remember that is the main one so far anyhoo.

Well, she'd not really THAT essential a character... I'm sure Harry will be able to save us from The Dementors without her!

I looked at that cbbc link - they said no wood! How can there be no wood! He's an established character, and the captain of the team! How will gryffindor play w/out him - and the quidditch matches hav quite a big thang, cos thats where some of the truth comes out abt harry and the dementors (book readers will know what i'm on about!)

Yeh but in 4, she is in the events to follow thats my point ... anyway...
yeh I knew about wood, but to be honest he ISN'T integeral, and in the books he goes out in a small poof. I think the author forgot about him.

In the books, book 3 is his last year of Hogwarts - he leaves school after that and joins a Quidditch team of the league. Puddletown untited or something? He doesnt go out with a poof!

(That sounds really weird doesnt it - like he's going to the movies woth his boyf!)

Before anyone yells at me, i dont mean poof in a bad way - i hav loadsa gay/les/bi friends, and i love em! Dont yell at me!

They have to cut SOME things from the books to make them work on screen. I think that is a worthwhile sacrifice for the film.

I have no problem with Gay people, and I have always secretely suspected that oliver wood was gay, you could tell by the way he and harry looked at each other ... man I have to stop ruining childrens fictional characters. lets get one thing straight though - I am.

I think its a shame that kids books never have gay/les/bi characters - it's like saying that anything except hetero is bad and sordid, not suitable for under 12s

Most intriguing point you make. I do not follow either the book series or the film series so I have little idea of what everyone is talking about. To each his(or her) own though! 😎

i don't think cho is a necessary character to have in the movies. she is just something for the boys/harry to drowl over. ugh. she seems like a tight-*** to me. sorry. stereo-typed thing.

Excuse me? Stereotype? Please, explain.

True, Cho is a pretty minor character, not likely to have any character development. Especially since Harry would probably keep his distance from her in later books because of the whole Cedric Diggory incident..

But it would be interesting to have her in the movies. It's a multi-cultural do-gooder thing.

Yeh, I agree with you there, but the character is just ANNOYING!

Annoying? How so? She doesn't DO anything.. She just kind of.. sits there and plays Seeker and rejects Harry for Cedric. That's about it. "Sexual tension" or whatever you want to call it..

To tell you the truth i hope that Cho is not in the movies, i mean, i absolutely hate her, no offence to the ones that like her. HARRY CAN FIND SOMEONE BETTER THEN HER, LIKE HERMIONE

Man, this whole "no Cho" thing is seriously screwy. Peole buy merchandise (I don't), they pay money to see or buy the movies. They go out to buy the books. They, we, deserve to see Cho. This was supposed to be one of the highlights of the movies and yet, it's not going to happen for a whole other year. These people are scamming millions every year from hard working adults and kids, but they can't deliver ONE measly character, who undeniably everyone is dying to see? Pssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Not true, according to some of the posts in this thread. Apparently, there are many, many people who dislike Cho Chang and it is very deniable that people are 'dying' to see her. Personally, I don't care. It's just admirable to FINALLY see a character of Asian descent in a movie with majority (note that word: majority. Meaning, not all of them) Caucasian characters.
