According to CBBC Newsround
, the father of Katie Leung, says that she is still coming to terms with the news that she has been chosen to play Cho Chang in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Peter Leung reportedly told the Daily Record:
"It's obviously a great part to get and it's a happy time for all the family. Katie is coming back up next week and she's supposed to be getting a press officer and things like that."
Additional, Warner Bros. have decided not to announce the names of the people playing Cho Chang, Cedric Diggory and Fleur Delacour, because the young actors are currently taking important exams. They have also denied a rumor that French actress Audrey Tautou
would be playing Madame Maxime.

I've seen a picture of her and I think she really will fit the part well. Ahhhh but the poor girl is going to have a hard time of it from Dan fans come the fifth film :D!

I glad the dad is so proud of his daughter. At least we know they have chosen a Cho Chang, Cedric Diggory and Fleur Delacour for GoF. I just wish they would relaese some pics of these future HP stars. I wonder who they will pick for Viktor Krum? Who knows, but i'm glad they have the rest so far.

Good for her, her family must be proud. I would give anything just to be in the Harry potter movies. Lucky her....
But this could be a rumor, Warner Bros. hasn't exactly confirmed it. So we still don't know if this girl will play her.

I don't envy her. She will be subject to jealousy of all the obsessive Dan-lovers out there. Not to mention that her character isn't all that likeable. Nooo, rather her than me.

I am happy that they have finally selected an actor for the role. I wish Katie Leung good luck, and I hope she doesn't get any hate mail. Some girls are going to be so jealous!

Hmm...we will see about her. Though I never really liked her in the books. She always seemed to be so mean to Harry! I just hope that Katie is a good actress. Does anybody know if she was in anything else? Hmm, I*ll have to check...

I really want to see better pictures of her. Eventually WB will have to confirm SOMEBODY to play these parts, publish some pictures, and then we'll know for sure. Gosh, PoA isn't even released yet and we are already worrying about somebody kissing Dan in OoTP, who knows if Dan will even be in the 5th film? Or if she will be good enough and be in it still. Although I hope Dan will be. There's alot riding on the next films. Anyway, good luck to all the new actors.
