Many new Web sites have sprung up dedicated to Katie Leung since it was announced that she had been cast as Cho Chang in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but Warner Bros. is now insisting
that the Katie Leung blogs that have recently appeared on the internet were not written by her.
Fake blog entries supposedly written by Katie have surfaced which means that fans can be easily duped into believing that they are communicating with the star. A few months ago a fan thought they were communicating with Daniel & agreed to meet him in England after traveling from Chile, of course this was an imposter, as Daniel never communicates with his fans this way. So please be careful, if you think you talking to someone from the movies - you're not & please don't give out personal information to anyone you don't know.

That's so disappointing. If people do stuff like that, why would stars even want to communicate w/fans? It's so stupid.

It's so sad that some people will do that. I just can't think what might happen to some fans when they are tricked. It just makes you want to go to church.

The Chile thing was just really weird. I mean even the MOTHER was convinced that it was Dan because I mean how else was the girl supposed to get to England?
I'm thinking of some things that could explain everything but I better not say.
Anyway, the only reason why anyone would be interested in that Katie girl is because she gets to hang out with the guys. Otherwise, no one would look twice at her.

I never read the blogs started. I wasn't even aware that they existed! I am glad the truth is out - lots of people have been writing about them in the forums.

Honestly, I never knew of any cho chang sites out there. It really sucks for those who thought they were talking to Katie Leung.

I'm not that stupid to meet anyone in personal that I talked to on the internet because my parents don't know them.(b)Golden rule in my family is not to go meeting anyone that they didn't meet or talked to.

How can you actually believe something like this?? People who have nothing better to do than mess with your heads would do this, and the stars are always busy.

Its awful that people actually do stuff like this and some people believe them. I guess we all should be careful when we talk to people on the internet.

Thats almost as ballsy as the guy who pulled the book six title prank.
Just goes to show you don't believe anything until, Ms Rowling, her publishers or Warner Brothers endorse it.

Oh well, this was to be expected... I mean, do you really think that someone in a movie would just talk to people like this... kinda common sense, I think.

That's horrible, who writes things pretending to be somebody else? That's ...just wrong. I feel bad for her. But I do wish her luck with her role as Cho Chang. Looking forward to it.

I can't believe how extremely gulible people can be. I mean come on that is really pathetic. Well anyways all those HP celeberties wouldn't have any time to chat online with one random fan, also I highly doubt that they would tell them to meet them in England. Haha, I wish it would actually happen to me because I would love to meet Dan:), but yeah I heard about those blogs to awhile ago, but any ways! Oh well, people just ignore them even if you get overly excited, you should know its not the real thing!!! GEEZ!

These fake blog sites must belong to people who have psychological problems. They just can't be themselves. They have to pretend to be someone else to get a brief rush of ego fulfillment. Too bad they can hurt some other people's trust.

These is obviously the work of people either with too much time on their hands, or need alot of attention. I don't know why some people would want to munipulate others into believing something.
