Cho Chang is the first girl that Harry Potter has a crush on at Hogwarts School. This page contains info about the character and links to other Cho Chang websites.

During Harry's fourth year, his crush on Cho develops further. They exchange greetings at the Quidditch World Cup, and he later asks her to be his dancing partner at the Yule Ball. However, Cedric Diggory, one of the other champions of the Triwizard Tournament, is the first to have asked Cho out, and the two of them end up going to the ball together much to Harry's disappointment. Nonetheless, Cho is still nice to Harry: for example, she refuses to wear one of Draco Malfoy's "Support Cedric Diggory/Potter Stinks" badges, a fact for which Harry is grateful.

At the beginning of Harry's fifth year, Cho surprises him by seeking him out several times and attempting to start conversations. Unfortunately for Harry, these encounters do not go well: the first time she comes by, she finds him covered with stinksap from one of Neville Longbottom's plants, and the second time she tries to talk with Harry, she ends up arguing with Ron Weasley about Quidditch teams instead. When invited, Cho Chang joins Dumbledore's Army because Harry is the one teaching. As a DA student, however, she has her ups and downs: she is able to conjure a corporeal patronus in the shape of a swan, but she also gets nervous and tends to mess up her spells when Harry is nearby.
