Born: August 08, 1987 in Motherwell, Scotland, UK

Katie Leung joined the Harry Potter cast for the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This was Katie's first professional role and her first-ever acting role. She was cast as Cho Chang, beating out 5,000 other girls for the role, after responding to an open casting call in 2004. She had no prior acting experience or coaching; her father saw an advertisement on a Chinese television channel for the casting call, and Katie thought it might be quite "fun" to go along and try her luck. When she saw the length of the line at the audition, she almost left to go shopping. Katie is a huge music fan and listens to all kinds of music including R&B, Pop, Rock and Hip Hop. She also plays the piano. Katie will reprise her role of Cho Chang in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," and will appear in the television series "Poirot" in 2008.
