About Katie Leung
Katie Leung is a Scottish actress. She began her career playing Cho Chang in the Harry Potter film series. On television, she is known for her roles in the BBC series One Child (2014) and Annika (2021–2023), the ITV series Strangers (2018), and the Amazon Prime series The Peripheral (2022). She also voiced Caitlyn Kiramman in the Netflix animated series Arcane (2021–2024). Leung reprised her role in the subsequent films in the series, most notably Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, in which her character had the distinction of being Harry Potter's first romance. While Leung was greeted warmly by most of the fandom, other fans created hate websites in response to her casting and posted many racist messages which were upsetting to her at the time. In her first role outside of Harry Potter, Leung played Hsui Tai in the episode "Cat Among the Pigeons" of ITV1's Agatha Christie's Poirot, which premiered on 21 September 2008.
