Katie Leung Shares Wisdom for New Harry Potter Stars
28 Jan
Summary
- Katie Leung advises new cast to have fun and ignore negativity.
- Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint sent letters to successors.
- Leung faced racism and hate comments during Harry Potter fame.
The upcoming Harry Potter TV series, slated for release in 2027, has sparked conversations among the original cast about passing the torch. Katie Leung, who portrayed Cho Chang in four films, recently shared her perspective on advising the new generation of actors. Unlike Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, who sent letters to their successors, Leung's primary advice for the incoming cast is to "have fun" and shut out external "noise."
Leung, who has since been cast in Bridgerton Season 4, also opened up about the overwhelming nature of fame during her Harry Potter tenure. She admitted to being consumed by curiosity about public reception, which unfortunately included encountering hateful and racist comments. Her first film appearance was in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" at age 18, followed by "Order of the Phoenix," "Half-Blood Prince," and "Deathly Hallows - Part 2."
