Ginny and Harry’s first kiss in the film was miles away from the spontaneous, passionate moment in the book. The book presents Cho as a more well-rounded character and readers were much more enthralled by the excitement of Harry’s first kiss. Love or hate her, the book scene does address a deeper issue and had a much more effective buildup of anticipation. Cho overcomes many more impressive emotional obstacles in the book. Cho exhibits growth and gallantly returns to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts alongside the DA. In the book, readers understand why they’re not compatible. Cho and Harry’s breakup feels much less warranted. Even though she’s coerced into selling out the DA with Veritaserum, the truth of the matter never fully comes to light. The movie skates over Cho and Harry’s relationship and blames their breakup on Cho telling Dolores Umbridge about the DA. Harry’s first love is devoid of the teenage awkwardness so apparent in the book. In return, Daniel Radcliffe’s portrayal of Harry’s first kiss appears rehearsed and stiff. Her character lacks the emotional repercussions of Cedric’s death. She does express a moment of grief for Cedric Diggory, but she seems sure as she kisses Harry under the mistletoe. In the movie, Cho is calm and collected as she stays behind after the Dumbledore’s Army meeting. The kiss in the film has a much different tone. Harry’s ability to empathize and understand how he should have navigated the situation with Cho after the Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop fiasco probably helped him in the future with his relationship with Ginny.

Perhaps Cho is less likable as a person in the book, but can you blame her? I would probably display jealousy for Hermione Granger if I were dealing with the murder of Cedric Diggory at 16 years old. Harry doesn’t know how to deal with his own pain and is at a loss when it comes to talking to Cho and engaging in a healing dialogue. Hermione reveals that Cho’s traumatic loss has haunted her throughout the year when Harry divulges his “wet” kiss with a crying Cho to his friends. In the book, Cho is clearly conflicted about liking Harry – a completely normal emotion for a girl who just lost a boyfriend.

While Harry is squirming internally with nerves, Cho is experiencing a range of emotions that could be held in a full measuring cup. The book’s kissing scene (before and after) is much more telling of Cho’s personality. Cho Chang was the object of Harry’s fantasies for two years before they finally shared a kiss. Harry’s first crush came with an abundance of teen angst. movie kisses (and the relationships along with them) and reminisce about their differences. Harry Potter has a surprising number of kisses we all looked forward to when we made the journey to the theater.
