Unknown Scot to play Potter's girlfriend

Unknown Scottish actress Katie Leung has beaten thousands of young oriental actresses to win the role of Harry Potter’s first girlfriend in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

16-year-old Leung competed against 4,000 applicants for the role of Cho Chang – the Chinese girl Harry likes so much.

A movie insider says: "The film producers and author J K Rowling were keen to get a complete unknown for the part of Cho Chang and Katie's absolutely perfect.

"She's pretty, bright and one can see why Harry would have a crush on her. She has a glittering career ahead of her."
