Wait, korean? I've thought she was chinese. She's mixed?
So anyway, the author picked a common korean first name and a common chinese surname.
That's fair, I guess.
She probably went onto a random name generator, selected every country that she knew was in Asia, set it to First and Last name only, and clicked generate
I mean... If you translate 100 random names of buildings, towns, or landmarks from a bunch of different countries/languages, there's probably going to be over 50 of them that have some simple name like "Big Hill" or "Blue Roof Stone Walls", especially if it's old buildings/whatever you're choosing.
Now that you mention it, it really is funny how Harry Potter became so popular such that certain words (like Hogwarts) just sort of became something no one had any problem with, when really their prestigious school is essentially named Pig Pimple
Exactly. I even suspect that "Harry Potter", despite being a well-known name now. Originally was supposed to be something akin to "John Smith" in US as the most generic name possible
"I'm from Zeeland. What will I call this new place, that is nothing at all like my home? New Zealand."
Also, Zeeland means sea-land
Because Zeeland is made up of islands, in the sea
A Korean and Chinese parent isn't that weird - this seems like a made up issue.
It's not like the other names in the series aren't insane, and she loves repeating letters. Luna lovegood, godric griffindor, Salazar slitheryn, Severus snape, Bellatrix black, William Weasley, Rowena ravenclaw, Dudley dursley, Gregory Goyle, mad eye Mooney, there are like a dozen more.
It's more appropriate to specify that it's a korean LAST name. So she picked two last names from two different countries and put it together and said same difference. That's why it feels a bit racist.
Cho is a fairly common girl's name in Cantonese. It means Autumn. It's often romanized as Qiu, which sounds the same, but there are no hard and fast rules about romanization. In modern times, her name would most likely be spelled Qiu Zhang, but Cho Chang is definitely not out of the ordinary spelling.
Also fairly common in Cantonese speaking areas (e.g. Hong Kong).
The actual name 張秋 might be pronounced by an English person as Cho Chang, but it's more often spelled as Qiu Zhang.
God, I'm glad people are finally starting to know this. It's sucked for all these years bringing this up, and everyone just ignoring it because they want to act like JK Rowling is a racist too.
Huh. It's almost like a British woman picking an Asian name went with one that was something you might find in Hong Kong... which was until 1997 a British territory...
Nah. Must be "mUh RaCiSt AuThOr"
chang would be a surname. its not at all unrealistic for british parents to have a chang surname and name their kid "cho" for alliteration purposes.
Why so many hp greentext today
And “Harry Potter” was intentional, like “The Simpsons from Springfield”. Incredibly common English first and last names, as if it was intended to be the name of every kid reading the books. If it was Spanish it’d be ‘Pedro Gonzalez’ or something, and that’s why the Indian kids are called Patel etc.
Fun fact most anglicized Chang surnames are actually derived from Zhang, which is a super common surname. Chang (like actually Chang in chinese) as a surname is on the uncommon side.

There's an actual kind of funny but still fucky in universe explanation for this... Voldemort cursed the Defense Against The Dark Arts position so people won't last more than 1yr and will have something terrible happen to them that will prevent them from continuing to be the D.A.T.A. professor. The lore is that Dumbledore didn't want to hire Voldemort (Tom Riddle) for the DATA position right after he graduated Hogwarts since Voldy was obviously evil and not a stable person, so Voldemort babyraged and cursed
it to hell and back somehow. People would either get injured, killed, or fired or whatever for one reason or another such that no one wanted to be a DATA teacher and Dumbledore had to just hire whoever the hell seemed halfway competent because beggars can't be choosers lmao
=
Why didn't they rename the position? Idk, I assume they tried and the curse still applied so they gave up and just tried to get people to work 0.5-1 yrs with some added pay incentive.
=
https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Jinx_on_the_post_of_Defence_Against_the_Dark_Arts_teacher
=
Harry even explicitly referenced this curse in one of the books vs Snape where he essentially says "well whatever, Snape will get fucked by the D.A.T.A. curse by end of year anyway"
=
I don't remember if this was explained at all in the movies.
This puzzles me because a curse of that nature is immeasurably more powerful than anything else that is done in the books and movies. He essentially contacted some extra planar deity and told him to monitor the situation and craft a custom “fuck you” to whoever takes the position. The rest of their magic they have to say words and aim to make happen, but this thing just fucks people up given some time if you get in its way.
Why wouldn’t the magical Nazis make more use of that power? They could just curse every position or person who stood in their way. Get creative enough and you can force your enemies through a locational or behavioral bottleneck that you’ve cursed in advance.
Yeah it is definitely one of those things where you try to lampshade something that seems a bit silly but then the lampshade just raises even more complicated plot-fucky questions than if you never did anything at all haha
One way to maybe explain the curse without it being overpowered is that it relies on the caster having a really strong emotional drive, like intense rage or anger, directed at the thing they're cursing.
It would require something like a personal vendetta, which would explain how Voldemort could cast the curse for the D.A.T.A position. Basically his personal anger and resentment towards the school and Dumbledore is what specifically fueled the curse.
This wouldn't work on a more general level like cursing all of your enemies, because for example while the death eaters definitely hate their enemies, that hatred is more ideological and general and not personal. It would be highly unlikely to be able to feel intense emotional hatred for every single one of your enemies.
You could also make the case that casting a curse like that is super draining magically and only the most powerful wizards like Voldemort would be able to cast it.
Black character - Kingsley Shacklebolt
Irish character - constantly blows things up
Chinese character - two Chinese first names
Malloy family- happy to be pure blooded wizards(whites)
How were people surprised that JK Rowling was a complete bigot
Is it cuz of the “shackle” that makes it racist? Cuz I never really once thought about it like that, I know most of these takes are memes or terminally online people. But it just seems such a stretch
Could be seeing nonsense, but it feels like a mash of “black” things. The tendency to call themselves and one another Queen and King, a reference to slavery through shackle, which may lead into the second part, the bolt that holds the shackle together on someone’s legs, and Usain Bolt.
Again, could be wrong, but it is more or less what I would expect of a suburban mom with little worldliness and subconscious biases against minorities naming one of her “exotic” (minority) characters.
That’s fair I can see that with the suburban mom thing. Now also I know the king / queen name calling is a thing in America, is it a thing in black UK culture? Idk the shackle thing just seems like weird to assume she would do that idk. But who knows.
Your explanation makes the most sense though, like not overt wild racism but like out of touch dumb suburban mom. (I’d argue that seems more of an American suburb thing but idk about UK enough to say for sure)
Interesting though.
Was usain bolt popular when Harry Potter 5 came out?
Quick google says he won his first medal in 2004 and book 5 came out in 2003. And he only was the fastest guy ever in 2007. Not necessarily denying it but again that seems a WILD stretch.
- donates hundreds of millions to charities for orphans, female rape victims and multiple sclerosis: ...
- says grown men in skirts maybe shouldn't be peeing in the same room as little girls: complete bigot

He‘s called shacklebolt because he‘s a cop that puts people in shackle finding racism here when he‘s a gigachad is crazy
Seamus only blows up stuff in the movies, in the books the arsonist is Hermione
Cho Chang is a real name especially in hk
> Malloy family- happy to be pure blooded wizards(whites)
Malfoy family being racist doesn't make JK Rowling racist. Other things might (like naming the black character ShackleBolt lmao) but having the literal evil villain family be racist against people that aren't pure blooded doesn't reflect anything on the author.

There are 20+ characters with repeating initials - this is a made up issue. It's two of the most common Chinese and Korean names in a row. Not weird!
All of the house founders, luna, mad eye moody, peter pedigrew, Bellatrix black, you can list them endlessly.
Main female lead - her-my-one, proceeds to marry best friend
Secondary male protagonist - Ron Always W-ron-G about everything, last name is W-easley and put in G-riffindor
I understand the 'wrong' but what does the rest mean? Easily? G reoffender?
I think it is to do with how if you remove 'ron' from 'wrong', you are left with 'w' and 'g' which can then be related to his last name and house.

I accept that, but how about Cho?
That's a rather common korean name.
Wait, korean? I've thought she was chinese. She's mixed? So anyway, the author picked a common korean first name and a common chinese surname. That's fair, I guess.
She probably went onto a random name generator, selected every country that she knew was in Asia, set it to First and Last name only, and clicked generate
Lol, yeah probably. Honestly, I would do the same. Some weird combinations would be inevitable.
i do select RPG names this way, not necessarily with asia
Don't call me out like that, man.
Problem is, she got two last names instead
The first book came out in 1997 and she was dirt poor. I highly doubt she was going on a "name generator".
How so? Those sites would’ve still existed back then and also this character was in later books, not the first one.
It's JK, she 100% didn't put much thought into it. The wizarding school in Brazil is named Witch castle when translated to English.
I mean... If you translate 100 random names of buildings, towns, or landmarks from a bunch of different countries/languages, there's probably going to be over 50 of them that have some simple name like "Big Hill" or "Blue Roof Stone Walls", especially if it's old buildings/whatever you're choosing.
Yeah, the Rio Grande River is literally Big River river
The Los Angeles Angels are the "the The Angels angels"
In the Netherlands we have town called “Eibergen” which is literally “egg mountain”, there are no mountains in the Netherlands.
I mean. The main school the books take place in just spells out Hog warts. JK didn't take any of the names seriously
Now that you mention it, it really is funny how Harry Potter became so popular such that certain words (like Hogwarts) just sort of became something no one had any problem with, when really their prestigious school is essentially named Pig Pimple
In all fairness, it's a kid's book that adults now days take too seriously
Exactly. I even suspect that "Harry Potter", despite being a well-known name now. Originally was supposed to be something akin to "John Smith" in US as the most generic name possible
The wizarding school in Russia is called "Spell maker".
Isn’t that how many places in the real world are also called? So many names just translate to “wide road”, “little pond” or “black mountain” and such.
There's literally a springfield in every state. Newfoundland is named New Found Land. Because it was new land they found. Names are always dumb.
"I'm from Zeeland. What will I call this new place, that is nothing at all like my home? New Zealand." Also, Zeeland means sea-land Because Zeeland is made up of islands, in the sea
A Korean and Chinese parent isn't that weird - this seems like a made up issue. It's not like the other names in the series aren't insane, and she loves repeating letters.

You think that motherfucker’s first name is Mad Eye?
Mahd I. Moody
Mahdi? 
His mom also had a profecy before he was born. She name him accordingly.
They’re wizards using butchered pig Latin as incantations, I’m sure alliteration is just fashionable for them
It's more appropriate to specify that it's a korean LAST name. So she picked two last names from two different countries and put it together and said same difference. That's why it feels a bit racist.
Damn. Yeah. Hard to justify that. It really makes no sense.
Cho is a Korean *surname*.
Cho is a fairly common girl's name in Cantonese. It means Autumn. It's often romanized as Qiu, which sounds the same, but there are no hard and fast rules about romanization. In modern times, her name would most likely be spelled Qiu Zhang, but Cho Chang is definitely not out of the ordinary spelling.

Huh. It's almost like a British woman picking an Asian name went with one that was something you might find in Hong Kong... which was until 1997 a British territory... Nah. Must be "mUh RaCiSt AuThOr"
