Character Background
Cho Chang is a Ravenclaw student and Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. She is known as Harry Potter's first crush and a member of Dumbledore's Army.
Design Notes
This figure used the 'short' legs which do not bend, common for younger characters in the 2018 wave, though Cho is technically an upperclassman.
Similar Minifigures
71022 Harry Potter CMF Series Cho Chang, Luna Lovegood (2018 version), and basic Ravenclaw student figures.
Collectibility
Moderate. Highly desirable for those looking to complete the 2018 Great Hall scene, though surpassed in detail by the CMF series version.
History
First introduced in 2018 as one of the key supporting characters for the theme's 'Wave 1' reboot. This was the first time Cho Chang had appeared in LEGO form in 13 years.
Interesting Facts
The 2018 Great Hall set was the first time LEGO included a Ravenclaw student in a flagship Hogwarts castle set in many years.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display in a Ravenclaw house scene or the Hogwarts Great Hall. Keep her with Cedric Diggory or Harry Potter for story-accurate vignettes.
Modification Potential
Torso is excellent for custom Ravenclaw students or MOCs of the Hogwarts Express. Swap for medium legs to give her poseability.
Overall Assessment
Overall quality 8/10. A solid representatation of the character that served as a cornerstone of the 2018 Harry Potter lineup. Essential for completionists of the 'Modular Hogwarts' system.
