‘Harry Potter’ actress Katie Leung says she was told to deny racism experienced while filming

“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” star Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang, said that she was told to deny that she faced racist attacks from fans while filming the movies.

The actress recently appeared on an episode of the "Chinese Chippy Girl" podcast and claimed that publicists told her to deny racist attacks she was experiencing at the hands of fans should she ever be asked. It wasn’t long after her casting in "Goblet" that she began to see racism aimed at her.
