Aaaargh! Page 615 and Cho Fucking Chan has not been described once, beyond being "pretty" and presumably "clever", because she's Ravenclaw. For fuck's sake. This is an outrage.

And do you know what upsets me particularly? If this were just deviant focalisation to demonstrate that Harry is gay as a Portmeirion Potato, then well and good. But it isn't. I suspect it's because Rowling is assuming that, since she has an Oriental-sounding (and yes, before anyone quotes Said, I *do* mean Oriental, not South-East Asian or Chinese, because I am focalising the narrative) name, we can fill in the blanks. Because Orientals (see above) are so homogenous, we can just assume that she's on the pretty end of the bell curve, and leave it at that. Hermione's new look gets about three pages more exposition than the look of somebody Harry is meant to be studying with such intense concentration as if he meant to draw her. Bill Weasley turns up twice and gets lengthy exposition and debate of the length of his hair.
Fuuuuuuck.
Incidentally, i think this might have to move to "Books" soonish, or at least could the Mods slap a spoiler warning in the title? |
