Reasons Harry Potter Should Have Ended Up With Cho Chang Rather Than Ginny Weasley
HARRY HAD FEELINGS FOR HER EARLY ON
While Ginny might have been in Harry’s orbit from the beginning because she was Ron’s sister, he never really saw her as more than that until much later on. With Cho, on the other hand, Harry had a crush on her pretty much from the moment he saw her. While having a crush doesn’t necessarily make two people a good match, it does indicate that Harry had a natural attraction to Cho and was paying attention to her from the get-go.
THEY HAD A CONNECTION BECAUSE OF SHARED TRAUMA
While Harry wasn’t that good at handling it, the fact is that Harry and Cho had both been through almost the same trauma after the death of Cedric Diggory. While Harry didn’t really know how to process this outwardly, Cho did. Harry definitely didn’t react to any of this very well, but in many ways, Cho could have been a good person for him to work out some of his trauma with. He also could have had the potential to help her deal with what happened to Cedric.
CHO WOULD HAVE CHALLENGED HARRY TO BREAK OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE
While there’s definitely something to be said about Harry finally finding a family, the fact is that he also doesn't really break out of his comfort zone. He seems to spend most of his life with Ron, Hermione, and the Weasleys...and that’s about it. Having someone who would push him to get to know new people and be a little less insular would also be a positive thing. In this way, Cho definitely would have been a positive person in Harry’s life and could have introduced him to new horizons.
HARRY’S CRUSH ON GINNY SEEMED TO COME OUT OF NOWHERE
While the relationship between Harry and Cho was somewhat built up, the one between Harry and Ginny wasn’t so much. Harry’s internal thoughts reflected he had budding feelings for Cho starting in his third year, and then things progressed over the next couple of years. On the flip side, Harry never really showed any romantic interest in Ginny at all until his sixth year, and even then it wasn't planned out or introduced in a gradual way.
