20 Worst Moments In Wizarding World Movies
17. Harry Dumps Cho - Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
The last two entries should've been changed from the source material, but this is an example of a very misjudged deviation from the book.
In the fifth film in the series, Harry Potter gets his first girlfriend, Cho Chang (Katie Leung). In the book, this relationship just breaks down due to them not really fitting together but in the film, it's very different.
Cho is taken by Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), tortured and given a truth potion. She therefore reveals, against her will, where Dumbledore's Army is practising. But rather than being sympathetic to her, Harry dumps her over this even though it wasn't her fault, and he comes across as a terrible jerk. In terms of unlikeability, this is easily his lowest moment of the series.
What makes this worse is that, up until this point, this subplot is perhaps done better in the film than in the book, since Cho is considerably less annoying, so this makes for sour viewing overall.
