Harry Potter Actress Katie Leung Is Joining Bridgerton Season 4

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for both Harry Potter and Bridgerton, I must say this news has filled me with immense joy! Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang in the beloved Harry Potter series, is stepping into the regency-era world of Bridgerton. It’s a delightful twist for fans to see her return after almost 20 years, and it’s intriguing that she will be portraying a mother this time around.


We solemnly swear that this news is only good.  

It’s been confirmed that a character fans of Harry Potter will recognize, Katie Leung, who portrayed Harry’s early love interest Cho Chang in the movies, has been cast for season 4 of Bridgerton.

As a devoted admirer looking back, I initially encountered Katie in her student role during the Goblet of Fire, a film that graced our screens way back in 2005 (it’s hard to believe it’s been nearly two decades!). Given that she’s now 37 years old, it’s only fitting that for Bridgerton fans, she will introduce herself as a mother.

However, let’s rewind.

Season 4 of “Bridgerton” focuses on Benedict Bridgerton (portrayed by Luke Thompson), the second eldest sibling, who finds himself smitten by local maid Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) after a clandestine encounter at a masquerade ball. However, their romance will be put to the test as their true identities and social positions are disclosed, forcing them to navigate their love amidst the strict norms of society.

In what role does Katie assume this season? The talented Scottish actress is set to portray Araminta Gun, a woman who has been married and widowed twice and is a mother of two. She will introduce her daughters, Rosamund Li (Michelle Mao) and Posy Li (Isabella Wei), into the marriage market.

Oh, and she’s Sophie’s employer.

When Rosamund, her daughter, aims for Benedict’s affection, but finds him captivated instead by their maid Sophie, it’s guaranteed that there will be plenty of excitement and conflict ahead.

However, as the news about the fresh cast members stepping into the Bridgerton universe unfolds, they are delighting in their new positions.

On Instagram, posted on September 16 together with Michelle and Isabella’s casting news, Katie expressed her excitement by saying, “I’m buzzing with my girls!

Similarly to Yerin, there was a moment of apprehension about assuming the lead actress role in the cherished Netflix romance. However, these anxieties vanished once she encountered Luke for the first time at the residence of the showrunner, Jess Brownell.

In her conversation with Netflix’s Tudum, Yerin mentioned that Luke had his arms spread wide, waiting for a hug. This moment, she said, was when she realized, “Ah, OK, I can let go of small worries now. I can fully concentrate on building a genuine on-screen relationship with him.

And Luke, for his part, is excited to share this particular story with fans.

In an interview with Tudum, he pointed out that what stands out about season four is its portrayal of a classic fairy tale battle, blending the romantic charm with the raw truth of the world.

He went on to say, “Both statements stand correct. It’s essential to grasp both aspects – the idealistic and the practical – simultaneously. The finest manifestation of ‘true love’ occurs right in the midst of this balance.
