So Cho Chang is a horribly emotional and hysterical Asian British girl. Or something. See, it's not clear why she's Asian. It's not precisely clear what kind of Asian she is, though she's not 'Asian' in the British sense--that's left to Parvati and Padma. Sure, she breaks out crying all the time at the loss of her white boyfriend Cedric (which is odd, as I only know black people named Cedric these days, so maybe he was--maybe with the last name of Diggory he's actually Aborigine (in the British sense)). If I ever had a daughter, I would not name her Cho. That is because in Chinese pinyin or whatnot, it sounds kind of like her name is Smelly-Dirty (it is actually Wade-Gilles, but who's keeping track?). Still, it's unclear why Harry misses the Cho Chang boat, and why indeed the Cho Chang boat feels obliged to sail: maybe it's the away-from-homeness, but most AA girls I know at least had the decency to wait until college before exclusively dating white guys. Of course, I've yet to spot any Chinabois at Hogwarts.

Finally, if you were forced to name a black wizard, I suppose Kingsley Shacklebolt is as good a name as any. Still, I will welcome submissions via the comments page for names for a black wizard (it might help to note that he is dark-skinned, tall, bald, and has a gold hoop earring in one ear. Like Black Mr. Clean, but magical.)
