I guess I'm saying a bit of both - I wasn't crazy about the route JKR 
chose to take with Cho, but I also generally wasn't crazy about her 
as a character anymore.  I liked her very much in GoF.  

However, I found Cho's character to be quite real in OoP - girls 
really are like that.  I know I was always second guessing boys' 
actions and was way too emotional when I was 16.

I agree with you, too, David, about Cho and Harry never working out 
as a couple because of Cedric's death.  I even stated that earlier, 
somewhere in the seemingly thousands of posts that have popped up 
since yesterday.
