My interpretation of Cho Chang bc I’m also a Ravenclaw and i love my house

Harry Potter y la cuestionable representación femenina parte 1

Jk Rowling a hablado desde hace mucho tiempo por la representación femenina, que está bien , pero lamentablemente, ella aún no sabe como hacerla , ya que en muchas ocasiones perpetúa ideas sexistas y misoginas , y esto realmente lo entiendo, Harry Potter se empezó a escribir en el siglo pasado, varios arquetipos estaban de moda, peor no quita que su libro aún hoy en día sigue siendo relevante , y sigue permeando las ideas de las personas

Vamos a hablar básicamente personaje por personaje , y por el momento solo de los más importantes o populares, a si que empezaremos con hermione, hay varios clichés femeninos que se pueden asociar con su personaje, el primero es el de la chica lista, este es sencillo, la chica tan lista que no tiene tiempo para cosas superficiales, como maquillarse , chismear o verse linda, peor si se vuelve loca ante una calificación no perfecta, o cuando su crush varón no le hace caso

Realmente estos personajes casi siempre terminan su arco con una pareja , hombre en su mayoría, y también aprendiendo que pueden ser bonitas también, no en a donde las lleva su inteligencia, o que hacen con ella, como puede pasar con personajes masculinos

en Harry Potter esta por ejemplo tom riddle, cuyo arco es de un niño brillante que se vuelve la encarnación del mal , pero hermione en los libros termina su arco con su relación con ron, medio se explora después sus logros políticos, pero eso ya es un después de su arco en los libros

También está el cliché de "no soy como las demás chicas", que es básicamente, mostrar como superior a una mujer que no gusta de lo que asociamos como femenino, por sobre las una mujer que ama estas cosas , usualmente como dentro de conflicto, no su moralidad, no sus intereses diferentes, si no un hombre

Y el ejemplo está muy claro, hermione y lavender , donde básicamente solo se odian por ron, su enemistad es solo eso, ron sale con una , la otra automáticamente ma odia , aún si nos la quién vender como más profunda que eso, que lo es, hermione tenía mucho potencia , pero la forma en la que esta escrita hace que nos fijemos más en el drama romántico

Cosa que si pasa con ron, donde hay un odio hacia un rival amoroso, pero jamás vemos a vicktor tan patético o molesto como lavender, solo miren como los tiene el fandom, buena parte del fandom odia a lavender, aún si hermione la odia solo por celos y ron juega con ella, mientras a vicktor hay de 2, o es tu husbando o tu villano de fanfiction

El siguiente personaje es luna, que me quieran creer o no, si bien sigue con el tropo de "no soy como las otras chicas", logra salirse un poquito del molde , primero , a diferencia de hermione , su arco no tiene que ver con un hombre

Su arco es más el como aprende a hacer amigos, y como estos buscan comprenderla , eso sí, casi siempre es todo desde el punto de vista masculino, más harry y un poco ron,mientras que con ginny la relación ya estaba hecha, aún si no se menciona antes su amistad, y con hermione es lo mismo que se odian

Pero hasta eso, si medio rivalidad con hermione se sale del estándar, sería más común que se pelearan por un chico, pero no, a qui se pelan porque sus creencias y valores chocan , aunque es una pena que solo logren convivir bien por un hombre, harry , pero igual es una rivalidad más interesante que la de hermione y lavender

Lo que si es que jk Rowling tiene una necesidad terrible para emparejar a las mujeres jóvenes, Tonks es un ejemplo, donde tuvo un inicio de relación forzada con un hombre adulto, perfectamente su arco pudo ser de probarse a si misma , y vivir la vida , en ves de volverla una madre joven con un tipo mayor por mucho,y matarla

Pero volvamos a luna, no había necesidad de emparejarla con un nieto de newt que ni conocemos , a diferencia del de hermione , que si bien me enoja que haya sido su cierre , no niego que como ship no esta tan mal, tenían mínimo trasfondo, pero con luna es como,se fue de aventuras y le gustó un wey , perfectamente puso ser soltera , digo,charlie esta soltero , porque ella no podría también?

Luego vamos a ginny, que pasa algo similar con hermione, donde sus grande habilidad se vuelven invisibles hante su arco romántico, ella literalmente abandona todo por Harry

miren su matrimonio,harry a pesar de tener todo el dinero del mundo sigue con un trabajo súper peligroso, ser auroro , y ginny, que si bien tenía un trabajo muy peligroso , ser jugadora de quidditch, estamos de acuerdo que en el de ginny no es tan probable le manden una maldición asesina, además, de que era su sueño, harry lo hace más por su trauma de la guerra , para asegurarse que todo este bien,y un poco por sus padres , pero ginny , para ginny no era un trauma , era libertad

Y aún a si abandona su gran carrera , por tener hijos con Harry, y un aburrido trabajo de escritor, porque ella jamás demostró interés en la escritura, no es lo mismo ser periodista de deportes a jugar el deporte

Además, sus relaciones con las mujeres igual son extrañas , como con fleur, sjuzgandola solo por ser bonita , y con hermione, cuya relación empieza somos porque se ayudaran con sus crushes, a diferencia de Harry y ron, donde hablan más que de solo su vida romántica, su única amistad femenina que no tuvo que ver con un hombre es luna,y no tiene ni siquiera trasfondo

Ahora, hablemos de chicas que se adhieren más a los estándares de género, y son odiadas por eso, básicamente hablemos de fleur y cho, de lavender no hablaremos más, porque literalmente solo es la fastidiosa que se interpone en el ship, otra ves , aún si ron decidió salir con ella solo por su baja autoestima, de la cual ella no tenía la culpa

Fleur es básicamente la más débil del torneo ,cosa que no tiene sentido , su escuela había ganado un chingo de veces , pudo analizar estrategias de anteriores ganadores , lo que la pondría por sobre vicktor ,luego es mayor y vivió más tiempo en el mundo mágico, tiene experiencia, lo que la pondría por sobre Harry,pero aún así se vuelve solo la perdedora, que no sería tan malo, si no fuera la única mujer , digo, costaba tanto que cedric fuera cerice?

Y si bien su arco es sobre humildad, que por ese lado no está tan mal, su máxima prueba de humildad se vuelve casarse con bill, y después solo sabemos que esta allí, yo me pregunto, porque la señora no pide ayuda a francia , hay muchos magos famosos que fueron a beauxbatons que pudieron ayudar,que ella pudo llamar y liderar ,como Slughorn, pero solo se quedó detrás de bill

Y por último esta cho, que la trama solo la hace ver como una llorona que no merece a Harry, cuando no, esos 2 tenían una relación súper tóxica, ella no estaba lista para tener una relación, y trato de superarla usando a Harry,y el otro básicamente no respeto el duelo ajeno, y fue un insensible que no respeto los sentimientos de cho, y que cedric había muerto hace menos de un año

Pero en ves de mostrar cono no todas las relaciones funcionan, como no esta bien idealizar personas, o como no en todas las separaciones hay a fuerzas un malo, con harry aceptado que cho no está lista y no es la chica que idealiso ,mientras ella buscando superar la muerte de cedric,talvez junto con Harry , la ponene a ella como la mala por no cumplir las espectativas del señor

En conclusión,talvez para la época esta representación fue buena, pero hoy en día tiene errores garrafales, y realmente jk no a avanzado mucho, miren a rose en el legado maldito que es súper de fondo, o leta que solo sirve para morirse, la única solución que se me ocurre es , que ella de verdad estudie sus personajes, los clichés que ella usó, y haga un cambio

Harry Potter y su mundo siguen siendo populares , puede escribir otro libro del mundo y se vendera seguro , un buen inicio sería , no se,poner personajes femeninos como protagonistas

Digo, Harry Potter, animales fantásticos y el legado maldito tiene de protagonista hombres, porque no podría haber una historia aparte con una protagonista femenina, podría incluso hacer lo mismo que Stephanie meyer (que su obra también es problemática) y hacer un genderbend de su obra , se vendería como pan caliente , es j k Rowling, no tiene que pedir representación femenina buena , ella ya puede hacerla

Just worked on this don’t know if it’s good but you know I’m kinda proud of it

Cedric was not one that could be angered easily. But tonight, he had nearly blew a gasket. When he had asked Cho Chang to be his date it was more of a ploy to try and get over his first ( and only) love... and to maybe get her a little jealous. But the tables were turned as soon as he saw who Viktor Krum had brought as his date. Viktor had brought Harriet Potter ( love of Cedric’s life) as his date with a smug smirk on his face when looking at Cedric. It took everything in Cedric not to demand answers from Krum and even more to not abandon Cho in favor of stealing Harriet. After glaring and hoping a hole would burn into Krum’s head, he turned his head slightly to take in Harriet’s appearance. She was naturally beautiful and did not care for makeup and other girly things. But seeing her dressed up for the Yule Ball absolutely took his breath away. She was dressed in emerald green gown that had made Slytherin girls green with envy and Slytherin boys drool and trip over themselves.

Gorgeous, could not begin to describe how she looked. One would wonder if Harriet had Veela lineage. Seeing her so beautiful but for another man made Cedric feel something twist painfully in his stomach and boil his blood. Through out the night he had made sure that Krum had made no advancements on his lioness. He hardly made an effort to pay attention to Cho. If he had he would of noticed her scowling at Harriet and trying to divert his attention back to her.

Viktor’s POV

It was quite amusing to see the foolish badger looking territorial. I had asked Harriet to the ball after finding her crying in a library secluded table. After coming to this foolish school, I could find that many of it’s residents were just downright frustrating to deal with. However, I had met Harriet and her friends. Her lot and her knew that I was just another person, so we had become quick friends. Harriet is the sister I always wanted so, seeing cry just made me so furious with Diggory. After the fist task a lot of people had begun to see that my darling little sister did not willingly enter her name but Diggory was still hesitant to come and apologize to her. She looked so sad that he had asked another girl to the ball that I just had to do something. Not to mention this was the perfect way to keep all unworthy boys away from my precious sister. After all despite what my sister thinks she is actually very desired through out the school. I was pulled out of my musings when I felt someone staring at me. I turned around to see stormy gray eyes of my fellow champion. I wanted to mess with him a little so I did what would probably rile any guy up. I put my arm around my honorary sister’s waist and whispered in her ear.

“ I would rather be playing some quidditch with you instead of this boring ball, after all you are probably the only one that could match my skill here.”, I saw from the corner of my eye Diggory tensing up and looked like he was going to stomp his way towards us If he hadn’t been held back by that infuriating girl, Cho Chang.

“ Same, I would rather be flying through the air than having my feet on my ground.”, Harriet had whispered back to me with a beaming smile on her face. That smile alone caused my heart to melt at how adorable she is. And from my field of vision it looked like I wasn’t the only one affected. Boys all over the hall were getting slapped upside their head for staring at Harriet. But the best reaction was Diggory‘s he looked absolutely transfixed on Harriet that he didn’t notice Cho huff at him with frustrated tears in her eyes. Ah, it is always a pleasure in giving people a taste of their own medicine.

Cedric’s POV:

It hurt so much to see her smile like that to another man. Despite being Hufflepuff’s poster boy, I am still a man ( that happens to be a little possessive when it comes to my lioness). I know I broke up with Harriet but I wasn’t thinking clearly and was hurt when I heard all the rumors going around school. I should have known better but I wanted this chance to prove that I was good enough to be her first and only boyfriend. But seeing her so friendly with the Viktor Krum made me wonder if I was really worth being her only boyfriend — no, I refuse. I am going to prove that I am worthy of loving her. I just need to prove to her that she is the only one for me and that I would only ever truly love her. But I already messed up by bring Cho, maybe I could just leave early and tell Cho that we should just be friends. Hufflepuff reputation of being kind aside, I just wanted my fierce lioness back and hopefully she still wants her ridiculous badger. I turned to face Cho to get it over with because a second more of seeing Krum whispering and giggling with my lioness is starting to cause me to see red and not the good kind like Harriet’s quidditch uniform. As I turned to look at Cho for the fist time since I saw Harriet enter the hallway on Krum’s arm and I see a weird look in her eye, better get this over with, NOW.

Cho’s POV:

Cedric was finally looking at ME. Not that glorified Potter. I don’t get why all the boys seem to be fawning over her. She was pretty sure but usually Potter doesn’t even care to look presentable during school. Unlike me, in which I make sure that I look nothing less than 110%. So when Cedric took his eyes off his horrendous ex, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

“Hey... um... “, why was he being so awkward? Was he going to apologize for ignoring me or maybe even better ask me to be his new girlfriend, I know I would be much better at it than Potter.

Oh! I can already see our future together the wedding, the house and even our-

“I’m going to turn in Cho, I’m pretty tired. Thanks for being such a good friend —“. I couldn’t process anything my dear Cedric said after that.

He wasn’t going to ask me out?! But why?!?! I am literally the most perfect girl for him! It MUST be because he was still under that chit Potter lover spell. Oh my poor Cedric! Don’t worry darling, I will be there when you finally realize that I am truly the one for you. I looked up to see Cedric had an expected face, he was waiting for my response.

“ Don’t worry Cedric you just go back to your dorm and get some rest. Merlin knows you deserve it.” I said with a forced smile on my face. I watched him with concentrated eyes as he walked back to his dorm. Blasted Potter was still on Krum’s arm acting so innocent, if she’s innocent then Snape actually loves Gryffindor.

Draco’s POV:

Blasted Krum, how dare he just show up to my school and think he can have anybody he wants. Potter should be on my arm showing her how much better than Diggory I was. But instead she’s on the arm of that brute. She looked absolutely gorgeous and had a lot of the male population’s eyes on her through out the ball, it just made me want to scream and hex said male population for daring to look at her. I wanted to ask her to the ball since I knew Diggory had asked Cho but word got around that Potter had a mystery date and rejecting any and all invites. It had made me burn with rage that I had originally plotted to hex whoever her date was when they finally showed their stupid face. Seeing as her date turned out to be Krum threw my plan out the bloody window. Damned Krum, my father will hear about this.

I should also make this clear that I got some inspiration from a fanfic that is called Helena Potter. But this is still a fanfic idea that I am hoping that could be brought to life or at least written out.

Fanfic Idea

Watching the Harry Potter Movies but Harry goes by Harriet because he will be a girl in this also Cedric will be alive and dating her since 3rd year but then they had a fight and broke up during the Goblet of Fire. But got back together after she had saved him from being killed by Wormtail. While Harriet is jealous that he had taken Cho Chang to the Yule Ball Cedric is even more jealous when he finds out that she was asked out by Viktor Krum. Viktor had seen Harriet crying over Cedric asking Cho out and he wanted Cedric to get a taste of his own medicine and he saw Harriet as a little sister. So during the entire ball instead of paying attention to Cho and dancing with her, he kept glaring at Viktor every time he danced and was talking to Harriet which was basically through the whole night. Cho had started to get jealous of Harriet because even though Cedric and Harriet broke up Cedric still loved her and Cho hated that Harriet had basically every guy’s attention tonight as she was even more gorgeous then ever before. Cedric was steaming as he started to notice that nearly every guy was slobbering over his Harriet. Everyone will be there to watch the movies and finally see how Harriet actually lives. Cedric during the whole thing will be very possessive and protective of his little lioness. Draco, who had been basically pining after Harriet since first year did the same as Cedric but ignored Pansy the whole time. We would also see a very overprotective Sirius and Weasley Family. As Ron would see how bummed out Harriet is over Cedric that he realized that she would never enter this on purpose. So in turn we would have Ron and the rest of the Weasley’s plus Hermione, Sirius, and Remus being very overprotective. And have one Cedric slowly realizing that he made a mistake and would do anything to get his little lioness to forgive him and give him a second chance. While Draco and Cho would be sitting in jealous watching the couple. Cedric will be apart of story since the very beginning and instead of the Golden Trio they will be the Hogwarts Four.

Also a thing I love that authors do is name actors who they envision playing the role in their fanfics and since I can never properly see a female Harry I ask that you provide an actress that you envision as Harriet. Though if you can’t I understand.

I wanted to ad more GIFs but I thought it would be too much so I just put what I felt were the major characters.

(I do not own this artwork) I updated and added this picture because I think this drawing of fem!Harry is cute 😊.
