Leung was born in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire to Peter and Kar Wai Li Leung. Her parents are now divorced, and she currently resides with her father (a native of Hong Kong), two brothers, and a sister.citation needed
Her father runs a restaurant in Glasgow, as well as a wholesale business in Chinese cuisine.citation needed Besides English, Leung can also speak some Cantonese and a few words of Mandarin. Leung attended Hamilton College, a Scottish independent school in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. She currently lives in London.They have a house in High Earnock is a private housing estate in Hamilton, Scotland and is a subdivision of the ancient district of Earnock, along with Little Earnock, Earnock Estate, and Meikle Earnock.citation needed
Leung has been named as Scotland's most stylish female and as the "hottest" Scotswoman by The Scotsman.[1]
Leung's father saw an advertisement for a casting call for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and suggested she try out. She waited for four hours in line for her five minute audition. Two weeks later she was called for a workshop and was later offered the part of Cho. More than 3,000 other girls had been considered for the part, including actresses Courtney Webb and Michelle Ang.[2] She stated in an interview with the Daily Record that her Scottish accent probably gave her an edge in the casting.[3]
Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry, said that Leung is "awesome" and a "really amazing actress". Her best friend on set was Bonnie Wright who plays Ginny Weasley in the films. Leung delayed plans to go to art college and university in order to film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In the film, Leung and Radcliffe share an on-screen kiss, a fact that received much media attention.[4]
When asked whether she will be back for the sixth film, Leung responded, "I don't think so. Cho's mentioned briefly in the books, but they try to cram so much into the films that I don't think there'll be room for her."[5] However, in an interview at the Order of the Phoenix DVD Launch in November 2007, she said she would be filming scenes for the film in January 2008.[6]
In July 2007, Leung was cast by Gold Label Records, a subsidiary of EMI in Hong Kong, to be the female lead in the music video Love Coming Home (愛回家) by Leo Ku. Leung filmed the movie in London while promoting the new Harry Potter film. Leo described Leung's acting as "professional" and "mature".[7]
Leung is signed up to play Hsui Tai in the episode "Cat Among the Pigeons" of ITV1's Agatha Christie's Poirot, alongside David Suchet,[8]premiering on ITV, September 21, 2008.
