At a Hong Kong Comic Con panel last week, Katie Leung, 38, explained that her moher lives with her in London and helps raise her son, Wolf. The actress, best known as Cho Chang, joked that without her mum’s assistance she would be "dead," underscoring how central family support has become to her post‑Harry‑Potter life.

Leung credits mother Kar Wai Li for daily support

Leung told the audience that her mother, Kar Wai Li, lives in her house and acts as a "helper" who looks after her son. "Without her I would be dead," the actress said, adding that her mum "loves my son, her grandson," and that this arrangement was something she always wanted for her future.. According to the interview, the mother‑son bond is now the backbone of Leung’s routine.

Living arrangement inccludes cousin as godmother in London home

The actress also revealed that her cousin, who is the godmother of Wolf, shares the household. "We have like a big household of people," Leung said,highlighting a multi‑generational support network that extends beyond her mother. This co‑habitation model reflects a shift from the solitary celebrity lifestyle many fans imagine.

Early fame left Leung feeling unprepared, says Hong Kong Comic Con

Leung reflected on being cast as Cho Chang as a teenager,noting she "wasn't an actor before I got the part" and had no idea what fame entailed. She described herself as "really shy" and said the spotlight "didn't really serve me". As reported at the event, she admitted she "just wanted to hide" when thrust into global attention.

Family background: parents' split and transnational upbringing

Leung’s father, restaurateur Peter Leung, and mother Kar Wai Li separated when she was three. Her mother moved back to Hong Kong while Katie and her younger brother were raised by their father in Scotland, moving between Ayr, Hamilton and Motherwell. This cross‑border upbringing informs the actress’s current blend of Asian and British cultural ties.

Will Leung’s support network change after son’s first year?

The source did not address whether the household composition will shift as Wolf grows older, leaving fans to wonder if the mother‑cousin arrangement will remain the same. As of now, Leung has not disclosed any plans to alter her living situation.
