ViKtor Krum
In the novel:
Eighteen years old, the seeker of the Bulgarian national Quidditch team, He is dark and thin, with a big hooked nose and a pair of thick black eyebrows. His feet are a bit splayed. He is also a student of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
In reality:
Stanislav Ivanetsi (played by Viktor Krum) in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" Viktor Krum represented Durmstrang in the Triwizard Tournament, competing against Hogwarts and Beauxbatons.
The 20-year-old Bulgarian-born Stanislav was accidentally cast as Krum while studying at a boarding school in England. Stanislav had been attending boarding school in England for four years when the casting director for the Harry Potter films visited his school and heard him talking in the corridors. Casting director Fiona Weir asked the director of the drama school if Stanislav would audition for the role of Viktor Krum. Stanislav was listed as one of the candidates after the primary election, but missed the second round of interviews due to academic commitments, so he believed his chances of being selected were greatly reduced.
Stanislav later got another audition and was named one of the final candidates. Although he had never acted professionally, there was a tradition of acting in his family, and it was obvious to casting directors that he had a talent. Stanislav met again with the casting director and was invited to meet with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell. He was later informed that he had been cast as Viktor Krum.
When not filming, Stanislav, like his character Klum, enjoys a variety of sports including tennis, football, rugby, track and field, and swimming.
