I will say one part I love about Krum in the movies is when he gets snarky with Rita Skeeter. "You have no business here. This tent is for champions... And friends."
That is such a cute line in the books, but it foes makes senes: Krum is older and he is an internatinal Quidditch Star, plus always seeming very stoic... I'm sure Harry pretty much considers him the height of cool, with his little 14 yo Brain
@@saiyasha848 it could have also been the fact that the tournament has canceled all Quidditch matches for that year (which is a HUGE stress reliever for Harry as he finds flying and the sport in general enjoyable) and finally getting to play with someone who knows what they're doing and loves the sport as much as he does just got him pumped. 😂
He can't even talk to Hermione at first 😂. He like watches her from afar for a while before getting up the courage to talk to her. It's freaking adorable
This was a huge missed opportunity too. Cuz the ENTIRE book everyone, even the main characters think Krum is some stuck up playboy, but this moment with Harry shows that he’s actually insecure and shy, and him and Harry actually end up bonding a bit. Harry is Krum’s first friend who didn’t care about his Quidditch Stardom.
To be fair Harry didn’t have a normal life by wizard standards. Raised by abusive muggles after his family was murdered, got famous from not being murdered as a baby, suddenly thrown into the wizarding world without warning, then spending most of his adolescence trying not to get clapped by the Dark Lord who for some reason has declared a child as his nemesis. I don’t think he had the time for normal things like becoming a devoted Quidditch fan 😂

Viktor was the FIRST person to tell her how special he thought she was.
Yeah, I think you're on point with that. Yet, paradixically, even if Hermione was nerdy and not-caring about her looks, Krum was like the first one to perceive her as a woman and not as a geeky friend that knows all the answers and helps us with homework. Also, that characteristics of "not needing to chase after someone" or simply not being desperate is helluva attractive and that is what strikes Krum about her. Firstly, when we see Krum being chased by these women, Hermione comments on it rather negatively, being suspicious of him walking around the castle like that and those girls being after him... But maybe she already thinks of him like those girls do, but she's just not willing to do the same thing. She's got her life, her passions, and a friend in need to stay alive in the tournament. However, when it is Krum who approaches her, she's all in for it. The tragedy, sadness and loneliness of Krum, international Quidditch star, is on point too. He's still a kid, young man, a teenager. Kind of gives off that Draco's vibe, but with more self-reflection and humility - Draco's is rather compensating his needs for attention and warm from the parents by taking advantage of other people and being arrogant. Great to see him change later on too.
Not to mention that he's hunched over and walk weird, clumsily almost. Yet becomes the most graceful human on a broom. Also is surprisingly studious. Not to mention how humble and down to earth he is about pretty much everything.
Viktor was actually an amazing human being. Had Harry said he was interested in Hermione he would have backed off instantly. Even when he found out about Ron he still backed off and just became a long time friend of Hermione, just dropped any chance at romance.

okay i really really dont mean to burst your bubble here and it probably isnt a good idea to say something that might start an argument but theres a key detail about krum that everyone just seems to forget… and thats the fact that he is 18 while hermione is 14. Its easy to forget because “aw cute romance” but uh, hermione has barely hit puberty while krum is literally about to be an adult. Four years may not seem like a big deal but when you are a teenager it absolutely IS. ESPECIALLY considering the fact that Krum is famous and financially stable while hermione.. isnt? The power imbalance on paper is weird.
@squidpee they were both high-schoolers at the time though. Students together at the same school. They kissed once and that's it. It's not like he made her do anything she didn't want to. Don't make this a dark thing when it's not.
@@elliewellie_TH-cam They were both highschoolers at the same time, but I think that only adds to my point. Seniors date Freshmen all the time and it rarely ever ends well. They also didn't attend the same school but that's neither here nor there. I'm not trying to say Krum was sexually abusing her, because you are right, he never made her do anything she didn't want to do and they only kissed once. Yet, it's still weird. Sexual abuse isn't the only risk with those kind of relationships. Power imbalances are very incredibly bad for mental health and an age difference is probably one of the worst power imbalances. It would be so easy for Hermione to idolize Krum, and even if they had both had pure intentions and hermione was smart and krum was kind it would still be dangerous because of that age difference.
@squidpee I don't disagree that this happens but let's not project things onto kids that aren't happening. They only had a ~3 year age gap and were in the same school. It's a case by case thing where you should look at behavior and not make sweeping generalizations.
@@elliewellie_TH-cam it was a 4 year age gap and when you are a teenager thats a big deal. They are fundementally at different brain development stages. She turned 14 that year. Hes literally old enough to participate in a death competition when shes not but suddenly its okay when he wants to take a 14 year old out on dates and stuff?? It does need generalization because in all cases its weird and also because fiction impacts reality. It may have been okay and wholesome in that case but if a 14 year old girl read the books and got the impression that was okay and got abused because of it thats not okay. Thats the problem, these are books for kids who are impressionable, thats why twilight is so detrimental because normalizing this stuff puts people in danger. Like yes the fault is always the abuser but its negligent at best to allow these kinds of relationships to be romanticized. I dont care that its wholesome or not dangerous in this case; it still can have a negative impact
I am convinced that was exactly what they did after the books ended. Probably playing a friendly match of Quidditch, then getting absolutely hammered on some magical liquor while belting out stories from their school years and respective Quidditch matches.
Krum in the movies: dumb, brutish, jock, who's perfectly okay with the fact that his school is known for producing eviler wizards, and loves his fame Krum in the books: sweetheart, shows a fair amount of intelligence, hates his fame as much or almost as much as Harry hates his, attracted to girls who don't give him attention who also happen to be hated by the pureblood community (Hermione a muggleborn and Ginny a bloodtratior), and literally almost fights Mr. Lovegood because he associates the deathly hallows symbol with someone as bad/worse than voldemont in terms of blood supremacy
krum in the books was one of my favourite characters, he was so sweet. his whole personality was "oh, your not stealing the love of my life. okay! lets play some quidditch!"
@@brittanylewandowski6200 it's only a 3 year age gap and it's not like krum was purposely trying to date teens younger than him 💀 stop portraying him as a pedophile.
Have you thought about the fact that Viktor Krum cares more about a 14year old girl he just meant a few months ago more than anyone else, this means no friends or family that he cares enough about. For Cedric it was his girlfriend, Harry his best friend (practically brother) and for Fleur her sister, yet Viktor Krum cares more about this girl than anyone he has ever met. Edit: We're forgetting the wizards can apparate so they could have easily gotten Krums parents and all his friends were already at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament
Fortunately Hermione is 15 when they meet since she's almost a year older than Harry so the age gap with Krum is not as creepy xD But yes it would be a bit sad although I think it's not really "the person most dear to you" like the song says, that's just a poetic exaggeration, they just use whoever is available closely. Since Fleur didn't really care about anyone here they had to get her sister but Krum at least genuinely cared about Hermione.
Don't forget how Karkaroff only treats him special because of his skills, and he is 100% aware how people's love only last until he wins games (he's not even good-looking). His entire life is like an illusion made on marketing and fame. He loves Hermione so much because he knows she can see through all this bs. He is also a child talent milked for business and possibly overworked. I always assumed that by how he had to spend so much time on the broom he has problems walking on solid ground, also he can barely socialize with people because that side of him could never develop in a healthy way, exactly a thing very well sheltered and overworked child talents experience. Then again a thing he loves Hermione for, cause Hermione is a very hard-working, talented witch, who has shown difficulties fitting in at a younger age!
As someone who only ever watched the movies Harry and Hermione was a relationship I never got. Like, i had no idea what they were supposed to be, and I dunno if that’s because im stupid or the movies just don’t make it very clear
I always thought he was meant to be written as a "weird" guy. Like almost a creep guy? Just like, Luna in the books is so much weirder than movie Luna, just like how book Malfoy is so much meaner than movie Malfoy
@@Xeyxey0 nah I disagree, I don't think he was ever meant to be a creep, just a famous, awkward teenager who hated that people liked him for his quidditch talent, not him as a person. And I that was what drew him to Hermione, she didn't care about quidditch and she is smart and attractive. In the movie he is just a block of uninteresting stone that Hermione somehow fell for.
I mean, that is the impression that everyone else got of him at first on the books took and then you as the reader get to actually spend some time with him and realize he is just socially inept. It's like the movies stayed on that phase of the character and never bothered to go beyond.
fr, He was kind, loyal, fair... It was a real testament at how good a person was, that the _only_ reason harry coud find to dislike him, and even that not for very long, is because he was able to ask Cho out faster then Harry did. And even after that, you didn't get the feeling he actually _disliked_ Cedric, he was just salty about Cho.
My boy! But for real. Even the most minor characters got properly fleshed out by teams of editors and supportive writers in the books after the third, but the movies went backwards and dumbed them down for screen time and for (very mild girl-power vibes) political purposes.
I don't blame you. The way the movie was setting him up, I thought for sure there'd be a "surprise" twist where he's the bad guy all along. Usually teenage romance drama movies introduce jock whom the protagonist doesn't like just to make him the surprise villain. However, in the books you wouldn't think he's the bad guy because even though he's very popular, he doesn't really seek the popularity.
@@sevenrings9450 I wouldn't say "jock". Harry is more of an everyman personality so anyone can project themselves onto him. He's an underdog but other than that, he doesn't really have a specific personality. He plays sports but that by itself doesn't make him a typical jock. He still gets bullied, has a hard time finding a date to the Yule Ball, and he really tries to get good grades even though he doesn't.
Well Ron took 2 to 3ish more Years to really do that :P One of the most frustrating things in the books because everyone with half a functioning Braincell knew since the second Book that they will love each other but it took waaaaaaaaay too long for them to commit to their Fate :P
In the English books, Ron asks Hermione who that "novel" is for that she is writing. Meaning it was a long letter. In the Dutch books, that was mistranslated as an actual romantic novel, which seemed so cute.
@@ChrysanthemumWine he tells Rita to leave the tent think that's his one line like its " this tent is for champions and friends leave" something like that
The pronouncing of hermione’s name is so accurate lol Just like how dumbledore was pronounced as “dumbly-dore” by beauxbatons Also how they made the schools in the movie a one sex thing kind of annoys me
@@brennathecatlover4360 no, there were beauxbaton boys. First to step out thay pegasus pulled carriage was a boy and the dates harry and ron had ran off to dance with beauxbaton boys
I thought it was supposed to reflect the idiocy of the headmasters of both of the foreign schools: Beauxbatons' headmistress rejected Hagrid out of social norm bull, showing that she only cares about appearances and so brought only the cutest women along Durmstrang's headmaster is basically the representation of different conservative and hate groups in the world most of which treat women as weaker/inferior to men and so brought only men as a show of force.
If you're curious the name wasn't random. Victor Krum (the last name) is named after Khan Krum, one of Bulgaria's greatest leaders, famous for expanding the nation's territories and one of first to apply laws that were strict but just. You've got one heck of a duck there, haha :)
Tbh i adored viktor because he literary just wanted people to like him for him. He was warmed by people interested in him because looks and fame but he wanted a true company
Krum is my baby I love him so much in the book. He's shy, really sweet and is just so happy to have a friend in the books. But also a very very skilled wizard, he was critical in the Battle of Hogwarts and could defend against several death eaters at once.
Honestly I can really see them connecting based on how simular they are in so many ways. I bet he'd be great at helping Harry just be normal for a little while and not force him to talk about horrifyingly traumatic events to satisfy personal curiosity, but when Harry chose to talk, he would listen and give advice to the best of his ability.
They didn't have any time in GoF for side character development. To be fair, I can't imagine how I would have found any, trying to get all that action into two and a half hours. Other than cutting some major events (maybe a task or two.) But you know fans would have complained.
@@harringt100 I mostly agree, but adding a few personality traits like viktor's misprononciation of hermione's name, or other verbal / physical traits doesn't take time away from the movie. For example, quirrel's shaking voice (that definitely not the accurate term, but as a french I have no idea what it is) is a slight character trait carried out from the books, it doesn't tke time away from the movie, but it helps to define the character. Another example is maugrey's eye constantly moving, giving him a crazy appearance
Book Krum is just so sweet and wholesome. Why’d the movies have to do him dirty like that 😭 although I love the part where he gets mad at Rita for coming into the champion’s tent
I liked the fact that in the book krum told a disguised harry that he found ginny attractive. Harry told him she had a boyfriend. Knowing damn well she was single at the moment.
i was always sad about this, i really love the smart, sensible jock type of dude, someone who consciously decided to be better even when there was no incentive for them to be. idk i love the 4th book the most, such good stuff happening.
Awe I absolutely love that you showed the book version of Krum! It’s his true personality and it’s so beautiful to see on screen! Literally tearing up. Harry Potter is where I went to escape and I’d immerse myself into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and all the characters! ❤
I always loved Viktor Krum, I think he is so underrated, just a shy, introverted, misunderstood boy who stood actively against the dark arts despite the reputation of his school and the inclinations of their headmaster. at the end of this scene he even complimented Harry on his flying skills. sad that Harry and him didn't become better friends!
I can honestly see book Harry saying stuff like that which is why I love book Harry so much. The movies really watered down his personality to such an absurd degree.
Viktor Krum was an amazing Character in the Books.. first impression "grumpy Quidditch Star" and the more interactions he had with people the more it was revealed how damn nice and smart he was. And him going after Ginny at the Wedding was the icing on the Cake after he found out she was already taken.. that half joke half serious comment about being a star is worthless because all the good girls are taken :D
In the books Victor is actually so sweet, he spent days going to the library to talk to Haryoniony but couldn’t muster up the courage

@@elliewellie_TH-cam They were both highschoolers at the same time, but I think that only adds to my point. Seniors date Freshmen all the time and it rarely ever ends well. They also didn't attend the same school but that's neither here nor there. I'm not trying to say Krum was sexually abusing her, because you are right, he never made her do anything she didn't want to do and they only kissed once. Yet, it's still weird.
Sexual abuse isn't the only risk with those kind of relationships. Power imbalances are very incredibly bad for mental health and an age difference is probably one of the worst power imbalances. It would be so easy for Hermione to idolize Krum, and even if they had both had pure intentions and hermione was smart and krum was kind it would still be dangerous because of that age difference.
@squidpee I don't disagree that this happens but let's not project things onto kids that aren't happening. They only had a ~3 year age gap and were in the same school. It's a case by case thing where you should look at behavior and not make sweeping generalizations.
@@elliewellie_TH-cam it was a 4 year age gap and when you are a teenager thats a big deal. They are fundementally at different brain development stages. She turned 14 that year. Hes literally old enough to participate in a death competition when shes not but suddenly its okay when he wants to take a 14 year old out on dates and stuff?? It does need generalization because in all cases its weird and also because fiction impacts reality. It may have been okay and wholesome in that case but if a 14 year old girl read the books and got the impression that was okay and got abused because of it thats not okay. Thats the problem, these are books for kids who are impressionable, thats why twilight is so detrimental because normalizing this stuff puts people in danger. Like yes the fault is always the abuser but its negligent at best to allow these kinds of relationships to be romanticized. I dont care that its wholesome or not dangerous in this case; it still can have a negative impact
I really really wanted Hermione to wind up with Viktor. He was such a sweetheart. What can be better than a shy nerdy jock?
UHm Maybe not dating a creepy adult like Krum? You wanted a predator to end up with Hemrione? Gross.
@brittanylewandowski6200 my dear lady hermione was al.ost 15 and krum was 18 3 yrs no big difference alryt?
@@abaraiii The age difference being small doesn't matter if one is an adult and one is a CHILD. Its gross you're defending Pedo.
Exactly! 😭😭
@@brittanylewandowski6200Ever heard of the Romeo and Juliet law?
Krum. One of the most straight forward and decent characters in the books. Self aware, wry and genuinely interested in intellect above fame.

Really would have liked to see Harry and Krum be the type of mates who just like occasionally see each other and when they do they just go all out
I am convinced that was exactly what they did after the books ended.
Probably playing a friendly match of Quidditch, then getting absolutely hammered on some magical liquor while belting out stories from their school years and respective Quidditch matches.

Krum in the movies: dumb, brutish, jock, who's perfectly okay with the fact that his school is known for producing eviler wizards, and loves his fame
Krum in the books: sweetheart, shows a fair amount of intelligence, hates his fame as much or almost as much as Harry hates his, attracted to girls who don't give him attention who also happen to be hated by the pureblood community (Hermione a muggleborn and Ginny a bloodtratior), and literally almost fights Mr. Lovegood because he associates the deathly hallows symbol with someone as bad/worse than voldemont in terms of blood supremacy
And also became such good friends with Fleur (his competitor) that he was invited to her wedding
BRITISH????
@@Ari-yu9it brutish as in a brute/tough guy
@@Ari-yu9it they said "brutish" as in "in a brute like manner"
YES!
krum in the books was one of my favourite characters, he was so sweet. his whole personality was "oh, your not stealing the love of my life. okay! lets play some quidditch!"
He wasn't sweet, he was a creepy adult trying to date a CHILD.
Bro it’s 14 and 17, they’re both teenagers even if Krum is legally an adult
@@suetchingkong1796 Thats some disgusting ass logic. So if some one was nineTEEN it would be ok for them to date some one whose thirTEEN?
@@brittanylewandowski6200he's not a creep.... This is fine , they're not dating.
@@brittanylewandowski6200 it's only a 3 year age gap and it's not like krum was purposely trying to date teens younger than him 💀 stop portraying him as a pedophile.
The Bromance is beautiful
Have you thought about the fact that Viktor Krum cares more about a 14year old girl he just meant a few months ago more than anyone else, this means no friends or family that he cares enough about. For Cedric it was his girlfriend, Harry his best friend (practically brother) and for Fleur her sister, yet Viktor Krum cares more about this girl than anyone he has ever met.
Edit: We're forgetting the wizards can apparate so they could have easily gotten Krums parents and all his friends were already at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament
Don't hurt my heart like that
Fortunately Hermione is 15 when they meet since she's almost a year older than Harry so the age gap with Krum is not as creepy xD But yes it would be a bit sad although I think it's not really "the person most dear to you" like the song says, that's just a poetic exaggeration, they just use whoever is available closely. Since Fleur didn't really care about anyone here they had to get her sister but Krum at least genuinely cared about Hermione.
Don't forget how Karkaroff only treats him special because of his skills, and he is 100% aware how people's love only last until he wins games (he's not even good-looking). His entire life is like an illusion made on marketing and fame. He loves Hermione so much because he knows she can see through all this bs.
He is also a child talent milked for business and possibly overworked. I always assumed that by how he had to spend so much time on the broom he has problems walking on solid ground, also he can barely socialize with people because that side of him could never develop in a healthy way, exactly a thing very well sheltered and overworked child talents experience.
Then again a thing he loves Hermione for, cause Hermione is a very hard-working, talented witch, who has shown difficulties fitting in at a younger age!
@@rea5288 it's like he isn't a human, more a tactic, add, selling point to Karkoff
I mean they got Cho for Cedric, too. So I don't think it's that deep
Platonic with a capital “P” like Steve and Robin!
haha YES I stole that from stranger things 😆👏🏼
Yes
THE REFERENCE! I LOVED IT! i was wondering if anyone else noticed that.
As someone who only ever watched the movies Harry and Hermione was a relationship I never got. Like, i had no idea what they were supposed to be, and I dunno if that’s because im stupid or the movies just don’t make it very clear
@@hyperlink6547 Movies just don't make it clear. Directors were Harmione shippers, yuck.
Thank you! He was so much more than what the movie showed!
He was legit so nice to everyone 😭💗
I always thought he was meant to be written as a "weird" guy. Like almost a creep guy?
Just like, Luna in the books is so much weirder than movie Luna, just like how book Malfoy is so much meaner than movie Malfoy
@@Xeyxey0 nah I disagree, I don't think he was ever meant to be a creep, just a famous, awkward teenager who hated that people liked him for his quidditch talent, not him as a person. And I that was what drew him to Hermione, she didn't care about quidditch and she is smart and attractive. In the movie he is just a block of uninteresting stone that Hermione somehow fell for.
@@Xeyxey0 nah the disrespect towards my favorite character 💀
@@eman83a That is the best description, my dude
"hair-me-onion-yeti" I'm losing it lmaooo 😂😭
I desperately need Mikaila to just do the whole HP reboot correctly and accurate to the books on her own because these videos are so entertaining 😂
Eventually, we'll be able to compile all her clips together and you'll get your wish.
A few more bits to go to get the entire series! 🤣 I think you could probably correct the Goblet of Fire film now though!
I remember that he wrote letters to her after that year was ended. I always thought that he is a really cute person.
We needed a friendly quidditch game with Viktor, Harry, Cedric and Fleur
Maybe the weaslyes joining most of them where in The griffindor Quidditch team at some point
but cedric dies before they can play because they said they'd' do it after the tournament
@@floofiee why would u say that.... imma go cry in a corner
I've always loved that Krum was a big softie on the inside.
Krum was never even rude or disrespectful to Ron witch is just so sweet
"Krum is shy..." 😭😭😭😭😭😭
it's so adorable 😭
He was just an adorable, serious person, and the movie made him "stern silent and scary"
I mean, that is the impression that everyone else got of him at first on the books took and then you as the reader get to actually spend some time with him and realize he is just socially inept. It's like the movies stayed on that phase of the character and never bothered to go beyond.
@@cidevant002because there was no time for them to do it. Every movie as far as I remember was almost 3 hours
I NEED a Victor and Harry friendship and I need it NOW.
🎉cuz ya gotta have friends
Was the case with Cedric Diggory too. I thought he was a villain when watching the movies but he was actually the sweetest guy in the books
fr, He was kind, loyal, fair... It was a real testament at how good a person was, that the _only_ reason harry coud find to dislike him, and even that not for very long, is because he was able to ask Cho out faster then Harry did. And even after that, you didn't get the feeling he actually _disliked_ Cedric, he was just salty about Cho.
My boy! But for real. Even the most minor characters got properly fleshed out by teams of editors and supportive writers in the books after the third, but the movies went backwards and dumbed them down for screen time and for (very mild girl-power vibes) political purposes.
I don't blame you. The way the movie was setting him up, I thought for sure there'd be a "surprise" twist where he's the bad guy all along. Usually teenage romance drama movies introduce jock whom the protagonist doesn't like just to make him the surprise villain. However, in the books you wouldn't think he's the bad guy because even though he's very popular, he doesn't really seek the popularity.
@@hittingyouoverthehead But isn’t Harry also a jock?
@@sevenrings9450 I wouldn't say "jock". Harry is more of an everyman personality so anyone can project themselves onto him. He's an underdog but other than that, he doesn't really have a specific personality. He plays sports but that by itself doesn't make him a typical jock. He still gets bullied, has a hard time finding a date to the Yule Ball, and he really tries to get good grades even though he doesn't.
“Now I know you’re not trying to steal the love of my life”
I don’t but *-RON-* does
Well Ron took 2 to 3ish more Years to really do that :P One of the most frustrating things in the books because everyone with half a functioning Braincell knew since the second Book that they will love each other but it took waaaaaaaaay too long for them to commit to their Fate :P
@@Y0G0FUikr it’s just too much but i shipped them from the first movie
You could totally recreate every single book in the series just like this, every scene, and I would watch every second of it.
Him saying “Love of my life!” Genuinely makes me sad because he never got with Hermione
I know! I def love Ron and Hermione. But I always thought it was sad they didn’t have a chance to be together. I mean they wrote each other for a bit
In the English books, Ron asks Hermione who that "novel" is for that she is writing. Meaning it was a long letter. In the Dutch books, that was mistranslated as an actual romantic novel, which seemed so cute.
@@Widdekuu91do you not have metaphors in dutch? That was the implication in English, too.
Hermione the name is from a love triangle story.
@@mandowarrior123 We do have metaphors, but ´roman´ (romantic novel) would not be the word we'd use.
That would be boekwerk.
I can’t believe in the movie they didn’t add Krum talking about the deathly hollows at bill and fluer’s wedding
does he even talk in the movies at all?
@@ChrysanthemumWine he tells Rita to leave the tent think that's his one line like its " this tent is for champions and friends leave" something like that
@@ChrysanthemumWine yes, but very little
Viktor: Glad to hear you're not trying to steal the love of my life :)
*Ron has entered the chat*
BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW WHOLESOME HARRY WAS IN HIS KRUM INTERACTIONSSS
Ikr it was so cute ☺
The pronouncing of hermione’s name is so accurate lol
Just like how dumbledore was pronounced as “dumbly-dore” by beauxbatons
Also how they made the schools in the movie a one sex thing kind of annoys me
Which is weird cause this is not how a French person would pronounce Dumbledore at all. Not even close.
The girls school was correct both in the movie and book tho
@@brennathecatlover4360 no, there were beauxbaton boys. First to step out thay pegasus pulled carriage was a boy and the dates harry and ron had ran off to dance with beauxbaton boys
@@LilyUnicorn Was that in the book, or the movie?
I thought it was supposed to reflect the idiocy of the headmasters of both of the foreign schools:
Beauxbatons' headmistress rejected Hagrid out of social norm bull, showing that she only cares about appearances and so brought only the cutest women along
Durmstrang's headmaster is basically the representation of different conservative and hate groups in the world most of which treat women as weaker/inferior to men and so brought only men as a show of force.
And krum used to hang out in the library specifically when Hermione was around
I used to have a duck name Krum after him now I have a duck named Hermione
And I just realized my dad says it like how Krum says it-
If you're curious the name wasn't random. Victor Krum (the last name) is named after Khan Krum, one of Bulgaria's greatest leaders, famous for expanding the nation's territories and one of first to apply laws that were strict but just. You've got one heck of a duck there, haha :)
Tbh i adored viktor because he literary just wanted people to like him for him. He was warmed by people interested in him because looks and fame but he wanted a true company
Krum was so sweet. I felt bad for him. I hope he eventually found someone worthy of him.
Krum is my baby I love him so much in the book. He's shy, really sweet and is just so happy to have a friend in the books. But also a very very skilled wizard, he was critical in the Battle of Hogwarts and could defend against several death eaters at once.
He is such a great character in the books and I wish we could have seen him like this in the movies and especially this scene
Viktor really was such an awesome character. I love that he was both intimidated and enchanted by Hermione. One could even say bewitched.
Now i want scenes with Harry and Victor being friends. Understanding the hardships of fame and loving quidditch
Honestly I can really see them connecting based on how simular they are in so many ways. I bet he'd be great at helping Harry just be normal for a little while and not force him to talk about horrifyingly traumatic events to satisfy personal curiosity, but when Harry chose to talk, he would listen and give advice to the best of his ability.
Yeah I’ve always been upset about how they did Viktor in the movies. They game homie the personality of a stale cheeto
That is a good definition
They didn't have any time in GoF for side character development. To be fair, I can't imagine how I would have found any, trying to get all that action into two and a half hours. Other than cutting some major events (maybe a task or two.) But you know fans would have complained.
@@harringt100 Yeah that makes sense. it is a pretty big book to fit into a two hour movie
@@harringt100 I mostly agree, but adding a few personality traits like viktor's misprononciation of hermione's name, or other verbal / physical traits doesn't take time away from the movie. For example, quirrel's shaking voice (that definitely not the accurate term, but as a french I have no idea what it is) is a slight character trait carried out from the books, it doesn't tke time away from the movie, but it helps to define the character. Another example is maugrey's eye constantly moving, giving him a crazy appearance
This comment made me blurt out "oh no!" In the thiccest german accent that my mother-language could muster
Book Krum is just so sweet and wholesome. Why’d the movies have to do him dirty like that 😭 although I love the part where he gets mad at Rita for coming into the champion’s tent
I love that the pronunciation of "Hermione" just gains more syllables every time you say it lol
viktor is honestly so underrated as a character! his demeanor is soooooo adorable!
I liked the fact that in the book krum told a disguised harry that he found ginny attractive. Harry told him she had a boyfriend. Knowing damn well she was single at the moment.
Krum was such a sweetheart in the books, and a great ally to Harry, I will never forget how they downplayed his character in the movies
as a book reader,this is true,omg he’s so precious in them books like 😭😭😭 hermy-own-ninny
i was always sad about this, i really love the smart, sensible jock type of dude, someone who consciously decided to be better even when there was no incentive for them to be. idk i love the 4th book the most, such good stuff happening.
" *Krum is shy...* " Victor need a hug?

@@stellabright1455 why?
Oh my gosh this is the most perfect and wholesome portrayal I’m in love
We need this version in the new show 🥺❤️
The fact that you wear a coat the wrong way just for Krum 💀
That’s gonna sustain my emotional well-being for many days.
Awe I absolutely love that you showed the book version of Krum! It’s his true personality and it’s so beautiful to see on screen! Literally tearing up. Harry Potter is where I went to escape and I’d immerse myself into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and all the characters! ❤
"hair-me-onion-yeti"
😭✨Perfecto✨😭
I always loved Viktor Krum, I think he is so underrated, just a shy, introverted, misunderstood boy who stood actively against the dark arts despite the reputation of his school and the inclinations of their headmaster. at the end of this scene he even complimented Harry on his flying skills. sad that Harry and him didn't become better friends!
plus the actor who played him in the movies was/is so good looking
People talking about mikaila’s acting skills for krum and rightly so, but she also portrays Harry the way I see him
He just needs a hug 🥺
I would love to see Malfoy's face at seeing Krum teaching Harry how to be a better seeker.
Book Krum was my reason why I wanted to let him shine a little in my ff
He is a good guy and I wished he had more screen/book time
Krum is such a lovely character in the books.
The “I’m not even famous for something cool. Just because I didn’t get killed as a baby” and the “holy sh*t yeah I do!!”
😭😂 such a Harry ❤️
I can honestly see book Harry saying stuff like that which is why I love book Harry so much. The movies really watered down his personality to such an absurd degree.
What is most mindblowing about this thing is, that your acting actually makes harry my favourite character🤯
Viktor book is so underrated it hurts my feelings
Krum is also amazing in the spin off series James Potter, I love how often he takes care of Harry's oldest son
At the wedding he gets pissed that everyone has a boyfriend too lol. “What is the point of being international star if every girl taken” or something
I think he said Ginny was beautiful or something, and then Harry said Ginny was taken
Him mispronouncing Hermione’s name differently each time is giving me Inosuke vibes😂❤
Lmaoooo yes 😂
Herm me onion yeti is such a beautiful name, more people should have it
"Krum is shy"
I need to give this man a hug right now-
I love Harry and Viktor’s bro talk about trying to navigate girl confusion and quidditch
he was so wholesome we needed wholesome krum in the movies
I really wanted him to win her heart. It was so cute. ♥️
Viktor Krum was an amazing Character in the Books.. first impression "grumpy Quidditch Star" and the more interactions he had with people the more it was revealed how damn nice and smart he was. And him going after Ginny at the Wedding was the icing on the Cake after he found out she was already taken.. that half joke half serious comment about being a star is worthless because all the good girls are taken :D
And this is why I simp 🥲✋
Honestly Respect
Seriously when I read the book I loved viktor he was such a sweetheart just so cute and shy and i love that he couldn't pronounce Hermione's name
Gosh I loved Krum in the books, he was so sweet and just gosh I loved him
The bromance I never knew I needed 🥺
