Viktor Krum

When you think of Bulgaria you think some weird country, but when I think of Bulgaria I think of they very hot seeker, Viktor Krum.
"There's no one like Krum! He's like a bird the way he rides the wind! He's more than an athlete... he's an artist." -Ron Weasley (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).

Viktor attended the Durmstrang Institute. He also plays Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team. He also participated in the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts alongside with Fleur, Cedric, and Harry. There never was no real winner due to the fact that Cedric was murdered by Lord Voldemort so he went back to Bulgaria but also went to Bill and Fleur's wedding. He is regarded as one of the best Quidditch players. He played while still in school. Even though his team lost in the finals against the Irish he is still the best out there. While at Hogwarts he began to grow fond of Hermione Granger later asking her to the Yule Ball and saving her during the second Triwizard Tournament task in the lake.
Hermione: "How did she know Viktor asked me to visit him over the summer?... Madam Pomfrey gave us both blankets and then he sort of pulled me away from the judges so they wouldn't hear, and he said, if I wasn't doing anything over the summer, would I like to —"
Ron: "And what did you say?"
Hermione: "And he did say he'd never felt the same way about anyone else..."
— Viktor's invitation for Hermione to spend the summer with him
After the tournament he gave a private goodbye to Hermione, gave Ron his autograph and gave his sympathy to Harry about Cedric's death.
"Vot is the point of being an international Quidditch player if all the good-looking girls are taken?"
—Viktor Krum to Harry Potter
Although Hermione was invited to Bulgaria she never went but still remained good friends with Viktor. Hermione then became interested in Ron leaving Viktor to go back home and find love in his own native country.
