Background

Krum was a Seeker for the Bulgarian Quidditch team. In the 1994 Quidditch World Cup title game between Bulgaria and Ireland, he caught the Snitch and ended the match, which handed victory to Ireland because Bulgaria was trailing by 160 points at the time. He was considered a prodigy by many, having entered the International Quidditch League at an early age. Despite his success and fame, or perhaps because of it, Krum appeared to be unhappy and lonely, and was further characterized as being very quiet and reserved, though Hermione Granger said he was a genuinely nice person beneath the sullen exterior.

Krum was named Durmstrang champion upon entering his name for the prestigious Triwizard Tournament. He was often viewed with suspicion by his peers due to Durmstrang's reputation for teaching the Dark Arts, while looked upon with admiration for his feats, mainly by giggling Hogwarts girls. His wand was made of hornbeam with a dragon heartstring core, and was ten and one-quarter inches in length. Mr. Ollivander pronounced it "a Gregorovitch creation," and "rather thicker than one usually sees ... quite rigid."

Whilst competing the Triwizard Tournament, he took to visiting the Hogwarts library often to watch Hermione, who later revealed that he told her "...he'd been coming up to the library every day to try and talk to me, but he hadn't been able to pluck up the courage!" Krum had to rescue Hermione from the merpeople in the Great Lake for the Second Task. His relationship with Hermione, and taking her to the Yule Ball, provoked jealousy from Ron Weasley, who was, ironically, a fan of Krum's from his Quidditch days. The ever-annoying journalist Rita Skeeter, looking for revenge on Hermione, fabricated a story for Witch Weekly, claiming she was toying with both Krum and Harry's affections. Harry became sick of telling people that Hermione wasn't his girlfriend and, when questioned, he told Krum, "We're friends. She's not my girlfriend and she never has been. It's just that Skeeter woman making things up." Krum's parents were seen in the chapter "The Third Task" in Goblet of Fire; Krum was described as having inherited his mother's dark hair and his father's large nose.

Krum did not appear in the fifth book, but Hermione wrote at least one long letter to him that year, showing that they maintained contact (much to Ron's surprise). She turned down Krum's invitation to visit him at the end of term, preferring instead to spend the upcoming summer with the Weasleys. Ron seemed very happy that Hermione chose to stay with him instead of Krum. This means that Hermione returns Ron's strong romantic feelings instead of Krum's.

Ginny Weasley mentioned in passing in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that Hermione and Krum had once kissed, although this is unknown. Ron then asked Harry if this was true. Harry believed she had, but didn't want to tell Ron, who nonetheless "gather[ed] the worst from the look on Harry's face." Ron was so jealous, he got back at her by dating Lavender Brown.

Krum briefly returned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as a wedding guest of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. He talks to a disguised Harry about the lack of available women before having a heated discussion with Xenophilius Lovegood. He recognized a symbol that Xenophilius wore around his neck as the mark of Grindelwald, which is engraved into a wall at Durmstrang; the symbol is later discovered to actually be the mark of the Deathly Hallows. Krum doesn't seem to mind when Ron asks Hermione to dance at the wedding, and comments, to Harry's annoyance, on Ginny's attractiveness. “HP7” redirects here. ...
