Hi:

<<<>If it's possible in the wizard world, and Krum still has another
year of school, might he
transfer to Hogwarts to be closer to Hermione?>>

He couldn't have another year of school left unless Durmstrang has
a longer program than Hogwarts. He was 17 & old enough to be school
champion. This means, in my mind, that he is *done* with school.

<<<If there's anyone I want to get a true crush on Fleur, it's Harry... I
think he's wasting his time mooning over Cho.>>>

She would never go for a "little boy" like Harry. Nah -- she's got her
eye on Bill Weasley. As for Harry, he's resisted Fleur so far, and I
don't see that changing. And, the older woman/younger boy thing wouldn't
work too well at that age (in *most* cases -- <g>). She'll be 18/19 in
the next book. Doubtful she'd have any interest in a 15 yr old boy. IMO.

Then again, I must be in the minority but I don't imagine either Fleur
or Krum will figure all that much in the next book(s). I think they were
characters we'll hear about from time to time -- in passing. However,
Fleur stands a better chance of being more prominent than Krum since
there is some intimation that she might become a professor at Hogwarts.

As for Cho -- said it before -- no way is he going to still have a crush
on her. Entirely too much tragedy & very un-Harry for him to even think
about pursuing her. She's his Ms. Wrong in any case.

For the people who think there's a possibility of a Harry/Cho romance
-- I'm just sincerely curious. Assuming she was interested, how do you
figure he'd *ever* get past the guilt over Cedric's death enough to have a
healthy relationship with her? I just see that as such an insurmountable
obstacle to their relationship (and I strongly believe JKR wasn't lying
to her readers when she said their first crushes/dates would all be the
"wrong" people).
