I must say that i, too, see Viktor Krum as a really nice guy who just happened to attend Durmstrang. He's actually quite a star in my fic (not plugging!).

I think that an adolescent who spends so much of his time in the library out of choice has to be very special. He also was the first to see beyond Hermione's exterior, which says something.

On the other hand, he is not quite like Harry. He was affected by the Imperius Curse, hurt the dragon while trying to get the egg, and used an unsuccessful transfiguration in the second task. And, well, he's ugly. <g>

  OK, what do we think of Viktor?  Is he a good guy?  (Well, we know he has 
  great taste in women at any rate!)  Is he, as some have suggested, just 
  downright creepy?

  I ask this because, in a review of my story, "Hermione's 4th Year" (PLUG!), 
  someone said they thought my Viktor was a lot like Harry because he doesn't 
  like being singled out.  This is the impression I get from him in the canon, 
  since he's surly and quiet most of the time.  Maybe he's just more used to his 
  fame than Harry is, but I didn't get the impression that he enjoyed it.

  Thoughts?
