Hi Rachel,

The canon doesn't explicitly say what year Krum is in at 
Durmstrang.  However, in GoF his description is as follows:  "Viktor 
Krum was thin, dark, and sallow-skinned, with a large curved nose 
and thick black eyebrows.  He looked like an overgrown bird of 
prey.  It was hard to believe he was only eighteen." p103 GoF, US 
hardcover.

In light of this fact, it seems unlikely that Krum will be at 
Hogwarts next year as a student.  Of course, he could be there under 
some other pretext.  It will be interesting to find out whether or 
not Hermione has gone to visit him over the summer ;-).
