Just to toss another thought into the arena, has anyone thought of the possibility that Krum might transfer to Hogwarts?

I don't think we've seen any transfer students yet, but there's got to be that possibility right?  Clearly Krum isn't particularly fond of Karkaroff and Durmstrang, and prefers Hogwarts even if you discount his interest in Hermione.  I don't remember off hand if he was a 6th year or 7th.  He might have a year of schooling left.

So what if Krum transfers to Hogwarts and gets sorted into Gryffindor?  Might he not be named Quidditch captain due to his international experience, and might he not make himself Seeker?

Or might the dark influences, the Durmstrang influence, cause Krum to be sorted into Slytherin where Harry has to compete directly against him?

Just some ide thoughts.

me:

That would be an interesting situation - however I don't think it is possible.  In GoF (page 77 - Bloomsbury edition) - Ron is talking about Krum being on the Bulgarian National team.

"He's really young, too.  Only just eighteen or something."

Then on pg 219 when the Hogwart students are awaiting their guests - Durmstrang appears and among the students is Victor Krum.  Ron reacts to Hermione stating that Krum is "only a quidditch player".

"Only a Quidditch player?" "Hermione - he's one of the best Seekers in the world!  I had no idea he was still at school."

There may be more references to his age, but I can't think where they are at the moment.  Does anyone else know of any other references to pin down Krum's exact age or school status.  I don't recall any reference made as to where the visiting schools are taking their classes, so there is no clue there.
