Reasons I think the HP fandom should talk about Viktor Krum more:
He was an internationally famous Quidditch player but showed like zero signs of being a conceited ass about it.
He was an internationally famous Quidditch player but was still in school, showing he probably still valued his education, plus he was a good enough wizard to be chosen as the Durmstrang champion by the goblet of fire.
He was an internationally famous Quidditch player with lots of fangirls, but hung around the library for ages trying to work up the courage to ask Hermione Granger to the Yule Ball, and I think that’s adorable.
He didn’t behave like an asshole dudebro when Hermione wasn’t interested in dating him.
Hermione was also used as the person he would miss the most in the second task, and I think that says less about Hermione than the people around Viktor Krum. We know he had parents. We know he had teammates. But none of those relationships were apparently more healthy or comforting than this nice girl he had just met at Hogwarts, and that makes me sad.
He had zero patience for Dark Arts and Dark wizards, even though he went to a school that emphasized both of those things.
He stayed on good enough terms with Fleur that he was invited to her wedding.
His problem solving method once included partially turning himself into a shark. A shark.
