Viktor Krum -- was the person in charge of casting blind?

[themostepotente]

I can recall reading that hundreds of Bulgarian boys tried out for the part of Viktor Krum. After seeing the guy they chose, I'm thinking they need to do another casting call. This dude looks NOTHING like Rowling's description of Krum.

I just reread GoF's Yule Ball chapter for the Ron/Viktor story I did so his description is fresh in my mind. He's supposed to a.) be skinny, b.) have a hooked nose, and c.) be Snape pale. In fact, his description is very Snape-ish period, and yet he's got a shaved head and looks bulky. Shouldn't a Seeker be lightweight having to catch the snitch and all? So yeah, the movie hasn't started yet, and already I'm disappointed. What does everyone else think? Cedric looks tasty, so I don't know why Viktor has to be such a bowl of wrongness.

That's my Viktor Krum iconised (thanks to marksykins). Sebastien anyone? *G*

Really? I thought Clémence Poésy (the Fleur girl) was from France?

So did I... I thought they were only casting British (and European) actors. They made a huge deal about it. *is confused now*

IMDB says she's French, so I think all is well.

Yeah, she's from France. It even says so on imdb.
