Emma Watson And Stanislav Ianevski

It's very possible that the unsung romantic hero of the Harry Potter books was none other than Viktor Krum, the seemingly surly student from Durmstrang who juggled his academic studies with a professional Quidditch career

For Hermione Granger, and though she and Ron Weasley ultimately ended up together, it's hard to not want to root for Krumione just a little bit.

We mean, he was chivalrous! He clearly cared a lot about her, so much so that the mermaids tapped her as the most important thing in his life. Did he stalk her in the library? A little bit, but we're just saying, if J.K. Rowling wanted to follow her gut and not end the series with Ron and Hermione together — no matter how satisfying that kiss in

He says the director of the movie, David Yates, invented a new story that wasn’t in the books, a love triangle between Viktor Krum, Hermione, and Ron. But that was cut out of the film because it obviously didn’t fit with all the horrible things that happen in the last book. We did a new dance scene, I sort of stole [Hermione] from Ron. She remembered our old times, Viktor was acting like a gentleman again, happy to see her. She was happy to see him. Ron was sitting on the side, was jealous, and then Viktor took her to the dance floor.” Sounds like classic Weasley moping to us.

But we mean, think about it: would you chose a world champion athlete or your comic-relief best friend? (It's a hard choice to make, we know.) Stanislav is a total Krumione shipper, though: “I don’t know how far they could go. If the story from the seventh [film] that David Yates invented extended itself then maybe they would’ve gotten into a fight with Ron, and Viktor would obviously win and then live happily on forever with Hermione.”

Make it into the movie — namely the Yule Ball that served as Hermione and Krum's first major couple moment in both the books and the screen. The duo did enjoy it, he said. It was obviously difficult for them to understand each other; he wouldn’t really understand much. He would just sit and watch her, sort of observe and protect. Maybe he was — being the world’s best Quidditch Seeker, obviously he has a big ego, so he would defend loved ones.”

We shouldn't be surprised he'd use the L-word about Viktor and Hermione. After all, Dumbledore says that's the most powerful magic around.
