 Rumors on the Internet of a Scottish actor being cast as Viktor Krum  were halted when it was announced that, as originally planned by the  producers, a Bulgarian would in fact play the part. Perhaps these  rumors arose because the Bulgarian was discovered in England and not  in Sofia, where there was a casting call for the part of the  International Quidditch Champion. Stanislav Ianevski (qv), a  Bulgarian student living in London, has been cast in the role.
