Viktor Krum From Harry Potter Looks Like a Real-Life Khal Drogo Now

It’s been five years since the last Harry Potter film, but we can’t stop poring over where our favorite stars are now (it helps that some of them magically transfigured into major hotties). The same goes for those who have been longer off the radar, such as Stanislav Yanevski, who only appeared in 2005’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Goblet of Fire featured Yanevski as Bulgarian student and athlete Viktor Krum, who competed in the Quidditch World Cup and against Harry in the Triwizard Tournament. Perhaps most famously, and to the ire of her future husband Ron Weasley, Krum took Hermione Granger to the Yule Ball on her first date.

So what has Yanevski been up to for the past decade? He’s appeared in a handful of films, but catching up with the actor on social media reveals that he has spent a lot of time growing out his hair, getting tattoos, and liberally using hashtags to document his journey toward looking like a real-life Khal Drogo.

Yanevski still acts sporadically, but both his Wikipedia page and Instagram bio acknowledge that he is likely best known for his brief stint as a Bulgarian wizard.

In the books, Viktor Krum is described as gruff and looking like “an overgrown bird of prey,” but as an aloof star Quidditch player, he attracts the giggly attention of plenty of Hogwarts girls in his year abroad. And e may not have gotten the girl or the cup, but we’ll always remember Krum as a solid guy, and Yanevski as a brooding bad boy who grows a great beard.
