Bulgaria Gripped by Potter Fever
Apparently the producers of the
Harry Potter film series have decided that they want to find a genuine Bulgarian to play the part of Viktor Krum in the fourth movie,
Goblet of Fire. Ananova
has the details:
JK Rowling put Bulgaria at centre stage of the fourth book after being inspired by the country's fourth place in the 1994 World Cup. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, magicians from all over the world take part in the Quidditch World Cup, and Krum leads the Bulgarians.
I applaud Rowling's decision: I spent a week in Bulgaria two years ago, and it's an amazing place. I remember seeing copies of
Goblet of Fire translated into Bulgarian being offered for sale everywhere when I was there. Anyway, it looks like every teenager in the country is trying out for the part. Good luck to them.
