The Bulgarian boy that was picked for the role of Viktor Krum in the fourth blockbuster Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire finally spoke to the press, it appeared on Wednesday.
Bulgaria-born Stanislav Yanevski, living and studying in London, dark and appealing as Quidditch star Viktor Krum, shared his experience as a neophyte actor to a reporter from the Philippine Daily Inquirer. On my first few days, we did the maze scenes. In the very first scene, I had to fight with Cedric. I remember my heart pumping because it was the first time that I was in front of the cameras, the charming teenager said.
When ask whether he sees himself as a potential heartbreaker, the Bulgarian said laughing, "I'm more of a heart pleaser."
Yanevski's personality was veiled in mystery until January when his face was finally shown to the public. He turned out to be the favourite choice of director Michael Newell. Back then the public was informed only of the name of the winner but his face was hidden from all fans and journalists.
Last year Bulgaria was obsessed with the Potter mania after it was reported that a Bulgarian boy is wanted for the role of Viktor Krum. The special casting organized in Sofia attracted great interest with over 600 kids trying their luck.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's popular Harry Potter novel series. It will be released in November 2005. Its Bulgarian premiere has been scheduled for December 2005.
