Whether you were a fan of the original JK Rowling books or were born way after the movies made their debut, the film franchise seems to have captured the imagination of people of all ages and, still to this day, has a place in many people’s hearts.
Given that the tales of Harry Potter took place in the classrooms of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, many of the cast have grown up in the spotlight, meaning that they’ve undergone some pretty dramatic transformations over the years. And one of those is actor Stanislav Yanevski who played Viktor Krum in 2005’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
During his time on our screens, Stanislav’s character caught the eye of Hermione Granger and whisked her off to the ball after impressing her with his Quidditch skills.These days, Stanislav, now 38, looks very different and has an extremely athletic physique which is covered with an array of tattoos across his arms and chest. In his career, he has still continued to act and Stanislav has appeared in films including Resistance, The 11th Grade and Last Man Down.
On the small screen he has starred in shows such as Undercover and Sofia Residents in Excess. Over on social media, Stanislav has amassed an incredible following and often shares snaps from his travels from around the world, workout sessions and hiking challenges with his 230,000 Instagram followers.
