Heres a random Harry Potter fact for you

Did you know that Krum was techniqually a Pedophile? In the wizarding world, you become a legal adult when you turn 17, which Krum was. During the Triwizard Tournament, Krum grew feelings for and even kissed Hermione, who was 14. And during Bill and Fleur's wedding, he showed interest in Ginny, who was 16.

Yeah, maybe Ron was right about Krum being too old.

@MangoCheeseRavenclawGarrowsonShadeslayer It was Half-Blood Prince

HE IS A LITERAL PEDO! I never liked him, he was creepy (clearly) and had a nasty attitude because he was famous (even though Harry was there) and i tell you Hermione and Ginny were probably not the only younger girls that he was trying to go out with if you think about how many girls were at Hogwarts, plus Beauxbaton girls there

@HarryPotteractive I thought so, thanks for confirming

@MangoCheeseRavenclawGarrowsonShadeslayer Thank you! (And yes, it was the half-blood prince. I checked, it was Ginny who said it.)

Yes, Krum was too old for Hermione, and that is disgusting that he kissed her when he was 18 and she was 15, so that technically does make him a pedophile.

But if Ron was going to confront anyone, he should've just yelled at Krum instead of downright emotionally abusing Hermione. Because it's the adult that should know better, and Krum didn't seem to care about Hermione's age at all, it's possible he knew that she was 15.

Hermione however, only saw Krum as a friend, she was never in love with him, so the romance was one-sided. An even bigger reason that Ron shouldn't have belittled her.

I give up, people are just going to keep using the term pedophile incorrectly. Willful ignorance, I shouldn't really be surprised, most people are dumb.

And the worst thing is that people actually ship it!

Krum was attracted Hermoine when she was 15 but I don't think that he was a pedo since its exact meaning is: a person who is sexually attracted to children. And when it means "children" I think it meant a non-pubescent person either way, the love relationship was gross no doubt about that.

Also, there's nothing wrong with Bill and Fleur's relationship nor with Tonks and Lupin's the age gap is fine. They didn't marry when they were in their teens. Its completely normal, my parents have an age gap and their happily married.

The legal age of majority in Scotland being 16.
