Emma Watson on Tom Felton

The Harry Potter film franchise introduced us to an entirely new generation of actors and actresses. Among them are Emma Watson and Tom Felton. While the two often argued onscreen, an entirely different story was playing out behind the scenes. In 2011, during an interview with Seventeen magazine, Watson bravely admitted that Felton was her very first crush. Funnily enough, now that they’re all grown up, the two are able to talk and laugh about it casually.

We can imagine how distracting that must have been for the then-young actress, having to work with someone she was completely smitten with. While no romantic feelings ever bloomed between them, the two did find good friends and each other. If you ask us, that’s the best kind of investment any two people can make. It’s one that can last a lifetime, after all!
