Harry Potter
fans
could not ask for better.
Emma Watson had published on her Instagram account, on December 18, 2019, a photo in which she posed alongside other actors of the famous saga.
Namely, Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Bonnie Wright (Ginnie Weasley) and Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom).
"Merry Christmas from us :)", could we read in the caption of the post.
Three years later, on January 1, 2022, we were able to find the film crew for the special program celebrating the 20 years of the saga, entitled "Harry Potter back to Hogwarts" and
broadcast in France on the Salto platform
.
On this occasion, Emma Watson saw her former partner on screen, Tom Felton.
"A charming young woman"
The one who played the very sneaky character of Draco Malfoy in
Harry Potter
had notably praised in the columns of the
Daily Mail
, Monday, November 18, 2019, Emma Watson's speech on celibacy. The actress had indeed declared "happy to be alone" at the beginning of November 2019. "I call it being" self-partner "," she added. A speech that had visibly seduced his ex-partner on the screen.
“I love that expression! he was enthusiastic. It's the first time I've heard it, but it's great. I'm in the same category to be honest, quite happy to be a self-partner. ” Asked about his relationship with Emma Watson, Tom Felton was full of praise for the 31-year-old actress: "She's an incredibly intelligent and charming young woman, so it's always nice to meet her and remember a little about the past, but also to talk about the future, ”he confided.
The 34-year-old actor also unveiled, on August 20, 2019, an unprecedented snapshot on his Instagram account.
In the said photograph, taken in South Africa, the young man could be seen giving a guitar lesson to his former playing partner, Emma Watson.
Dressed in pajamas, the famous wizards seemed focused on the musical instrument.
"She learns quickly", could we read in the caption of the cliché.
We expected no less from the studious Hermione Granger.
In video, "Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts", the trailer
"I was terribly in love with Tom Felton"
If this shot had delighted many Internet users on Instagram, it had also raised some questions. And for good reason: this proximity does not date from yesterday. In the past, Emma Watson would indeed not have been insensitive to the charismatic Slytherin. “Between 10 and 12 years old, I was terribly in love with Tom Felton, she confided to the
Mirror
, in 2012. So much so that when I arrived on the set in the morning, I looked at the numbers on the service sheets to see if he would be there. We love all bad boys. He was a little older and he had a skateboard, that was enough. ”
A crush on which the actress returned during this special show.
She remembered a class she attended when she was younger, with Tom Felton.
“We were asked to draw what we think God looked like,” she recalled.
Tom had drawn a girl with a cap upside down, perched on a skateboard.
That's when I fell in love with him, ”she explained.
“Tom was the person I could be vulnerable with,” she said, referring to the vagaries of stardom.
The actress also clarified that nothing had ever happened between her and the actor.
“We just love each other, that's all I can say,” she concluded.
Good friends
If there was previously some ambiguity, the two actors are now friends and claim it on social networks.
In April 2018, Tom Felton posed alongside his "classmates" from
Harry Potter
, Emma Waston and Matthew Lewis, as he says in the caption.
The actress had, for her part, shared a snapshot with the British musician on said social network in November 2018 by defining him, in legend, as her "dear friend".

Not to mention that the two actors would already have flirtations each on their own.
The British actress has been in a relationship since 2020 with Leo Alexander Robinton, a 30-year-old Californian entrepreneur.
As for Tom Felton, he was seen in the arms of a “mysterious blonde” in August 2018, in Los Angeles, as reported by the
Daily Mail
.
The romance between Emma Watson and Tom Felton would therefore be purely fictitious.
The most disappointed fans will always be able to console themselves with the hashtag "Dramione" (
fusion of the names of the characters of Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger, Editor's note
) which has been blooming for a long time on social networks.
