Emma Watson Fidanzato Tom Felton

Shared some special moments between the cast in advance. While discussing their time on set together, Emma Watson shared her memory of “falling in love” with her co-star Tom Felton. At the time that they were cast as Hermione and Draco, Watson was 11-years-old and Felton was 14, so she was doomed to be seen as the “little sister.”

“I walked into the room where we were having tutoring, ” Watson said. “The assignment that had been given was to draw what you thought God looked like, and Tom had drawn a girl with a backward cap on a skateboard.”

She continued, “And I just don't know how to say it – I just fell in love with him. I used to come in every day and look for his number on the call sheet, it was number seven, and if his name was on the call sheet, it was an extra exciting day. He was three years above me and so for him he was like, ‘You're like my little sister.’”

Most of the cast was subjected to dating rumors over the many years it took to film all eight Harry Potter movies, but Watson insists her crush was never reciprocated—though Felton says he knew all about it.

“I think I was in the hair and make-up chair and someone said something along the lines of, ‘Yeah, she had a crush on you, ’” he said during the reunion interview. “I became very protective over her. Yeah, I've always had a soft spot for her and that continues to this day. There's always been something that's like, I don't know, a kinship.”

“For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush. He totally knows, ” she told

And although they never dated, Emma delved a little deeper into the details of their sweet relationship in a foreword for Tom’s new memoir,

In the short introduction of the book — which hit shelves on October 18 — the actress shared that Tom has “a heart the size of a planet” and that for two decades, they’ve “loved each other in a special way.” At one point, she refered to him as her “soulmate.”

“As you’ll read in this book, our relationship didn’t start well, ” Emma began. “When we first met, I was a moony and probably rather annoying nine-year-old girl who followed him round like a puppy, desperate for his attention. But, as he has written so eloquently, beautifully and generously in this book, our friendship didn’t end there. Thank goodness it blossomed and endured.”

“Like Tom, I always struggle to explain to people the nature of our connection and relationship. For more than twenty years now we’ve loved each other in a special way, ” she continued. “It’s one of the purest loves I can think of. We’re soulmates, and we’ve always had each other’s backs. I know we always will. It makes me emotional to think about it.”

Emma adds that they share a “true” friendship and “to be seen and loved like that is one of the great gifts of my life.”

Later in the memoir, Tom himself revealed that he had a “secret love” for Emma, but “not perhaps in the way that people might want to hear, ” according to excerpts published in

“That isn’t to say that there’s never been a spark between us. There most definitely has, only at different times, ” he wrote. “Rumours started to abound that there was more to our relationship than we were letting on. I denied that I liked her in that way, but the truth was different.”

“My girlfriend at the time knew straight away that there was something unspoken between us. I remember using the familiar old line, ‘I love her like a sister.’ But there was more to it than that, ” Tom continued. “I don’t think I was ever in love with Emma, but I loved and admired her as a person in a way that I could never explain to anybody else… We were kindred spirits. I know for certain I’ll always have Emma’s back and she’ll always have mine too.”

“None of us had that pact. There was chemistry, but no one acted on it as far as I know, ” Tom revealed to the outlet.

“Emma and I have always been very dear to each other, ” he added. “But it didn’t start that way. She was nine when we first met and I was 12, and I think I was a bit of a cocky teenager going on 25. But we’ve been dear friends all our lives, and she was very encouraging for me, actually, to continue writing these stories down to make them into a book.”
