Tom Felton has addressed Emma Watson dating rumours, and also opened up about his equation with other Harry Potter cast members, such as Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.

Days after his Harry Potter co-star Evanna Lynch teased that he and Emma Watson were crushing on each other on set, Tom Felton has addressed the long-running rumours about a possible romantic relationship with Emma Watson.

He told ET Online, We are something, if that makes any sense. We've been very close for a long time. I adore her. I think she's fantastic. Hopefully she returns the compliment.

As far as the romantic side of it, I think that's a Slytherin/Gryffindor thing rather than a Tom and Emma thing, he added. I absolutely think the world of her. I think to be a part of what we've all been a part of, but for her to be the only girl, certainly the youngest one on set, to grow up with what she had to grow up with was incredibly exciting. You're going to get me teary now, but no, I think she's a fantastic influence on the world.

He also spoke about his equation with other cast members, such as Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry, and Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley. We do stay in touch, quite frequently... It is nice that we're in sort of four different corners of the earth and yet when we catch up, it feels like yesterday that this was all going on, he said.
