Er Emma Watson On Tom Felton Sammen

Stans know that franchise stars Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) are super close IRL, and as young actors on set, Emma crushed super hard on Tom. 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.”

Following the release of Tom’s book, and the details of his and Emma’s friendship within, some might wonder if the two ever made a formal agreement to keep their relationship platonic. But according to an interview with

“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.”

Between the ages of 10 and 12 I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton, she gushed on The Jonathan Ross Show. We love a bad guy, and he was a few years older and he had a skateboard and that just did it really. He used to like, do tricks on it ... He was so cool. He totally knew. And the thing is, he'd turn and go, 'Oh, I see her in like, a younger sisterly way.' And it just broke my heart, still does. When Ross joked that Draco Malfoy broke Hermione Granger's heart, Watson replied, He really did! It was gutting, really.
