Long before Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger became one of Harry Potter fandom’s most shipped pairings, there was a real childhood crush behind the scenes. Emma Watson admitted on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2012 that between the ages of 10 and 12, she had feelings for her co-star Tom Felton, who was a few years older than her at the time. “We love a bad guy, and he was a few years older and he had a skateboard, and that just did it really,” Watson said. “He used to do tricks on it. He was so cool.” Felton reportedly knew about the crush at the time, telling her he saw her in a “younger sisterly way” instead. The two have remained close friends since the franchise ended, regularly reuniting and fueling “Dramione” shipping rumors that have followed them for over a decade.
