Harry Potter stars melt fans’ hearts, turn the rumor mill with Instagram post
By Ariba Bhuvad
Emma Watson and Tom Felton: Harry Potter costars, friends, legends and objects of parasocial fascination. While there’s never been official confirmation, some fans have long wondered if the pair were more than friends, hard as it is to imagine Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy being anything but bitter enemies.
It doesn’t help that both Emma Watson and Tom Felton post cute pictures and videos of themselves hanging out together on social media. The rumor mill turns easily. A new Instagram post Felton showing him teaching Watson how to play the guitar has it spinning wildly:
“My dramione wishes has been granted,” one commenter wrote. “Hell yeah FELTSON,” wrote another — the shipping names are out in force. But before people jump to conclusions, ET Online reports that the two are just close mates and nothing more.
But hey, that’s not going to stop us Potterheads for willing the romance of our dreams into existence. After all, Emma Watson did harbor a major crush on Felton as a kid, something she revealed back in 2012 during an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show:
"Between the ages of 10 and 12 I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton. 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 do tricks on it. He was so cool. He totally knew [I had a crush]. And the thing is, he’d turn and go, ‘Oh, I see her in a younger sisterly way.’ And it just broke my heart, still does."
Mind you, this is an interview from seven years ago, but it should be all the fans need.
