Here’s How Tom Felton Feels About Being Emma Watson’s First Crush

Ever wish Hermione and Malfoy dated? Well, so did Emma Watson.

“For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton,” She admitted to Seventeen in 2011. “He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it—we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that’s cool.”


The only thing cuter would be if Tom’s feelings were mutual… and luckily, we weren’t the only ones wondering about that. At the premiere of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood, Yahoo asked Tom if he felt the same way.

“Er, uh, um, no,” he said while allegedly fidgeting nervously. He then apologized for “being a bit aloof” with his answers. We’re going to take his nervous response as a firm YES, because we’ll hear what we want to believe.

What do you think, collegiettes? Is he telling the truth, or were Hermoine and Draco the couple that should have been?
