Emma Watson and Tom Felton Hung Out, and Now Fans Are Begging Them to Date
Here’s a bit of Harry Potter excitement we didn’t see coming: Emma Watson and Tom Felton, better known to fans as Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, had a mini-reunion over some music wizardry. Felton gave fans a look at his friendship with Watson this week by posting a shot to Instagram of him teaching her guitar.
“Quick learner,” Felton wrote in the caption. The picture seems to have been taken when the two actors were in South Africa.
It’s not the first time Watson and Felton have spent quality time together since the Harry Potter franchise ended. Back in November, Watson shared a black and white video of the two of them riding a skateboard together and laughing hysterically. In the clip, Felton jokes that she’s “dancing around on the board like a clown” and tells her to “hang on tight.” The cute video immediately sparked rumors that these two might be dating.
And now the same thing is happening with this guitar video. Just look at some of these fan tweets:
Part of the reason that Draco and Hermoine fans are so obsessed with a potential relationship has to do with something Emma Watson said herself. In 2012, she admitted she had a crush on Felton when she was a kid. “Between the ages of 10 and 12, I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton,” she said 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 do tricks on it. He was so cool.”
Well, he still has a skateboard (and a guitar), so maybe there’s hope for this Griffyindor-Slytherin union, after all. And if not, at least we have those eight glorious Harry Potter films.
