Emma Watson and Tom Felton Just Reunited With Their ‘Harry Potter’ Costars


Holiday parties are usually a good excuse to get all of your friends together, and it seems the Harry Potter cast used the season’s festivities for a little Hogwarts reunion. On Wednesday, December 18, Tom Felton (known to HP fans as Draco Malfoy) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) posted photos on Instagram that showed a few members of the old crew from the beloved film franchise had joined forces for a party—and even reignited old arguments about which house is better.

In the photos Felton poses with Watson, Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), and Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom). He hinted in the caption that there had definitely been some discussion about past rivalries at Hogwarts: “Seasons greetings from my school mates. @mattdavelewis & I mid debate x #gryfindorVSslytherin,” he joked in the post.

Watson added her own little tribute on Instagram, but she was much more diplomatic. She posted one of Felton’s photos in black-and-white and wrote simply, “Merry Christmas from us,” adding a smiley face. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) aren’t in any of the images, but we’re guessing they were with the cast in spirit.

In addition to just being really sweet, the photos have continued fueling some of those Watson-Felton dating rumors. Fans have been begging the two former costars to date after they were spotted hanging out a few times and posting on each other’s social media accounts. Most recently Felton shared an image taken while he was teaching Watson to play guitar and raved that she was a “quick learner.”

The two of them spending part of the holiday together is an interesting development, to be sure, but then again, these friends have known each other since they were kids—maybe they were just feeling nostalgic about their Hogwarts days.

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.

Tom Ford's $58 Liquid Eyeliner Is Absolutely Worth the Money


No hate on Dry January, but why does the New Year have to be all about self-deprivation? After months of spending our time, energy, and money on everyone else, we’re ready to treat ourselves. Welcome to our series To Me, From Me.

I’ve always been a sucker for eyeliner. When I first started wearing makeup, I didn’t get the memo on any other eye products. Mascara? Can’t tell a difference. Eyelash curler? Torture device designed for ants. Eyeshadow? Too complicated.

I got everything I wanted out of eyeliner, like easy definition, a little drama, and a whole lot of look. By high school, my signature makeup was a 10-minute application of the following: emerald-green liquid liner from the inner corners to the center, blue liquid liner from the center to a slight wing, and a healthy sweep of silver glitter liner over both. It looked great with my Catholic school uniform. (In my defense, this was 2004, the same year Britney Spears released Toxic—so, really, I’m just a product of my environment.)

Now, as an adult, I know better. So while I’ll still mess with a cobalt wing, my daily go-to is black liquid liner—specifically, Tom Ford’s Eye Defining Pen. If I ever have to testify for anything, they’d have to swear me into the proceedings with my right hand on this thing. It’s a dual-ended liquid liner; one end has a shorter, finer stroke, like a calligraphy pen, while the other is a longer brush. I use both ends indiscriminately (whichever cap I happen to pop off first) and the result is always good.

First, it deposits so much ink that there’s never any skipping or uneven spots that force you to double up on applications. And the pigment itself dries down to this rich, satin-y black that looks luxurious and won’t budge, even if your eyelids are oily (a real thing, folks). The color is so impactful that with a single sweep, you don’t need any other eye makeup. To be fair: It is high-maintenance, since it’s so pigmented that you have to wait a few seconds for it to dry before blinking. But hey, so am I.

What I used to achieve in three separate liners, I can now get in one. It makes all the difference between looking like I just woke up and looking like I’ve been awake for hours and, in that time, have gone for a run, showered, and enjoyed a breakfast date with my husband, Dev Patel. It makes me look and feel…ready. For the day. For anything.

And the best part? That $58 isn’t going to waste, because this won’t dry out for years. (Years!) I’ve been using the same pen since 2014, and only now is the ink starting to look half-hearted. And when I can’t get any more out of it? No sweat: I’ll put all the money I’m not spending on other makeup towards it. For me, it’s a worthy tradeoff.

The Internet Can't Take This First Look of Tom Hanks Playing Mister Rogers


At the beginning of this year, Twitter rejoiced when Sony announced that Tom Hanks had been cast as Mister Rogers in an upcoming, still untitled biopic about the late television personality. This week, the world’s hearts collectively exploded when the production company released the first photo of Hanks as Rogers.

In the photo, which Sony released via Twitter on Thursday afternoon (September 27), Hanks sits in the doorway of his on-set trailer, smiling at the camera as he holds a book open on his lap. He’s the spitting image of Fred Rogers, thanks not only to his newly gray hair and eyebrows, huge smile, and twinkling blue eyes, but also to his khakis, blue sneakers, and, of course, that iconic red cardigan, zipped up over a light-blue dress shirt and patterned tie.

Twitter users, of course, have a lot of feelings about the pic. Reactions to the shot include a multitude of crying-face emojis, plus plenty of people counting down the days until they get to say that they will, indeed, be Tom Hanks-as-Mister Rogers’s neighbor.

Earlier this year, director Marielle Heller spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the film, which was previously titled You Are My Friend, but is currently untitled and isn’t a typical biopic. “It’s a movie that’s largely focused on a reporter and [Mr. Rogers’s] relationship to his life, and how [the reporter’s] whole world changes when coming in contact with Fred Rogers,” Heller said. That journalist, per EW, is Tom Junod, who was deeply impacted by the time he spent while profiling Rogers for Esquire in 1998. “It’s a story for our times, a story about kindness and family connection and trying to tap into our better self. God knows we need that right now!” Heller added. “In the research for the movie, the writers found that more people than they could possibly count credited Mr. Rogers with changing their lives.”

Fans Are Worried About Tom Hiddleston After Hearing Taylor Swift's Song 'Getaway Car'


One of the most devastating songs on Taylor Swift‘s new album, Reputation, is “Getaway Car.” Not sonically, of course—it’s a total bop—but lyrically: It centers on a woman, presumably Swift, using a new, great guy to essentially get away from her ex-boyfriend. The whirlwind relationship is personified with a “getaway car”; the first few weeks with this guy are blissful and fun, but they eventually run out of gas—and, in hindsight, she views the relationship as a bit impulsive. In other words, this dude’s a rebound, which isn’t the best feeling.

Swift doesn’t drop names on the song, but it didn’t take long for fans to guess who it’s about. Flashback to 2016: Shortly after Swift broke up with her longtime boyfriend Calvin Harris, she started dating Tom Hiddleston—but their relationship ended after just a few months. It’s the only relationship triangle from Swift’s recent personal life that fits the narrative of “Getaway Car”—that we know of, at least. (It’s definitely possible she has this entire private existence we know nothing about.)

So, naturally, everyone’s feeling pretty bad for Hiddleston right now. People on social media have already decided he’s the subject of “Getaway Car”—the rebound—and they’re sending their condolences.

Here are just a few of the, “Awww, poor Tom” posts we found on Twitter:

To be honest, Hiddleston’s probably doing just fine. He’s a hot, very successful movie star with a British accent. That’s the dream.

That being said, though, this recent photo of him holding a puppy and looking sad isn’t helping his case. Homeboy needs to throw on his Loki costume and post a goofy video to Instagram just to show people he’s not shook over this song.

Taylor Swift's 'Reputation': All the Kimye, Joe Alwyn, Calvin Harris, and Tom Hiddleston References


It’s finally here, people: Taylor Swift‘s sixth studio album, Reputation. And it was well worth the wait because the record is good, plain and simple—a delectable collection of techno-heavy bops with poignant, petty, and wildly romantic lyrics. Like all Swift albums, though, fans will most likely care more about the words to these songs than the sonics.

So that’s where we come in: We went ahead and scoured Swift’s new album for all the Joe Alwyn, Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, and Kimye references—and there are a ton of ’em. Swift isn’t playing games this time around, and we love her for it. Dig in.

“Delicate”: This song is one of many odes to Alwyn on this album. She references his blue eyes (“Damn, never seen that color blue”), the women in England (“Do the girls back home touch you like I do?”), and the brevity of their relationship (“Is it too soon to do this yet?”).

“Dress”: “Flashback to when you met me / Your buzz cut / And my hair bleached,” Swift reveals toward the end of this song. Alwyn had a buzzcut while filming Billy Lynn’s Halftime Walk, and Swift had bleached-blond hair for the first half of 2016. The “gold tattoo” reference could also be a nod to Alwyn’s golden blond hair.

“Don’t Blame Me”: There’s no specific references, but this entire song discusses how Swift’s “drug” is her “baby,” so it’s obvious who this is about.

“King of My Heart”: The “king” in this song is not American, because Swift says she’s his “American queen.” She also says this king “fancies” her, which is a British term. And we don’t have to remind you that Alwyn is British.

“Gorgeous”: “Gorgeous” is perhaps the most obvious tribute to Alwyn on the record. It includes lines explicitly referring to his accent (“I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk”) and his eyes (“Ocean blue eyes”).

“…Ready for It?”: Our money’s on this being yet another Alwyn song. The man on this track is “younger than her exes” (Alwyn is 26), and she references an “island.” (The U.K., where Alwyn lives, is an island.) Also, the concept of “games” comes up in this song, which might be a wink to Alwyn’s movie Billy Lynn’s Halftime Walk.

“New Year’s Day”: There’s no direct references here, but it’s a very mushy, sweet love song—who do think is the subject?

“End Game”: Similar to “Ready for It,” the “game” reference here is a possible hat-tip to Billy Lynn’s Halftime Walk.

“So It Goes…”: Swift says, “I’ll wear you like a necklace” on this tune, possibly referring to the “J” pendant she’s been spotted wearing at the Reputation secret sessions (and at her best friend Abigail’s wedding). Also, she talks about how she and this guy have done “numbers” on each other; Swift used numbers in the “…Ready for It?” video to reference herself (1989) and Alwyn (1991, his birth date).

“Call It What You Want”: The most obvious Alwyn reference on this tune is, “I want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck,” which references the “J” pendant mentioned in “So It Goes…” However, “My baby’s fit like a daydream / Walking with his head down” could also be a shout-out to Billy Lynn’s Halftime Walk.

“Dancing With Our Hands Tied”: Swift references a locket on this song, and Harris infamously gave Swift a locket when they were dating. She also mentions she was 25 at the start of this relationship, which is how old she was when she started dating Harris.

“I Did Something Bad”: “If he drops my name, then I owe him nothing,” Swift sings on this tune, which might be a reference to Harris’ Twitter tirade against her after the “This Is What You Came For” drama exploded. (Remember: Swift was a secret contributor to the song, but all hell broke loose when she confirmed her participation in it.) Harris has also gone on the record several times about Swift and their relationship. Other lyrics from this song that point to Harris: “If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing” and “If he spends my change, then he had it coming.” (Because Harris is listed as the artist and producer on “This Is What You Came For,” he’ll receive more money for the song than Swift, even though she contributed to it.) Also, the title of the song, “I Did Something Bad,” is damning, since Harris said in July 2016 it was hurtful Swift’s team was going out of their way to make him “look bad.”

“Don’t Blame Me”: Swift talks about toying with “older guys” on this song. Harris is 33.

“End Game”: “I’ve got some big enemies,” she sings. That’s sort of self-explanatory.

“Gorgeous”: “I’ve got a boyfriend / He’s older than us / He’s in the club doing I don’t know what.” Harris, Swift’s ex-boyfriend, is a DJ (and presumably always in clubs)…and he’s older.

“Call It What You Want”: “All the liars are calling me one,” Swift sings here. It’s not far-fetched to think this is yet another mention of the “This Is What You Came For” falling out.

“Getaway Car”: “The ties were black / the lies were white,” Swift says at the top of this song, which could be a reference to the Met Gala, the star-studded, black-tie event where she and Hiddleston first got together. The “getaway car” here might personify Swift’s relationship with Hiddleston, which she presumably jumped into to end her time with Harris. “There were sirens in the beat of your heart,” Swift also a notes—a reference to that “I Heart T. Swift” shirt, perhaps? Another obvious jab: “With three of us, honey, it’s a sideshow”—the Swift, Harris, and Hiddleston love triangle was popular tabloid fodder in the summer of 2016.

“Don’t Blame Me”: Same as Harris. Hiddleston is 36—another “older guy” Swift “toyed” with.

“I Did Something Bad”: “They’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one / They got their pitchforks and proof / Their receipts and reasons,” Swift laments toward the end of this song—a clear nod to when Kim Kardashian posted a conversation between West and Swift to Snapchat about the song “Famous.” Kardashian asserted the conversation proved Swift consented to the “that bitch” line on “Famous,” but Swift said it didn’t.

“This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”: “It was so nice being friends again / There I was giving you a second chance” could possibly be referring to the fact Swift and West briefly made up in 2015 (she presented him with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at that year’s MTV Video Music Awards). She also clearly nods to the infamous phone call she and West had here: “Friends don’t try to trick you / Get you on the phone and mind-twist you.” And her lyric, “Here’s a toast to my real friends” mirrors this line in West’s song, “Runaway”: “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags.” It’s also plausible that Swift references West and Jay Z’s falling out when she sings, “I’m not the only friend you’ve lost lately / If only you weren’t so shady.”

“End Game”: Similar to Harris, the “I’ve got some big enemies” line could be about West and Kardashian.

“Look What You Made Me Do”: “Don’t like your tilted stage,” Swift quips here, which is assumed to be a dig at West’s Life of Pablo Tour, where he had a tilted stage. Plus, she sings about how the “old Taylor” can’t come to the “phone”—and West and Swift’s infamous feud is about the contents of a phone call.

“Call It What You Want”: “All the liars are calling me one / All the drama queens taking swings / All the jokers dressing up as kings,” Swift notes here. Swift contests what Kimye said about the Snapchat-leaked phone call isn’t true—this lyric could be a reference to that.
