Accio tissues! Nearly years after the world first met Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, Emma Watson and Tom Felton are proving that their real-life bond is stronger than any magic spell.
The Harry Potter costars have sent the internet into a total meltdown after Watson, , shared a series of sweet throwbacks from a beach day with Felton, . The reunion wasn’t just for fun, though—Emma was every bit the supportive bestie, celebrating Tom’s upcoming series, Origin.
“Tom’s @OriginSeries is out on th November. Congrats dear friend,” Watson tweeted alongside a sun-drenched selfie of the pair smiling wide for the camera.
While the photo was enough to get Potterheads buzzing on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, the real “magic” happened in a follow-up video that quickly went viral.
In the clip, the duo is seen sharing a single skateboard as they zip down a boardwalk. Watson hilariously poked fun at her own athleticism with the hashtag TFToleratingmysubparskatingskillssince.
As they speed along, Felton—ever the “cool” older brother figure—can be heard playfully teasing Watson’s balance. “Easy with the wobbling, keep your feet still!” Felton jokes while filming the ride.
“They are!” Watson laughs from behind him, clearly having the time of her life.
“You’re not! You’re dancing around on the board like a clown,” Felton responds with a grin. “Hang on tight.”
For many fans, the sight of Watson clinging to Felton’s waist on a skateboard is the ultimate wish fulfillment. In a interview with Jonathan Ross, Watson famously admitted that she had a massive crush on her costar during the early days of filming.
“Between the ages of and , I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton,” she confessed 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. He used to do tricks on it. He was so cool.”
Seeing the two come full circle—with Felton still showing off those “cool” skating skills two decades later—has fans across TikTok and X calling them “friendship goals.”
While their characters may have been rivals at Hogwarts, it’s clear these two are “Always” going to be there for each other in the Muggle world.

Unexpected Team-Up: Prince William and Emma Watson Unite for Change
Prince William had plenty to celebrate this weekend, but his latest public appearance quickly turned heads for a very different reason. After marking his 44th birthday and Father's Day with his family, the future king returned to royal duties—and made a surprisingly personal confession about the emotional toll of climate change.
William joined Hollywood stars Emma Watson and Benedict Cumberbatch at a United for Wildlife forum in London, an initiative he launched with the Royal Foundation in 2013. The organization works around the world to combat wildlife trafficking, environmental crime, and the destruction of endangered species.
But it was William's candid admission about his own fears that stole the spotlight.
The Prince of Wales revealed that climate change has caused him "sleepless nights," admitting he has struggled with anxiety about what the future could look like. Yet instead of allowing those fears to overwhelm him, William said seeing real progress through conservation efforts has helped keep his environmental anxiety under control.
He also delivered a powerful message to business leaders, urging them to become the kind of leaders they admired when they were children. With technology and innovation transforming the world at an incredible pace, William challenged CEOs to use their influence to create meaningful change.
The event launched London Climate Action Week, with more royal appearances expected, including the Earthshot Prize assembly.
Emma Watson also delivered a surprising revelation of her own. The Harry Potter star highlighted the fashion industry's enormous environmental impact, pointing out that it produces more emissions than aviation and ranks behind only oil among major polluting industries.
Watson, who is also pursuing a doctorate in philosophy at Oxford, shared a hilarious story about mistakenly believing paparazzi were following her. After spotting photographers with telephoto lenses, she arranged a distraction and escaped through another exit. The twist? They weren't photographing her at all. They were waiting to capture a red kite.
Meanwhile, Benedict Cumberbatch praised William as "a great guy" and urged businesses and individuals to recognize that they can still make a difference, even when global environmental challenges appear overwhelming.
With William, Watson, and Cumberbatch joining forces on the issue, the London forum delivered a clear message: the fight against environmental destruction is becoming impossible for the world's biggest names to ignore.
