It’s the “Slytherin-Gryffindor thing” that has kept fans swooning for over twenty years.
While Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were busy trading hexes at Hogwarts, actors Emma Watson and Tom Felton were busy building one of the most enduring—and viral—friendships in Hollywood.
From red carpet debuts in to cozy guitar lessons caught on camera, the pair has consistently sparked “Dramione” rumors on TikTok and Instagram, proving that the magic didn’t stop when the cameras stopped rolling.
The buzz reached a fever pitch during HBO Max’s Harry Potter th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special, where Watson, , made a confession that melted hearts across the internet. She admitted she used to look for Felton’s name on the call sheet every single day during filming.
“It was number seven,” Watson recalled with a smile. “If his name was on the call sheet, it was an extra-exciting day.”
The crush was mutual, in a protective sort of way. Felton, , revealed he always felt a “kinship” with his costar. “I became very protective over her,” he said during the special. “I’ve always had a soft spot for her and that continues to this day.”
Even fellow “Golden Trio” member Rupert Grint noticed the chemistry. In , the actor who played Ron Weasley admitted there was a “spark” between the two on set. “It was like any kind of playground romance,” Grint told Entertainment Tonight.
Fans have lived for the duo’s “mini-reunions” over the years. In , Watson sent the internet into a tailspin when she shared photos of the pair hanging out at the beach and riding a skateboard together.
The speculation only grew in when Felton posted a photo of himself teaching Watson how to play the guitar while they were both in pajamas. However, Felton has been quick to clarify that their bond is deeper than just a tabloid headline.
“We are something, if that makes any sense,” Felton told ET in . “As far as the romantic side of it, I think that’s a Slytherin-Gryffindor thing rather than a Tom and Emma thing.”
Watson echoed those sentiments, noting that while they “love each other,” nothing romantic has ever officially happened. Instead, they’ve settled into a beautiful, lifelong friendship that involves Christmas parties with costars and supportive check-ins.
As Felton told the Daily Mail, “She’s an incredibly smart and lovely young lady… it’s always nice to slightly reminisce about old times but also about looking forward to the future.”
Whether they are “school mates” or something more, one thing is for sure: this magical bond is definitely “Always.”

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.
