Rupert Grint told Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith that there “were some sparks” between Emma Watson and Tom Felton while they were filming “Harry Potter.”
Speaking ahead of his new AppleTV+ thriller series “The Servant,” the Ron Weasley star said: “There was always something [between them].
“There was a little bit of a spark.”
He stipulated that he didn’t wish to fan rumors about their romance now, though. “We were kids,” he said. “It was like any kind of playground romance.”
Grant said that he himself did not have a similar connection with any fellow cast members: "I was spark-free."
In recent months, fans have been begging for "Dramione" (Draco and Hermione) to couple up after Felton shared images on Instagram of him and Watson hanging out in South Africa in August.
Watson previously acknowledged having a crush on Felton while they filmed the "Harry Potter" movie series.
"Between the ages of 10 and 12, I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton," she told British TV's "The Jonathan Ross Show" in 2012.
"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."
It seems the feelings weren't reciprocated at the time, however: "He totally knew [I had a crush]. And the thing is, he'd turn and go, 'Oh, I see her in a younger sisterly way.' And it just broke my heart, still does."
Felton later said that he was very flattered by Watson's crush but that nothing of a romantic nature ever happened between them - "Sorry to disappoint," he told E! News in 2016.
