Rupert Grint Confirms There 'Was Always Something' Between 'Harry Potter' Co-Stars Emma Watson & Tom Felton

Rupert Grint, like many Harry Potter fans, felt the connection between Emma Watson and Tom Felton!

In a new interview, the 31-year-old actor spoke about his Harry Potter co-stars, who frequently fueled romance rumors despite never being a couple.

“There was always something,” Rupert shared with ET.

“There was a little bit of a spark.”

“But we were kids. It was like any kind of playground romance. I didn’t have any sparks. I was spark-free,” he went on to say.

Tom also recently opened up about Emma‘s label of “self-partnered” before praising his friend more.

“I like [the term self-partnered]! It’s the first I’ve heard of it, but it’s great. I’m in the same category to be honest with you, quite happily self-partnered,” Tom said. “I think in this day and age it’s not a necessity to be with someone just for the sake of being with someone, so I like the idea of self-partnering. I think you need to love yourself before you can love anyone else, so that’s a start.”

He added of Emma, “It’s always nice to bump into her, see her at the beach, or over dinner, or whatever. She’s an incredibly smart and lovely young lady, so it’s always nice to bump into each other and slightly reminisce about old times but also about looking forward to the future.”

Just recently, Tom taught Emma how to play a little guitar in a new Instagram.
