Tom Felton Discusses His Friendship With Emma Watson

Tom Felton was asked about his relationship with Emma Watson while out promoting the new Harry Potter shop in New York City. The actor dropped by the new themed venue to see the latest addition to the Harry Potter universe.

During his chat, Tom spoke about his relationship with Emma, stating “We are something, if that makes any sense. We’ve been very close for a long time. I adore her. I think she’s fantastic. Hopefully she returns the compliment.”

He goes on to say, “As far as the romantic side of it, I think that’s a Slytherin/Gryffindor thing rather than a Tom and Emma thing. I absolutely think the world of her. I think to be a part of what we’ve all been a part of, but for her to be the only girl, certainly the youngest one on set, to grow up with what she had to grow up with was incredibly exciting. You’re going to get me teary now, but no, I think she’s a fantastic influence on the world.”

It’s interesting that this is still a question being asked of the cast. It makes sense that they have a close relationship, but does this question need to asked every time a photo of the pair comes out?
