Rupert Grint admits 'spark' between Harry Potter co-stars Emma Watson and Tom Felton
They've been the subject of dating rumours!
The early Noughties were pretty much entirely consumed by the Harry Potter novel series, as well as the film adaptations starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
As Ron and Hermione end up together (er... Spoiler alert?), fans were always looking for any hint of romance between the two actors who played them... But actually it turns out that whilst there were apparently sparks from Emma's side, it wasn't towards Rupert - but Tom Felton, who played nemesis Draco Malfoy.
After dating rumours began to circulate about the pair a few weeks ago, Rupert has given his two pence worth, admitting that he did feel "sparks" between the pair whilst they were all filming the movies together.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Rupert said that he didn't want to stir up any rumours... But when asked if he could ever see Emma and Tom together, said, "Yeah I could. There was always something. There was a little bit of a spark," before adding, "But we were kids. It was like any kind of playground romance."

Rupert's comments come after Tom posted a photo of himself and Emma seemingly in their pyjamas, with Tom teaching her how to play the guitar. He wrote, 'Quick learner x.'
Of course, Potterheads flocked to the comments with hopeful excitement. One joined up their characters' names, writing, 'Dramione ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍', as another added, 'This bring back my memories how crazy I am into Dramione and Feltson❤️.'
After Emma recently coined the term 'self-partnered', Tom gushed over his friend, "I’m in the same category, to be honest with you, quite happily self-partnered," adding to MailOnline, "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."
