This has sent Harry Potter fans into a craze as many are wondering if the two could be on the fast track to beginning a romantic relationship.
One user initially posed the question, “Are Tom Felton and Emma Watsonโฆ dating???”

I *think* theyโre just super close friends, definitely have been for years. Theyโd be super cute together if itโs more than that though

This began a storm of speculation of what could be if a Slytherin and a Gryfinndor member got together.
“Well that’s a bigger twist than almost anything in the books!,” another user responded.

This, though, isn’t the first time the former castmates shared photos of themselves together.
Going back to 2018, Watson posted a picture of the two riding a long board together. There was also a photo she sent out in February that was captioned, “Friends capture you the best.” Felton was the one who took the photo.
The two starred in all eight of the Harry Potter movies in the series. In the films, Watson’s character was best friends with Harry and Ron Weasley, who was played by Rupert Grint. Felton’s character was in an opposing house and served as a thorn in Harry’s side throughout the series.
However, it looks as though Watson and Felton aren’t letting their differing Harry Potter roles get in the way of their friendship… or relationship?
