  • In the introduction to Tom's new memoir, Emma talked about her friendship with him.

  • She said that she and her costar have one of the purest loves.

  • She wrote that they were soulmates and had each other's backs. I know we will.

"Harry Potter" costar Tom Felton wrote a book about growing up a wizard, and one of his co-stars wrote a letter to him.

Do you know who that person is in your life? The book was written byWatson. Someone who is a witness to all that happens? What is happening to you without anyone having to say anything? The person I think is that person is Tom Felton.

The "Harry Potter" films were based on a fantasy-book series written by J.K.Rowling.

There were times when the two actors were not close friends.

She said she was a moony and annoying 9-year-old girl who followed him round like a puppy.

The overarching theme of the "Harry Potter" franchise is friendship, and she's so thankful that Tom has been there to reassure and understand her.

She wrote that she had been able to move through some of the most challenging and soul-searching moments in her life because of the friendship they shared.

"Harry Potter" actor Tom Felton has a heart the size of a planet and is far more authentic than the character he plays, according to "Harry Potter" actress Emma Thompson.

He may have been playing a bully. Maybe he felt like a bully. She said that he could not be further from one. He is sensitive and creative. He is a person who loves everybody.

People have been talking about a romance between the two "Harry Potter" actors for a long time. The actors have spoken about their love for each other, but they have said that their relationship is platonic.

In the "Harry Potter" 20th-anniversary reunion special, which was released on HBO Max in January, Watson said that there had never been a romantic relationship with them. We adore each other. I have nothing to say about that.

The comments were shared in the book.

She wrote that she struggles to explain to people the nature of their relationship. I have lost count of the times people have said to me, "You must have drunkenly made out, just once!" You must have kissed me. There must be something.

The "Little Women" star said what they have is much deeper than that. I can't think of a better love. We've always had each other's back. I'm sure we will. I think about it a lot.

As a friend, he assumes the best intentions.

She said that even though he doesn't have the whole picture, he will never doubt that she's coming from a good place. To be seen and loved like that is one of the greatest gifts of my life.

The world is fortunate to have you, but I am even luckier to have you as a friend.

At the "HP" auditioning, Felton met a person for the first time. They didn't get along immediately after landing their roles in the franchise.

Lisa Tomblin, the hair designer for "HP", was the first person to know of the crush on him. At the time, the two boys were 15 and 12.

"I've always had a secret love for Emma, though not perhaps in the way that people would want to hear it," he said. There has been a spark between us. Only at different times has it happened.

He became very defensive of her, whenever she needed defending, because she had a different experience in the spotlight.

There were rumors that there was more to our relationship than we had been led to believe. I didn't like her that way but the truth was different. At the time, my girlfriend knew that there was a secret between us.

"I used to say 'I love her like a sister' when I was younger," Felton said. There was more to it than that. I didn't think I was ever in love with Emma, but I loved her and admired her so much that I could never explain to anyone else.
