Watson: 'I lusted after Tom Felton'

Rex Features

Emma Watson has admitted that she had a crush on co-star Tom Felton when she landed the role of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,

The 19-year-old actress, who apparently moved in with her 26-year-old boyfriend recently, said that it was Felton she had her eye on rather than co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.

On US TV show Live with Regis and Kelly, Watson said: "I confess that I had a bit of a crush on Tom Felton when I was younger, in the earlier films." When asked if 21-year-old Tom, who plays villain wizard Draco Malfoy, was aware of her affections, the actress said: "Oh yeah, it was so obvious."

Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, recently told FHM magazine: "Emma's a pretty girl. Have Daniel or I ever hit on Emma? Well, she's quite popular with the cast. As for who has the worst crush on her - me or Radcliffe - I'd rather not say."
