Emma Watson Had 'Huge' Crush on Tom Felton

Hungry gossip hounds don't usually get much from Emma Watson, but here's a story that'll get their tails wagging! The lovely Brit is gracing the cover of Seventeen magazine's August issue, and right next to her pretty face is a headline that promises real-deal inside dirt on which "Harry Potter" co-star she's been secretly pining for. SECRET HARRY POTTER ROMANCE, YOU GUYS! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMFG! OMFG! OMFG! akgsfjugaeiufOMG! asdljhfglahdsOMFG! jadhfsjuh....oke enough!

...Oh, except that the so-called "secret crush" isn't exactly recent news. Or even a secret. Like, at all.

"For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it. We still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that's cool."

That was a mean tease, Seventeen. Where's the scandal? The drama? The dirty, sexy details about which young witches and wizards were sneaking away from Hogwarts to touch each other's wands, if you get our meaning and WE THINK YOU DO?!

Well, anyway. Much as we'd love to hear all the sordid stories about young stars in Potterlove, we know better than to expect them from Emma. She's never been one to play coy with the press—or, per her own admission, with anyone else.

"I’m a terrible game player," she said. "I’m so impatient—it’s one of my worst traits! If I want to see someone, I want to see them, and if I don’t, then I don’t. My friends are always telling me I have to play hard to get because I’ll pretty much say to a guy, 'I like you—let’s go hang out.' But my friends are like, 'You can’t do that! You have to string this guy along.' And I’m just like, 'No! I won’t! I just want to go on the date!' It’s a nightmare—I definitely haven’t figured it out yet.”

Oh, Emma. Please don't figure that out! We love your cluelessness! And hopefully, this means that whenever our favorite Muggleborn does find herself in a serious relationship, we'll get to hear about it in the same adorably matter-of-fact way.

• Looks like Draco Malfoy cast a love spell on Hermione Granger! Emma Watson, 21, tells Seventeen magazine about her not-so-secret Harry Potter crush in its August issue. The final installment of the beloved franchise hits theaters July 15, wrapping up a 10-year run.
