Tom Felton is spilling some tea about the Potterverse.
The 31-year-old actor recently participated in AOL’s “Fact or Fan Fic” alongside his Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the franchise.
During the conversation, the topic of Hogwarts romance came up and Tom (jokingly) confirmed the fan fic dreams of Harry/Draco shippers by saying he thinks Harry was “clearly” in love with his character, Draco Malfoy.
“I think it was clearly a fact,” Tom joked. “Harry was constantly crushing on Draco. He just couldn’t hide it.”
Rupert took things a step further, joking that Ron was also crushing on Draco.
“I think he made quite an impression on Ron as well,” he added.
Bad news for Draco/Hermione shippers though. Tom shot that pairing down.
“I think that’s a fan-fic,” he said. “In fact, I feel like I’ve seen some fan fics along that line. What is it with Draco and matching him up with various Gryffindors?”

Tom Felton wants the Harry Potter franchise to keep getting bigger!
The 31-year-old actor opened up not doing remakes, but rather expanding the wizarding world with Fantastic Beasts and more.
“If we were redoing the first ones then you may say, that’s enough, but they’re not repeating anything they haven’t done before so I think it’s only serving audience demand. That’s not going anywhere so they have full license to do so,” he said
“I think they should expand the world as far and wide as possible. The theme park and the studio tour in London. I think it’s very inspiring, all the people doing things off the back of something Potter related,” Tom added.
Tom Felton and Rupert Grint would be down for a Harry Potter reboot!
The two stars of the franchise of course starred as Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley.

“Absolutely. I say I’ll do it for free but [laughs]…yeah, I’d love to,” Tom told EW.
“I’d be up for that…it’d be a nice kind of bit of closure,†Rupert added.
Tom and Rupert even admitted they would be up to reprise their characters if there was a film version made of the stage show Harry Potter and The Cursed Child.
