Tom meanwhile has made a name for himself in television, most recently appearing as Julian Albert in The Flash.

Speaking to Jonathan Ross in 2012, Emma admitted she had a huge crush on co-star Tom during filming for the Harry Potter franchise.

'Between the ages of ten and twelve I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton, to the extent that I would go into work in the morning and look down the numbers on the call sheet to see if he was going to be in,' Emma explained. 

We love a bad guy, he was a few years older and he had a skateboard - and that just did it really.'

'He totally knew [she had a crush on him] and the thing is that he'd tell everyone, 'I see her in a younger, sisterly way,' and it just broke my heart. It still does.'
