“I’m sorry guys, it’s not happening”: Why Did Daniel Radcliffe Never Date Emma Watson While Filming Harry Potter?
The decade-long Harry Potter film series is so deeply embedded in every Potterhead’s brain that all they do is think Potter and breathe Potter. The character of Harry Potter was brought to life by Daniel Radcliffe. Not just Radcliffe, but the other stars of the movie also made our childhood memorable. The most memorable bond of the film was between Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson.
Radcliffe and Watson shared a special friendship in the movie. Like in the movie, the two share a good friendship in real life as well. The chemistry of their friendship was so intense that the fans wished there could be a thing between the two. But to everyone’s dismay, Radcliffe said that there was no chance of a romantic relationship between him and Watson.
Why did Daniel Radcliffe deny dating Emma Watson?
Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson first met on the sets of the film Harry Potter, and ever since then, they have been best friends. Radcliffe and Watson’s friendship was so strong that it was always reflected in their characters of Harry and Hermione, as they became a linchpin of the film series. Radcliffe and Watson’s bond was always admired by the fans. All the Potterheads would have fallen head over heels if the pair had ever dated. But to the fans’ disappointment, there was no such thing in either of their minds.
During an interview with Esquire magazine, the Harry Potter alum shared that he shared a sibling-like bond with Watson. Knowing that fans somewhere want to see them as a couple, Radcliffe asserted that the thought of dating Watson felt unethical. The 33-year-old actor said,
“We know it’d be everything the fans ever wanted. I’m sorry guys, it’s not happening. It’s just not. There’s something really incestuous about the idea of it.”
Rather than dating, the pair gave dating advice to each other. All the while, the two have been together through the thick and thin of life. Indeed, the bond Radcliffe and Watson shared was no less than a sibling bond.
