It has been years since United Nations ambassadress for gender equality Emma Watson took on the role of the bookish Hermione Granger, who was one of Harry Potter's most loyal friends.

But even after all these years, people still look back fondly on her being Hermione, as well as the good relationship she has established with co-stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy).

Wet Paint has actually compiled some of the sweetest things Watson ever said about her co-stars, which showed just how caring and supportive the actress truly is towards the people she has worked with for almost a decade (there were eight Harry Potter movies in total).

"They've become like brothers," she said. "I can laugh and talk about everything with them without any taboo."

When Radcliffe said that he simply lucked out when he nabbed the role of Harry Potter, Watson disagreed and told him, "Dan, you didn't 'get lucky.' You were and are the perfect Harry and will be forever."

As for Grint, who played her best friend-turned-husband Ron, Watson lauded him for his comedic genius. "Rupert's a great comedic actor, so we had a really good time wringing the humor out of everything we could," she said.

Even though Hermione loathed Slytherin seeker Draco Malfo, in real life Watson actually had a huge crush on the actor who played him - Tom Felton. The feelings weren't reciprocated given their age difference, but Watson showed that she's a true class act since she did not harbour any ill will against Felton and instead established a good rapport with him.

"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," she said.

Watson is not lacking for any admirers now, but the actress is currently too busy working on different movies such as Disney's next live action film "Beauty and the Beast," where she will breathe life to another character who is in love with books - Belle.

She will be starring in the movie alongside "Downton Abbey" alum Dan Stevens, who will play her love interest Beast. "The Hobbit" actor Luke Evans will be playing the movie villain Gaston while the actor who voiced Olaf in "Frozen" Josh Gad will play his sidekick Le Fou.

Watson even said that she will be brushing up on her singing skills since the movie, unlike "Cinderella" will be a musical.
