I did feel like a bit of a dick, and rightly so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following a conversation with one of the women from the hair and makeup department, the actor said he apologized to Watson. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I <em>did<\/em> apologize and Emma accepted my apology,&#8221; Felton recalled. Everybody moved on. It was just a stupid, teenage act of thoughtlessness, the sort of thing that happens every day. So why does that moment stick in my memory? Why is it so painful for me to recall?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The answer, I think, is that I&#8217;ve grown to understand with the passing of the years that of all of us, Emma had the most to deal with, the most difficult situation to negotiate, and from the earliest age,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure image-figure-image   \" data-type=\"img\" data-e2e-name=\"image-figure-image\" data-media-container=\"image\">\n<div class=\"lazy-holder \" style=\"padding-top: calc(100% * 1202 \/ 1602)\">\n<p>                        <img xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"lazy-image \" encoding=\"UTF-8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" data-content-type=\"image\/png\" srcs=\"{&quot;https:\/\/i.insider.com\/634d83976bd527001914f259&quot;:{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;aspectRatioW&quot;:1602,&quot;aspectRatioH&quot;:1202}}\" alt=\"Emma Watson and Tom Felton &quot;Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.&quot;\"\/>\n                      <\/div>\n<p>                        <span class=\"image-source-caption undefined\"><figcaption class=\"image-caption headline-bold\" data-e2e-name=\"image-caption\">\n<p>                                Emma Watson and Tom Felton in &#8220;Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.&#8221;<br \/>\n                              <\/figcaption><span class=\"image-source headline-regular\" data-e2e-name=\"image-source\"><\/p>\n<p>                        Warner Bros.<\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/span><br \/>\n                        <\/figure>\n<p>Felton said that &#8220;Harry Potter and the Sorcerer&#8217;s Stone,&#8221; released in 2001, marked Watson&#8217;s first time on a film set and she was the only female lead, surrounded by &#8220;boy humor.&#8221;  When the franchise&#8217;s exploded, she suddenly became pushed into the spotlight and subjected to a different kind of scrutiny than her male costars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And the pressures she experienced went further than just having to deal with stupid boys,&#8221; he continued.  &#8220;Emma was never afforded a normal childhood. She was in many ways treated like an adult from the day she was cast. It&#8217;s a phenomenon that can, I think, be more difficult for girls than for boys. They are unfairly sexualized in the media and beyond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Felton went on to say that &#8220;the last thing she needed, in an environment that should have been \u2014 and normally was \u2014 safe and friendly and familial, was Josh and me laughing at her dance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why I feel ashamed by the memory of our behavior,&#8221; he said.  &#8220;And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m glad that our friendship did not founder on the rocks of my insensitivity, but it became something deeper. A touchstone for both of our lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Felton recalled being insensitive toward &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; costar Emma Watson early in the franchise. &#8220;There was a definite Gryffindor\/Slytherin divide in the early days,&#8221; Felton wrote in his memoir.
