Emma Watson, best known for her stellar performance as Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” film series, recently opened up about the challenging scenes she had to shoot for the final film, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.”
In the scene, Watson’s character shares a passionate kiss with Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint. However, the long-awaited kiss was uncomfortable for the two actors as they felt like siblings after working together since they were 11 years old.
During an interview with Jonathan Ross in 2012, Watson, 32, revealed that the kiss was “the most horrible thing” she had ever done. Clarifying his statement, he added, per Daily Mail, “It’s not that Rupert isn’t beautiful, and there are millions of girls out there who would probably cut off their left hand to kiss him, but it just feels like an incest. That’s the only way I can describe it.”
However, Watson shared that she managed to get through the uncomfortable scene by closing her eyes, allowing her to momentarily forget who she was kissing.

During HBO’s highly anticipated reunion show, “Return To Hogwarts,” Watson and Grint reminisced about their famous on-screen kiss, revealing their feelings about the scene haven’t changed.
Watson recounted that the experience of kissing Grint was “the most horrible thing we’ve ever been through” and that it “felt wrong” because of the sibling-like relationship between her, Grint, and their co-star Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the titular character, Harry Potter.
Radcliffe, who was also present for the reunion special, recalled being a bit of a distraction during filming, saying, “I didn’t make it any better because I was told very clearly that I was just being crazy about this. and was like, ‘I’m going to come on set and watch you kiss. I’m sorry about that, guys.”
According to Watson, the entire cast was excited about the scene, saying, “Everybody wanted to be on set for it.”

The Return To Hogwarts special, which airs in 2022 on HBO Max, Sky, and NOW TV, brings together the “Harry Potter” cast and crew twenty years after the first of the eight films premiered. The show’s reunion offers fans a nostalgic trip down memory lane, with lead actors Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint sharing anecdotes from their time working on the wizarding franchise.
Other beloved cast members, including Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), and Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas) also make appearances sharing their own behind-the-scenes stories and memories from the set.
However, franchise creator JK Rowling was absent from the heartwarming celebration and only appeared via archive footage. His absence is likely due to his controversial views on transgender issues, which caused a stir on social media earlier that year.

During the real reunion, the actors shared stories of their experiences on set. The now-adult actor feels as if “no time has passed, but so much time has passed.”
Reflecting on their life outside of the franchise, Grint humorously commented on his recent health issues and the birth of his son with Georgia Groome, stating, “I had gallstones and a baby, so I feel my age.”
Meanwhile, Watson recalled when she “fell in love” with Felton with the cast during a tutoring session between shoots. Recalling that memory, Watson shared, “I went into the room where we were having the tutorial. The assignment was to draw what you think God looks like, and Tom had drawn a girl with a backwards hat on a skateboard.”
According to recent reports, a “Harry Potter” TV series with a new cast is underway on HBO Max. The announcement of the upcoming show has divided fans of the beloved franchise, as many believe it won’t be able to live up to the original.
So far, there is not much information about the production and the cast of the new series.
