Rupert Grint: Kissing Emma Watson For ‘Harry Potter’ Was ‘Surreal’

Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are one of the most beloved couples in literature and fans of the "Harry Potter" series were overjoyed when the characters finally got together in the final book. Actor Rupert Grint, who played Ron, opened up about filming the important kissing scene with co-star Emma Watson, who played Hermione in all eight films.

"I never look back at that scene," Grint said at Universal Orlando's three-day Celebration of "Harry Potter." "I've known Emma since she was literally 9 years old and we had this very brother-sister relationship. And it just felt very surreal. I have a memory of her face getting closer and closer. Like, 'Oh my God.' I can't really remember anything apart from that."

When asked if he would do anything differently for the famous kissing scene, the actor replied, "One take was enough. It was such a huge moment and there was so much expectation. Quite a lot of pressure actually," according to People

At the same event, Rupert revealed that he recently visited the set of the "Harry Potter" spinoff film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

"I'm incredibly excited about seeing it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Eddie Redmayne brings to the character and to the series," Grint told reporters, according to Pop Sugar. "I think they made a huge mistake not casting me. It's amazing that it's living on, and I can't wait to see it."
