Emma Watson and Rupert Grint: "Kissing Is Awkward"

Finally. The moment we have been waiting years to see will grace the big screen in only a matter of days. The Ron- Hermione relationship has only recently surfaced in the sixth installation of the Potter series--Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but the tension and attraction has been building since they were Hogwarts newbies. No doubt, fans around the world will be squealing as the two lock lips, but how did the stars feel about this most anticipated moment?

Although Emma Watson described her kissing Daniel Radcliffe as "not so bad," her smooch with Rupert Grint was deemed "the weirdest." The pair experienced a lot of pressure approaching the scene. "We were like, "People have been really waiting for this moment, and we've really got to pull this off." And I was like "yes, I know. What are we going to do?"' Despite the anxiety, Watson says it turned out "alright."

Rupert Grint might not feel the same way. In fact, this may just have been his least anticipated scene in the film. He described the kiss as "unnatural" and difficult because of their brother-sister relationship. "We laughed a lot and it took us a while to concentrate," said Grint. Having grown up together throughout the ten years of the film series, the stars went through each take with giggles and the determination to do the scene justice. Grint claimed "it's a nice moment for the characters but she's like a sister to me. We're all really close friends, so it was very strange doing that."

"Kissing is awkward, kissing is always awkward," Watson declared in 2009 when asked about the upcoming kiss. Regardless, fans are thrilled to watch the stars share this sweet moment in the final Harry Potter film--Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 on July 15.
