The actress who played Hermione in the famous saga told why it was too complicated to shoot this scene with her partner and friend.
"Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts" was released and unpublished details of one of the most successful film sagas in history are beginning to be known, including the iconic kiss scene between Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
The actress, who gave life to Hermione Granger, spoke about this romantic moment in the HBO Max special, which reunited the cast for the 20 years of the first installment of the franchise: "Harry Potter: The Philosopher's Stone".
Watson recalled that prior to this scene, the chemistry that existed between her and Rupert Grint was the closest thing to a family bond, so kissing him was one of the most complicated challenges that she had to meet.
The actress also said that when the day of the shoot came, she and her partner could not contain their laughter. The nervousness of 'Ron' was such that it was she who had to take the first step.
“It was supposed to be a dramatic kiss, but you and I were losing focus. We couldn't stop laughing and I was really afraid that it would never work out for us because we couldn't take it seriously. Kissing Rupert was one of the hardest things I had to do," Emma recalled at the reunion.

The remembered Ron Weasley knew that this romantic scene was one of the most anticipated by the public, however, he did not expect that it would also generate great expectations among the production team and the cast of the saga.
“It is a relationship that they have repressed for so long. The public is dying to see that kiss, ”he recalled before admitting that he felt like he was going to faint when he saw his friend approaching him. “Every time you talk about this it sounds like it was a nightmare for you,” Emma replied with a laugh.
