Emma Watson was nervous while kissing Rupert Grint in ‘Harry Potter’ film

NEW YORK - Emma Watson has revealed that she was nervous while doing the highly anticipated kissing scene with Rupert Grint in the final ‘Harry Potter’ film.

“Rupert and I were quite nervous that it might look ingenuous as we were so desperate to get it over with. Rupert and I felt the pressure of this kiss, there’s so much interest,” the New York Daily quoted her as saying.

However, the actress maintained that the scene was important, and that she had to put her best effort to do it properly.

She said: “This is ten years worth of tension and hormones and chemistry and everything one moment. We had to ace it.”

Yet it was difficult for Watson, she added: “Kissing is awkward, kissing is always awkward.”

The scene between Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley takes place in the seventh and last book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” in J.K. Rowling’s popular series.

Meanwhile, Fandango.com poll claimed that 59 percent of fans would prefer a kissing scene between Hermione and Ron played by Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively.

While on the other hand, only 40 percent chose the kiss between Harry Potter played by Daniel Radcliffe and Ron’s sister Ginny Weasley, played by Bonnie Wright, which can be seen in new film ‘Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince.’

The film is scheduled for release on July 15. (ANI)
