Behind-the-Scenes Footage of Ron and Hermione’s First ‘Harry Potter’ Kiss Released [VIDEO]

Because he has a sibling-like relationship with his costar in real-life, Rupert Grint was so traumatized by having to romantically kiss Emma Watson in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ that the actor has since repressed the experience. “I find it hard to recall anything about it,” Grint told reporters. “I think it has been erased from my mind.”

Of course their kiss exists on film for everybody else to see, and in this behind-the-scenes look at ‘Deathly Hallows’ you can watch the pair brace themselves for the big moment, and learn about Watson’s strategy to keep the number of takes at a minimum.
