Emma Watson Exposes Shocking ‘Incest’ Scene in Harry Potter – Did Fans Miss This?
Jonathan Ross pointed out how the two actors had known each other since they were nine. So when the scene—ten years in the making—finally arrived, Watson said it was anything but magical.

“Actually we did the kiss two weeks ago,” the then 19-year old actress said, describing her disgust at having to film the scene.
“Not because Rupert isn’t lovely, and there are millions of girls out there who would probably chop their left arm off to kiss him,” she said at the time. “But it just felt like incest. That’s the only way I can describe it.”

The word “incest” made waves across media at the time, and the interview was thus periodically brought time and time again. Watson clearly didn’t mean it literally, but metaphorically, as she felt she was kissing her honorary sibling after a decade of shared puberty.

Still, the phrasing was enough to make the internet recoil.
“Did I watch the wrong Harry Potter?” one viewer recently joked.
“I never saw Hermione and Ron as brother and sister so it was never incestuous to me… but I had crushes on my childhood friends so I don’t see how it was anything out of the ordinary,” another added.
Rupert Grint agreed with his co-star, adding that they had to repeat the kiss several times

The kiss between Ron and Hermione takes place in the Chamber of Secrets during the decisive Battle of Hogwarts. After Ron heroically suggests warning the house-elves in the kitchen, Hermione couldn’t help but throw herself at him.
