Emma Watson Exposes Shocking ‘Incest’ Scene in Harry Potter – Did Fans Miss This?
“The great thing about kissing is that you close your eyes,” Watson told Ross. “So it was fine when I was actually kissing him because I had my eyes closed… The worst bit is when we had to open our eyes and look at each other.”
Years later, in 2011, Grint echoed her discomfort. “It seemed like the most unnatural thing to do—to kiss this person I’d known since she was nine,” he explained in an interview with Attitude.
“It’s quite full-on, a proper snog. We’re soaking wet as well—they dumped gallons of water on us and then we just went for it.”
The Ron Weasley actor said that it wasn’t just one kiss, but many, as they had to reshoot the scene multiple times.
“We laughed a lot and it took us a while to concentrate. We did it about four times.”

The moment was referenced once again in HBO’s Return to Hogwarts special, where fellow cast members recounted how “everyone wanted to be on set” to watch the finished scene for the first time—and tease Watson and Grint about it.
“I did not make this better,” Daniel Radcliffe admitted. “I was just being an absolute d**k about this and was like, ‘I’m gonna come on set and watch you guys kiss.’ I’m sorry about that, guys.”

Immediately after the interview, both news outlets and fans pounced on Watson, criticizing her for talking about her co-star using terms like “horrible” and “incest.” The vitriol got so loud that the actress had to address it in an article with Movies Ireland.
