The actor did not enjoy the romantic moment, due to his brother-sister relationship with Watson.
It might have been a moment that melted the hearts of Harry Potter fans, but actor Rupert Grint doesn't have fond memories of his on-screen kiss with Emma Watson. Grint’s character Ron Weasley finally got together with Hermione Granger in the final instalment of the franchise, but for the two actors it was all just very awkward.
Rupert Grint does not remember his kiss with Emma Watson fondly.
Speaking to People during the 'Celebration of Harry Potter' event in Orlando over the weekend, Grint opened up on the famous scene. "I never look back at that scene," Grint said. "I've known Emma since she was literally 9 years old and we had this very brother-sister relationship.”

"And it just felt very surreal. I have a memory of her face getting closer and closer. Like, 'Oh my God.' I can't really remember anything apart from that.” When asked if he’d do anything differently in the scene, Grint added: "One take was enough. It was such a huge moment and there was so much expectation. Quite a lot of pressure actually."
Another famous kissing scene in the franchise was when Harry enjoyed his first kiss with Cho Chang, played by Katie Leung. When asked if she had any regrets over the scene, Leung admits she made one major mistake.
"I wish I never cut my hair the way I did," Leung said. "I had this horrific haircut!" Speaking about her time in the franchise the actress revealed that she still can’t watch the films. “You grow as an actor and you change your choices," she added. “That’s partly why I can't watch them. I'm just really judgmental of myself."

Along with Grint and Leung, also there for the celebrations were Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood).
