Emma Watson 'dreading Radcliffe kiss'

Rex Features

Emma Watson has admitted that she is dreading having to kiss co-star Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the magical franchise, told Oprah's Screening Room that she had been shocked when J.K. Rowling told her about the clinch.

"She told me I would end up having to kiss both Dan and Rupert [Grint], and I was like, 'No way!' This is before I read the last one, so I was like, 'Oh, God'," she explained.

"Because in the last one, Ron has a vision when he sees Harry and Hermione kissing in his vision, so I'm going to have to do that for the vision. Even though it doesn't actually happen, I still have to do it. I'm going to end up kissing both of them in the last film. Ugh, it's horrible."

Discussing her already-filmed kiss with Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), she said: "It was really hard... We talked about it before. It was nice that we were in the same boat, as I said before. We both were just like, 'Oh God, this is horrible'."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is released on July 15.
