Harry Potter actress Emma Watson said it felt like "incest" when she kissed co-star Rupert Grint. The 19-year-old plays the character Hermione Granger in the films, and she said she has already filmed the scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows where Hermione and Rupert's character Ron Weasley kiss.

She said: "We did the kiss two weeks ago and it was the most horrible thing I've ever had to do. 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, but it just felt like incest. That is the only way I can describe it." She said that it took six takes to film and added: "The great thing about kissing is you close your eyes. So when I was kissing him, I had my eyes closed so I could not think about the fact that it was him. The worst bit was when we had to open our eyes and look at each other." Emma, who is now a model for British fashion label Burberry, said she always gets the same chat-up lines from guys. She said: "It is amazing how many, I don't think you can even call them chat-up lines, that you can get out of 'broomsticks' and 'wands' and things. And the other thing they do is they come up and they think they are really original and funny and I will never have heard it before, and they go: 'Oh, you're the girl from Narnia aren't you'. They know I'm not, but they think it's funny." Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is in cinemas on July 15.
