MTV -  While fans have long been waiting for Ron and Hermione to lock lips in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have said that it was not so much fun to film the highly anticipated scene. And, according to Grint, it was not any easier watching said kiss on the big screen — “especially in 3-D.”   MTV News caught up with the “Harry Potter” star over the weekend, and he seemed to find it just as difficult discussing the scene now as he and Watson did after they filmed it in 2009. In fact, Grint couldn’t even remember how many takes of the kiss they had to go through before director David Yates finally yelled, “Cut!”  “I have no memory of that day. I’ve kind of erased it,” Grint said. “I think it was about four.”  “It was a tricky one, because it had to be believable. We had to look like we wanted to do it, when in reality we really didn’t,” Grint said. “We were soaking [in the scene], and that kind of made it a little bit easier, I think, because it was kind of this outburst of adrenaline.”  When MTV News chatted with Watson about the kiss back in 2009, she echoed similar uncomfortable sentiments. In fact, she said she was so nervous during the first take of the kiss that she ended up pouncing on Grint in order to get the scene over with.  “The only good side to it was the fact that we were both in the same boat,” Watson said. “We were both just like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe we have to do this. This is so awkward. Really awkward.’ So I could take comfort in the fact that Rupert felt the same way. We were both giggling. We were like 12-year-olds. We were like giggling children, where you just couldn’t keep it together.”

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.  I call bullshit Rupert.  There is no way its possible that you wouldn’t want to kiss Emma Watson, I don’t care how long you’ve known her or how friendly you two are.  She’s hot.  You know it.  So the whole, “I have no memory of that day” shit…I’m not buying it.  But look, I do understand.  You’ve been “friends” with this chick for years, probably know her better than most.  But to sit there and tell me you’ve never had a crush on this chick is insulting.  It’s insulting to her too.  Maybe she’s sitting there giggling in the rain like a child because you seem like you don’t wanna kiss her.  That’s probably why she was never into you and Harry Potter, she wanted that asshole Draco.  You need to grow a pair, bro.  Get up on that chick and make the kiss your own.  Instead, you’re in an awkward position watching you kiss a hot chick that’s totally not into it on a 3D screen.  And millions and millions of people can see that now too.  Good job, Rupert.  Pffft.
