As “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” quickly approaches, fans of the boy wizard franchise are buzzing about a kiss between stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson – a lip lock that has them blushing and laughing.
Earlier this week, Daniel told Britain’s ITV’s “Daybreak” morning show that his co-star was “a bit of an animal” during their on-screen kiss.
“I keep hearing this, it’s so embarrassing. I don’t know what to say!” Emma told Access Hollywood correspondent Tim Vincent at the film’s junket when asked about her co-star’s comment.
“I’m getting in so much trouble. She turned around to me last night just after we got off the carpet and said to me, ‘Apparently you’re telling people I’m an animal?!’” Daniel told Tim at the junket. “Somebody said to me, ‘That was kind of an animal kiss’ and I said, ‘Yeah it was,’ you know, in a good way. I think most men would agree ‘animal’ is very positive.”
Rupert Grint, who plays Emma Watson’s main on-screen love interest, said he couldn’t contain himself while watching his co-stars kiss.
“I was originally going be there so they can kind of react, play off of me a little bit,” he told Tim. “But, I couldn’t stop laughing… Emma was the one who kind of sent me out.”
Tim also got to the bottom of the question on every “Potter” fan’s mind – would Daniel return for more movies if author J.K. Rowling were to pen more novels?
“I think that would be too much,” Daniel said. “I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t want [another] Harry Potter book to be written.”
“It’s been an amazing time, but it’s enough time to spend with one character… It would seem like – not a step backward – it would seem like the wrong move to immediately go back into,” the 21-year-old actor explained. “But you know, we’ll see, maybe she’ll write it and it will be incredible. Better men than me have changed their minds, so who knows?”
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” opens on November 19. The final movie of the boy wizard series comes to theaters in July 2011.
