Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opened today, and if you went to see it you have already seen Ron Weasley’s big make out session with his girlfriend.   What was it like for actor Rupert Grint to film that scene?

“It was quite intense. Ron’s new girlfriend, Lavender, kind of attacks him. I had only really just met Jessie Cave, who plays her, and suddenly, we were kissing up a storm. I was quite worked up about it because we’re in the middle of a huge crowd, and it’s never really a comfortable thing to do right in front people. When Daniel [Radcliffe] got kissed in the last film, he was, like, totally alone.”

And how did Harry Potter support his co-star during the filming of that scene?

“Daniel wasn’t great really when I did my kissing scene. I guess he hadn’t forgotten I’d teased him when he got kissed. He was sort of standing at the back of the set trying to make me laugh. He was a little bit of a creep.”

I love how Rupert talks about “getting kissed” like it’s something that happens TO you rather than something you participate in.  Then again, if I recall the book correctly, Lavender really does kind of go after him, so maybe that’s an accurate description after all.
