Potter star Radcliffe talks kissing Emma Watson

Emma Watson is a “vigorous” kisser.

At least, that’s what Daniel Radcliffe says, describing their kissing scene in next week’s movie, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”.

The actor, who stars as Harry, says Emma's enthusiasm during their kissing scene took him by surprise. “I was ambushed!” he told a British TV station, adding, “It was full on.”

The scene is a fantasy in the final book in the franchise.

Radcliffe, 21, recognised he was lucky to lock lips with the gamine star, saying: “I always thought it was going to be this soft sensual sort of moment and suddenly there was this vigorous kissing happening to me. She is a bit of an animal, she is, she was great. But then I’m not complaining, there are tens of thousands of men that would cut off limbs to be in that position.”

He said filming this penultimate movie in the franchise was a very different experience from the previous movies.

“It's very different. There’s no Hogwarts, there’s no school uniforms, thank god, because I have spent the last six years of my life trying to chat up women wearing a school uniform, it’s terrible,” he laughed.

Daniel also kisses Bonnie Wright, who plays Harry's on/off girlfriend Ginny.

The film hits UAE cinemas next weekend.
