Update: This Is London has an article up discussing the serious amount of snogging taking place in not only Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, but also Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The piece contains quotes from Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Radcliffe regarding all the smooching, including this lovely statement from Emma:

“On screen kisses are never nice and you sort of dread them. We know each other so well we are like brother and sister, and everyone on set was teasing us about the day we would have to kiss. But actually Rupert’s a real gentleman and if I had to kiss anyone I’m glad it was him. There were no tongues involved.”

Rupert also reflected on the kiss:

“I filmed the kiss with Emma on the next movie a couple of weeks ago, it was weird. We’ve known each other so long and neither of us really wanted to do it but we just had get on with it, get into the character and then is was quite nice, but we were in a scary place to begin with.”
