Harry Potter fans can’t get over what Daniel Radcliffe said to Emma Watson and Rupert Grint before they filmed their kiss scene.
The long-awaited moment by fans between Ron and Hermione happened in the last film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
However, both Grint and Watson were dreading the moment - despite knowing it was always going to happen.

Director David Yates said in a behind-the-scenes interview: “They knew it was kind of coming, because you know it’s part of the story and it was in the script. But they worried a lot about it."
In the footage, both Grint and Watson are cringing at the idea of having to kiss a person they had known since being so little.
The Knock at the Cabin star said: “Yes, David kind of sprung it on us. I was dreading it to be honest.
“It's just because I have known her for so long, it’s kind of like ten years.
“I think we both built it up to be this really awkward, horrible kind of thing.
“There is so much anticipation for these two, because it has been building up since the early ones.”
Watson echoed a similar sentiment, adding: “If someone is like a sibling to you and you have grown up with them, being put in a situation where you have to kiss them is just really awkward.
“We were both more worried about the fact that we just wouldn’t be able to do it.”
And it certainly was a tough scene to film - with the pair going through multiple takes because they were laughing at the whole awkward situation.
However, when they were told that they were going to film it that week, Watson's instant reaction was to tell Radcliffe that he wasn’t allowed to be there when it happened.
To which he replied: “Everyone was there for my kiss!”
And viewers were cracking up at the moment in the comments.
One person said: "EVERYONE WAS THERE FOR MY KISS I LOVE HARRY SO MUCH," while someone else just simply commented: "Dead."
Another viewer said: "No one:
"Me at 3am laughing at: everyone was there for my kiss."
A fourth added that Radcliffe had quite a few kiss scenes throughout the franchise and wanted to know 'which one' he was referring to.
And a fifth wrote: "It was Dan getting mad bc everyone was there for his kiss for me."
After a couple of failed takes, however, Yates decided to give Grint and Watson some crucial advice.
“Don’t be Rupert, forget Rupert, just be Ron." he said.
“Just let Ron take over in that moment, and I said the same thing to Emma.
“And Emma knew that instead of doing 27 takes, she knew if she committed really early, we would get it. I saw her make the decision in her eyes, I saw her think ‘I’m going to have to really go for it’.
“And she really went for it to Rupert’s surprise!”
We’re sure that it was a huge weight off both of their shoulders!
