The internet’s collective memory is long—and often petty. Just days after HBO unveiled the full cast for its upcoming Harry Potter reboot series, an old Emma Watson quote has resurfaced as fans revisit interviews before bidding the original cast farewell.
“Like incest,” that’s how the actress described her long-awaited on-screen kiss with fellow cast member Rupert Grint in an interview.
“It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever had to do,” she added, forever ruining the moment for many fans, who now, upon rewatching the scene, can’t unsee how Watson, embodying Hermione, was squirming with disgust.
