Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is finally kissing and telling. He recently opened up about kissing costar Emma Watson, aka Hermione Granger, for the first time. Apparently, it wasn't quite as romantic in real life as it appeared on the screen, as Grint more or less compared the experience to kissing a sibling.

Speaking at the three-day Celebration of Harry Potter event that takes place at Universal's Orlando park, Grint told PEOPLE, "I never look back at that scene. I've known Emma since she was literally 9 years old and we had this very brother-sister relationship. And it just felt very surreal. I have a memory of her face getting closer and closer. Like, 'Oh my God.' I can't really remember anything apart from that."

He goes on to say that he wouldn't do anything differently about the take, mostly because once was enough. "One take was enough. It was such a huge moment and there was so much expectation. Quite a lot of pressure actually."

Speaking of the Harry Potter universe, Eddie Redmayne spilled some details about the upcoming spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Speaking on Saturday night's SAG Awards red carpet, the actor, who plays Newt Scamander in the film, said, "It was the most wonderful experience. I had the most wonderful time."

When pressed for more details, he said simply, "Really, J.K. Rowling's imagination [is what made it so great], getting to delve back into that world."

Set in 1926 in New York, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will follow a screenplay by author J.K. Rowling. It is her first time writing for the big screen. It will be the first of a trilogy. Jon Voight, Ron Perlman, Colin Farrell and more star opposite Redmayne. The film is scheduled to be released Nov. 18 of this year.
