New
York
(ANI):
'Harry
Potter'
star
Emma
Watson
has
apparently
slammed
the
popular
'Twilight'
series
for
selling
sex.
The
22-year-old
actress,
who
reprises
her
role
as
Hermione
in
the
upcoming
'Harry
Potter
and
the
Deathly
Hollows:
Part
I,
condemned
the
rival
franchise
during
a
conference
call
with
journalists.
"This
kiss
between
Hermione
and
Ron
[Weasley
played
by
co-star
Rupert
Grint]
is
highly
anticipated,
it's
been
building
up
for
eight
films
now," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
her
as
telling
OK
Magazine.
"And
Harry
Potter
is
not
'Twilight,'
you
know'.
We're
not
selling
sex,"
she
added.
Watson
had
been
addressing
the
long-gestating
romance
between
Hermione
and
Ron,
leading
up
to
a
kiss.
Although
it
is
a
fan
favourite
from
the
book,
Watson
admitted
it
was
uncomfortable
for
her
and
Grint
to
shoot.
"In
fact,
it
was
horribly
awkward;
we
couldn't
stop
laughing," she
said.
