Katie, 19, revealed she’s nervous about the kiss - in case her parents don’t like it.

"I only watched the film yesterday and I thought I’d be cringing, but I’m very pleased with it. It’s a very endearing and sweet scene," she said.

But she admitted: "I’m not sure how my mum and dad are going to react. Hopefully they will find it really sweet as well."

The kissing scene took 30 takes to get right.

Katie said: "Daniel was great. I’m sure everyone wants to know if he’s a good kisser and he definitely was. I had so much fun filming it."

They spoke at the launch of The Order Of The Phoenix, the sixth instalment in JK Rowling’s series, which is released on July 13.


Potter stars sign up for last flims - Mar 26 2007
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will return as teenage wizards Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger in the final Harry Potter films, Warner Bros Pictures has announced.

The young stars will reprise their roles in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - the last two films in the franchise based on JK Rowling’s best-selling novels, said Jeff Robinov, the studio’s president of production.

"It would be inconceivable to imagine anyone else in the roles with which they have become so identified," Robinov said.

Radcliffe, who recently made news for his nude role in the London production of Equus, said playing Potter had been "an immense privilege".

"I feel a huge sense of loyalty to the character of Harry and the fans who have supported these films over the years," the 17-year-old said.

Watson, 16, said her character was her hero.

"I could never let Hermione go," she said. "I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me. I’m excited and honoured to be finishing what I started and playing her in all seven of the films."

Grint, 18, added: "I’ve been so proud to play (Ron) and loved every second of being part of this world."

The fifth film in the series, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, is scheduled for release in the US on July 13.

Standing ovation for Dan’s West End debut - Mar 1 2007
Daniel Radcliffe received a standing ovation at the end of his West End stage debut in Peter Shaffer’s Equus.

The 17-year-old Harry Potter actor drew a star-studded audience to the official opening night of the disturbing story.

Celebrity guests were united in their praise for Radcliffe who plays Alan Strang, a troubled stablehand who has an erotic fixation with horses.

And they gave mixed reactions to the four-minute nude scene which has dominated the headlines in the run up to the show’s launch.

TV presenter Graham Norton said: "Why do people keep asking about him being naked? I’m a gay man and I’m not mentioning it. It’s a play - get over it, ladies."

But Pixie Geldof, who watched last night’s performance at the Gielgud Theatre, in Shaftesbury Avenue, with her father Sir Bob, said: "I was so shocked! I love him, I think he is beautiful."
