Emma Watson admits she was ‘taken aback’ at Rupert Grint’s reunion comments

Emma Watson has said she was "taken aback" by comments from Rupert Grint during the Harry Potter 20th anniversary reunion. Along with Daniel Radcliffe, the pair starred in the films for 10 years, a time spanning from their childhood to young adulthood. So it's not surprising an emotional bond developed between the cast, and that there were some moving moments during the reunion.

In a particularly touching exchange from the special, Rupert has Emma welling up with tears as they reflect on their time together during the films, telling her: “We’re family, we always will be.

“It’s a strong bond, we’ll always be part of each other’s lives.”

Then, after a heartfelt embrace, he added “I love you,” before clarifying "as friends".

The pair then break out in laughter, but it sounds like Rupert's comments had a lasting impact on Watson.
