Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe in the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.
Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has stayed true to his word and managed to kiss co-star Katie Leung 30 times before a scene from the new film was picture perfect.
Radcliffe, 17 had promised previously to mess up the scene in a bid to keep on kissing Scottish actress Leung.
Speaking about the kissing scene earlier this year he said: “It will be odd because one of my parents will be on set. It will be embarrassing, but hopefully I will work past that and be utterly professional.
"I will probably keep screwing it up so that I can keep doing it.”
After 30 takes the kiss as perfected and the cast and crew went home happy, Radcliffe said to The Sun: “We probably got it on the 30th take. My god it was fun. Me and Katie – we were awkward and nervous at first but once we got it was fine.”
Leung added: “Daniel is a good kisser. I really enjoyed it. He’s energetic and makes you feel relaxed.
The teenagers attracted a big audience while they smooched. Producer David Yates said: "The crew gathered round the monitor the day we shot the kiss.
"We did many, many takes and it's very tender and loving, as the first kiss should be.
