Harry Potter star Emma Watson has slammed the Twilight Saga for ‘selling sex.’
The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the Potter films is not a fan of the vampire flick, starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner because she feels it promotes sexual activity.
Twilight is seen as a rival franchise to the successful Harry Potter series and it seems Emma will not be ditching wizards for vampires anytime soon.
When speaking about the final installment of Harry Potter, The Deathly Hallows in a conference call with journalists, Watson reportedly said: “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.”
She added to the New York Daily News: “And Harry Potter is not Twilight, you know. We’re not selling sex.”
The 21-year old star also admitted that she found it ‘uncomfortable’ getting intimate with Rupert when shooting the kissing scene, revealing: “In fact, it was horribly awkward; we couldn’t stop laughing.”
