10 Great Films Featuring Super Awkward Kissing Scenes
4. Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
Yes, the awkward romances featured in the Harry Potter series appear twice on this list!
The Order of the Phoenix, the fifth film in this magical movie franchise, charts the rebellious activities of Dumbledore's Army, a group of students who resist the harsh rule of Dolores Umbridge. While the film features some great performances, epic fight scenes, and tragic moments, the blossoming relationship between Cho Chang (Katie Leung) and the titular boy wizard is something of a flop.
Still mourning the loss of her boyfriend Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson), Cho's romantic rendezvous with Harry is (fortunately) brief, and the two quickly part ways.
However, before their romance sizzles out, Harry and Cho do share a kiss in the enchanted Room of the Requirement. This kiss scene is awkward and uncomfortable for several reasons. First and foremost, Leung and Radcliffe desperately lack any chemistry, and the pair are barely believable as pals let alone paramours. More disturbing, however, is that the kiss takes place right next to a picture of the deceased Cedric.
