 The
British boy wizard Harry Potter keeps
mesmerizing the world with his magical powers. His fans all over the
world never tire of his adventures and the Harry
Potter movies gained huge popularity in many countries over the last
few years, sweeping the box offices.
The movies made the young actors in the films very famous and rich at the same time. Last week,
they even made it on to the new list of rich British stars!
According to the celebrity magazine Heat, the Harry
Potter actors are some of the wealthiest stars in the
U.K. The new list of rich U.K. stars was released last Tuesday. Daniel
Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter, topped the list as the richest
actor under 30. Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the films,
and Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, were third and fourth respectively.
The previous six films were hugely successful, making more than
$5.4 billion (￡3.4 billion) worldwide. The latest Harry Potter film,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I was released in the U.K.
and the U.S. in November, smashing box office records. In the U.K.,
it raked in around ￡17.5 million
in its first three days! In the U.S., the movie fetched $125 million on its
opening weekend. The first
part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on December
15 in Korea and the final part is scheduled to be released in July
of next year.
 The
huge success of the movie series automatically made the main actors billionaires. Radcliffe has
earned about ￡45.7million
over the past few years through the Harry Potter movies. The 21-year-old
actor has earned ￡25 million for the Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows films alone. Emma Watson, who is
now 20 years old, earned ￡20.6 million and 22-year-old Rupert Grint
earned ￡19 million.
