The Harry Potter rich list: Eye-watering sums the child stars such as Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Robert Pattinson have made... including the VERY surprising actor who's only made £3m
Share:
It's been 14 years since Daniel Radcliffe played Harry Potter. Yet the actor, 35, is still cashing in from the role which made him a star, having reportedly amassed almost £100million from the business he uses to channel his on-screen earnings. Investment-savvy Radcliffe is believed to have earned £75million by the time he finished the last of eight Harry Potter films in 2011 - but that has since increased by £20million-plus.

According to the latest accounts filed with Companies House, in the 12 months to March 2024 alone, he boosted his income by £6.6million. Despite starring in a string of stage and screen roles - even winning a Tony Award for his role in Broadway musical Merrily We Roll Along last year - nothing has come close to his best-known role as the boy wizard.

Yet in recent years, divisions between Radcliffe and the woman who gave him his big break, author JK Rowling, have played out very publicly. While Rowling, 59, believes women's rights are being eroded by transgender activists, many of the young actors who starred in the Harry Potter movies, including Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who played Hermione, have either criticised her comments or distanced themselves from them. Radcliffe admitted last year that he and Rowling haven't spoken for four years.

Harry Potter stars Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint, Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, and Hermione Granger, played by Emma Watson. Few doubt that these stars owe their careers to the feminist author. But just how much money have her creations made for them? Here's a rundown of the many millions the cast have accrued since the first film was released in 2001...
