Harry Potter Is Well Compensated!
Filed under: Daniel Radcliffe > Harry Potter > Emma Watson
We wouldn't let the Twilight gang get wind of this. Chances are they're not making anywhere near what these kids wrangle in.
Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have entered the Guinness World Records book as the highest grossing lead actors of the decade.
Thanks to the wild success of the Harry Potter films, the young stars were able to rake in a hefty sum in the last 10 years.
And it'll probably suprise you to learn though that it's actually Emma who came ahead in the bank, bringing in $753.7 million last year while Daniel only brought in $558 million.
Somehow, she edged ahead another $200 million doing the kid's flick The Tale of Despereaux. She didn't even have to really do much. Just talk into a microphone.
Hope the kids at Brown don't get wind of this. Emma will be footing the bill every time they go out. Or maybe she is a cheap muggle!

why just daniel and emma? where's rupert on this list!
Wow… Crazy… buuuuuut…
TWILIGHT still whoops their ASS!
I hope they have good financial advisers. Emma kindof looks like Kristen Stewart in that picture.
Holy shit!!
these kids are WAY to rich
There's no way that's right. I think there must a typo or something. If not then DAMN!!
i think most of the kids at Brown come from a lot of money, so emma shouldn't worry if they find out. and they will find out, since u posted it on your blog…
awww i love daniel, but he has done more things why emma has more money? anyway I don't care, i love daniel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry but Daniel is fugly…why would anybody be attracted to him? OR are british girls into the "ran over by a tire" look?
I expected Hermione would grow up to be nice looking. But, she is so hot.
And yet, they are THE most grounded young celebrities you'll ever meet!
wow! I had no idea they made that much.
THEY DESERVE IT!! THEY ARE ACTORS not friggin' teeny bop pin ups!
Perez man, wtf is wrong with you? You NEED to explain that the dollar amounts you show are NOT what the stars earned… that is what the movie grossed. You're making it seem like Daniel Radcliffe earned $558 million and that is not the case… the movies he's been in have. How can you not know this?
I'm just happy their not shit heads like those twi-tards. Hmmm Daniel is a nerdy hot….but he seems more real than hollywood fake guys. It gives him charm.
"bringing in $753.7 million last year" you mean over the last ten years, because there is no way she earned 3/4 of a billion dollars in one year. Also, are you inferring that Emma made $200 million from The Tale of Despereax? If you are you are a fucking idiot who does no fact checking. This post is so full of typos, and at its heart misleading, that its not even readable for any content.
Are you reading the article wrong, or am I? Because the article I read wasn't talking about how much money the kids MADE (as in, took home), but how much their films AVERAGE.
From the article: "Radcliffe's films earn an average of $558 million, while Watson is ahead of $753.7 million as last year she also starred in The Tale of Despereaux, a children's animation in which she voiced a princess."
Harry Potter > Twilight
FYI: That's how much their movies made at the box office, not how much they made (hence them being the highest GROSSING actors)
Highest GROSSING not highest EARNING. Meaning that films they were in earned the most. That's not how much money they made. Geez, is everyone here uneducated and illiterate.
damnnn
Holy shit I can't believe they make that much money!!!!!!!!!!!
Highest GROSSING not highest EARNING. Meaning that the films they were in earned the most at the box-office. Those numbers do NOT refer to how much money they personally pocketed for making those films. Geez, is everyone here uneducated and illiterate?
"Just talk into a microphone"??? It's called voice acting and it has it's own challenges from traditional acting. You should know, because whenever I see you doing any type of voice acting you are dreadful, just another thing you manage to fail at. But I'm not surprised, you never really give anything any effort. You leech.
LOL!!
*
It's highest GROSSING, not highest EARNING!!
*
Did you fools actually think that Daniel MADE $558 million and Emma MADE $753.7 million?
*
Wow are you people stupid or what? Spend less time on PH and learn to READ.
*
Ha ha ha ha
I think you mean 7.537 million…
love them all.
perez doesn't know how to read…that isn't how much money they are personally worth, that is how much money their films earned. read the linked article.
I think you mean that their MOVIES made that much money last year.
Re: puppydog66 – They DON'T make that much you dumb blonde….that's how much their films GROSSED. i.e. the film's succes due to their participation. LOL!!
uh…they didn't make that much…those are the averages of their films' gross…look at the original article
I love the Harry Potter films….but i'm a Twihard LOL
He is wrong. The movies they appeared in over the passed 10 years have averaged those numbers in total gross. They were not paid anywhere near that sum.
Re: Kennedys = Entitled Pigs – beat me to it.
WHAT is Harry wearing? He looks like a child in daddy's suit
Re: frankiefilman – Apparently so. They watch and adore Kate Gosselin, so what do you expect?
& Rupert!? =(
the new harrypotter
theme park opened
2/day in orlando
and I can't wait to
get my chocolate frogz
hehhehehee
HOLY SHIT FUCK
Glad some people have some common sense to clear things up. I thought it was ridiculous an actor could bring almost a billion dollars by acting in 5 movies. I don't even think Tom hanks is worth a close to a Billion with all the Blockbusters he has been in.
Here is what the article really says "Radcliffe's films earn an average of $558 million, while Watson is ahead of $753.7 million as last year she also starred in The Tale of Despereaux, a children's animation in which she voiced a princess. "
At first I thought "He must mean this is how much they made over 10 years." But… the more I think, these figures just can't be right. I think the decimal must be in the wrong place.
This is the avg of what the MOVIES made- not what they got to put in their pocket… the way this was written, it seems you think Emma Watson has nearly $1 billion in her bank account. Perez, you are a dumbass- or whoever you have writing for you is.
HARRY POTTER OWNS TWILIGHT!
i think perez would get it right or have a fucking heart atack if the twilight people made this much money.
like someone said HP > Twilight, anytime anywhere.
as evidence by better writing and more money made. lol
Thats crazy!
btw - What is Daniel wearing ? just thought i'd ask.
ahaha thats not how much money they have.
Re: Brandon&Ashley! – thats a still from the next harry potter movie… when there running from bill's wedding so there wearing formal clothes
Barbara, you forgot to mention when you did the copy and paste thing…
.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus was ranked the highest earning child actor,
making an approximate 25 million dollars last year.
That's not what THEY made - it's what their MOVIES made. I'm sure they're disgustingly rich, but making nearly 1 billion dollars in one year? I don't think so.
haha he looks like dwarf
I hope they are well represented, and being taken care of. They are nice young adults now, and have worked very hard. The whole Twilight series doesn't come close to Harry Potter.
have you even read this article? it's not about how much money THEY make. it's about how much money their movies, on average, make. (and yes, her movies make on average more than his do, according to the link.) but seriously, you should read the articles you report on especially if you're going to publicly link to them because there will always be someone out there who's going to click the link and realize how grossly WRONG you are… yet again.
Got damn. Thats cool. ayebeclear.com
O_O They seriously made THAT MUCH MONEY in ONE YEAR???? WHY is Emma bothering with college/university now? She'll never need to work again in her life!!
Rich, hot young mudblood.
It's so insane how much money actors can make. Why is their craft worth any more than say a teacher? firefighter? cleaning lady? nurse? secretary? stylist?
i wouldn't even know what to do with that much money
There is NOTHING attractive about either one of them… but celebrity and fame and money make others perceive them as good looking. Funny how that works. If I saw this kid walking down the street I would not give him the time of day… fucking ugly and nerdy.
The original article wasn't about their salaries. It was about what their films brought in (what the films "grossed.") The article says that Miley Cyrus was the highest paid youth last year, making $25 million.
dear perez,
you are a total fucking idiot. or if your refugee family was writing this, they have not grasped the english language. get your facts straight you fat fuck. a simple google will tell you that he hasn't even made 30mil for the 4 films. goddam you suck
IS IT JUST ME, BUT HE LOOKS A LIL ROBIN WILLIAMS-ISH….
Re: Kennedys = Entitled Pigs – Don't be an ignorant dick and tell her that she's stupid because she's blonde. Yes, she may have made a quick and uninformed comment without thoroughly reading/thinking about the article. I think you're dumb because you sound like a bigot, but don't call her dumb simply because she has blonde hair. I wouldn't try to justify your stupidity based on the fact that you were black, white, male, female, gay, lesbian, young, or old, so don't discriminate against her because of her fucking hair color.
Re: Lady GooGoo – uhh… hate to break it to you .. but the twilight series is a disgrace to anything supernatural or literature …. whilst harry potter is a book of substance …
wonder why rupert didn't make it .. its strange though becasue hes just as important …
and i have respect for dan and emma … they arent like todays celebrities (cough cough twilight cast) …. and they dont get by soely on their looks
they are ators and actresses .. and they deserve to be filthy rich becasue of that
congrats to them
Uuhhmmmm……the Twilight shit is NOT in any way in the league of Harry Potter.
Stephenie Meyer's bullshit is a pale imitation of Anne Rice's work.
EVERYBODY knows that…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't do much, just talk into a microphone?
You think the people who do voices for a movies like these have easy jobs?
Oh right, since you don't do much, just update a blog.
Get over yourself Perez.
holy CRAP!!! are you sure those numbers are correct?! 753.7 MILLION in the last YEAR ALONE?! are you sure that's not for the DECADE?!
Even so, that is RIDICULOUS!!!! How ridiculous is that?!?!
Oh my gosh!!! She couldn't have been PAID $200 million dollars for ONE ANIMATED MOVIE. Now that I think about it, maybe the MOVIE made that much. That makes more sense.
Why does Daniel llok like that… Is it just me or does he look short and fat in this picture… And he looks like he has a mullet… And so what they got all money, they did work, for it.. I guess… I just wish it was me though…lol
I nominate this post for the "Stupidest Post Where Perez Doesn't Know WTF He is Talking About But Posts It Anyway Award."
Wow
Check out the imusicvideotube channel on YouTube!
Re: karumba –
LOL. Fail Perez.
holy shit ….is this for real?
Re: Lady GooGoo – pfft twilight is so far below harry potter its an insult to use it in the same sentance. twilight is a piece of shit in comparison to hp. do you idiot realise how poor the writing is? and how many schools have banned its use as a personal study because it has absolutely no merit?
only fools like those sexist, stupid and poorly written twilight books.
anyways congrats to dan and emma!! even though this is old news yet again..
Have any of you heard of gossipcop? Check it out.
Have any of you heard of g.o.s.s.i.p.c.o.p? Check it out.
Emma has a rare combination of brains and beauty.Good luck with her new endeavor!
Re: bellear86 –
daniel is the boy
i love the bookss
i read like 1-6 in 7 days and im only 10
Re: aprilrose23 –
okay harry potter might be very good and written nicely but twilight is good written aswell so just asking have you ever read twilight?
That jacket makes him look super short. She looks damp.
DAMMNNNN SHES MAKING BANK
yeah no kidding why not rupert grint?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!
THERE SO RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love when u make posts about harry potter stuff
why is she going to college
and harry potter is way better then dumbass twilight really
harry potter could kick edwards ass in a duel even with out his wand
I just read my 6 yr old a library book from the JUVENILE non-fiction section called "How Much is a Million?" I suggest some of you borrow it as well.
Sooo disappointed.
And Perez, you have to fire the person who wrote this entry, even if it was your sister. Anyone with even a passing interest in celebrities would know their approximate range of salaries and how much top movies gross. Mixing the two figures up is just plain stupid. I've written you letters of support when others have trashed, but such a mistake as this one really, really, really, makes me question your content
what the hell is he wearing? he's looking more and more like phil collins every day. with hair.
come on PEREZ this is misleading and you should either edit your story or make sure to write in a clear and accurate manner.
daniel looks like a ferret. who is fat with no neck in this pic
Re: harrypottersbiggest#1fan – yep ive read every single twilight book
and let me say it was REALLY hard for me to get through them..didnt anyone else find the 'literature' was insulting your intelligence? seriously, if you look at the books objectively, the storyline is simple, characters one-dimensional, and words overused…if i ever meet stephanie myer i would give her a thesaurus.
Perez… I always defend you, but your ghost writer has let you down on this one. This is their film gross for the year, not their pay…
Perez, you slimebag. Will you ever learn to check any basic facts before publishing an article. This is beyond misleading. It's just wrong. Internet cockroach.
Will some of you, before commenting, CLICK ON HIS SOURCES???? READ THE OTHER COMMENTS????? Mario is illiterate, stupid, doesn't read the whole article or all of the above. THE MOVIES THEY WERE IN -GROSSED THAT AMOUNT-THEY DID NOT MAKE THAT AMOUNT. Perez copies and pastes-He reads the title, maybe the first line or two. He is wrong on alot of his crap. read gossipcop
Yaaaay!
Harry Potter ftw!
fuck emma watson is so friggin hot
WHY IS HE GETTING SO FAT???
Re: Paulie – Thank you that makes more sense,I thought 753 Million in one year for her to earn we wud of heard of this before! Jaz Z and Beyonce were the high earners in their field and they earned 160 Million COMBINED…Do the math Perez!!
highest grossing…doesnt mean that's how much they pocketed. just means their films grossed a ton of money
poor rupert gets left out of it all and he's a better actor than the other two
Love both Emma and Daniel.
But wow, I never fail to get a headache when I read how OVERPAID actors, actresses, and other celebrities are OVERPAID. It's ridiculous.
Some poor schmuck working in a medical lab looking for a cure for cancer makes $60,000 a year!
Why are our priorities so out of proportion?
Re: Sherry – yes they really are. i live in england and i've met emma a couple of times (friend of a friend of a friend) and she is really really nice. she is so down to earth and i love her so much.
