Harry Potter Is Well Compensated!

wenn2381565-harry.jpg

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!

      This is what happens when a moron that has never set foot on a college campus runs a "news" outlet. A damned moron that doesn't realize a film's gross and an actor's personal net income are two totally different things. I don't think you have to be an accountant to figure that one out — just someone smarter than Perez.

      Re: puppydog66 – they dont have that much money (i think danielsthe richest with about 40 million), that is how much their films made at the box office

      hahaha…believe me…they DESERVE it a whole helluva lot more than those idiots in Twilight! Every one of the HP movies is fantastically done with great actors involved. Twilight doesn't come close with any of them. HP forever! (btw, love the twi books, just not the movies)

      Re: Polarbear_ninja – hahahha…have to admit I thought the same thing myself. Although the boy was HOT in that one esquire (?) spread last year but this suit makes him look like he's 5 or something.

      Re: aprilrose23 – I will have to politely disagree with you. I read both series of books and while HP is my fave, I liked the twilight books as well. My main problem is the over hype that has been associated with Twi. The movie was also extremely bad with overacting and underacting. Patz is so unbelievably bad as Edward it actually makes me sad. I wont be contributing to any of the profits for her movies, but I did enjoy Stephanie's books. They are both completely different types of reads as well so they can't really be compared. But we are all entitled to our own opinion. :)

    14. 114

      The actors' films have garnered that much money not the actors themselves. It's quite elementary.



    15. 115

      You know what we love about Perez Hilton? He makes us laugh.

      Though not intentionally on his part.

      In his latest comic masterpiece, Perez successfully cut-and-pasted word for word the sub-headline of a Telegraph story that stated, “Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have entered the Guinness World Records book as the highest grossing lead actors of the decade.”

      What he didn’t do successfully, however, was actually read the Telegraph’s story. The article noted that the two young actors made the Guinness World Records book because their films earned billions of dollars at the box office. “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.”

      But “Scoop” Hilton took it to mean that they – the actors – earned that amount of money. He wrote, “it’ll probably suprise (sic) 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.” He then added, “Hope the kids at Brown don’t get wind of this. Emma will be footing the bill every time they go out.”

      No, they won’t have her always pay, Perez. Because unlike you, those Ivy Leaguers learned as far back as first grade not only how to cut-and-paste, but also how to READ.

      ahaha dancliffe looks sooo adorkable in that pic.



    21. 121

      lmao… Cheap muggle! That was hilarious. I would sure hate for her friends at Brown to hear about this… Somehow, I don't think she will like Brown much longer. Might get tired of getting hit up for cash and cualdron spells by Americans.



    22. 122

      DAYUM…they need to give me some money! I wonder why Rupert isnt on the list?! :D



    23. 123

    24. 124

      Trannydan looks so short in the picture. Shorter than Watson. He must be a kinda large midget. Makes him look quite odd, really.



    25. 125

      Enema's feet are not nearly as large.



    26. 126
