Richest Harry Potter Stars Who Proved They Don't Need Magic to Make Bank
The surprising financial success of Harry Potter's cast members.
Emma Thompson, $40 Million
This actress became famous long before her role in the Harry Potter series, but at least she got an impressive salary out of it, which added to her overall net worth. Emma, who played Professor Trelawney, is ninth on the list with $40 million.
Gary Oldman, $40 Million
Gary is one of the most famous actors in Hollywood, and his amazing performance as Sirius Black made him basically an icon among young people. Oldman went on to win an Oscar for his role as Winston Churchill. However, his net worth is only slightly higher than that of Emma Thompson, placing him eighth on the list.
Rupert Grint, $50 Million
You'd be surprised, but Rupert, who has fewer projects under his belt than his older colleagues, has managed to earn more than them. Maybe that's why he's so selective about starring in new films nowadays. In total, Grint earned $70 million for all the films in the series that he invested in real estate.
Ralph Fiennes, $ 50 Million
In Harry Potter Ralph played Voldemort, the main villain of the series, and right after that he starred in an equally ambitious franchise about the famous special agent James Bond. This allowed Fiennes to surpass Grint and take sixth place.
Helena Bonham Carter, $60 Million
We would get tired of listing all the projects with Helena that were commercially successful. Thanks to her talent, she managed to earn at least $60 million. It looks like Bellatrix Lestrange's doing very well.
Kenneth Branagh, $60 Million
Kenneth is not that far ahead of Helena. You'd be surprised, but the Gilderoy Lockhart actor is a very successful actor and producer. He directed the first Thor movie, produced its sequel, and recently starred in the acclaimed film Tenet. A well-deserved fourth place.

Emma Watson, $85 Million
The role of Hermoine in the Harry Potter series earned about $60 million for Emma. And her subsequent participation in the Disney adaptation of Beauty and the Beast added another $15 million to that figure. In addition, Watson is working with many luxury fashion brands. Perhaps this is why she is now turning down a lot of roles in films.
Robert Pattinson, $100 Million
The guy who played one of the sexiest vampires of our time is ranked second on our list. Cedric Diggory's actor didn't make that much from the Harry Potter film series, but he did gain some financial stability thanks to the Twilight saga. Recently he starred in The Batman, and he is also the face of Dior Homme.
Daniel Radcliffe, $110 Million
Daniel became a celebrity after playing the famous little wizard, but doing so he risked being stuck in that role forever. Not surprisingly, Radcliffe refused to star in other films for several years, trying to get rid of the associations. Now the actor is back in business and has managed to earn about $15 million. For the role of Harry Potter, Daniel was paid approximately a total of $95 million.
