Accio fortune! The stars of Harry Potter didn’t just defeat dark wizards — they also made some serious money while doing it. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint went from unknown child actors in The Sorcerer’s Stone to global stars by the time Deathly Hallows – Part 2 hit theaters. With the Harry Potter movies earning over $9.5 billion worldwide, fans often wonder — how much did the trio earn during their time at Hogwarts?

Let’s break down just how much gold ended up in their Gringotts vaults.

Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter Salary

Daniel Radcliffe became the face of the wizarding world as Harry Potter. At just 11 years old, he made $1 million for the first movie, The Sorcerer’s Stone. That number quickly grew as the films became more successful. For The Chamber of Secrets, he earned $2 million, and then $6 million for The Prisoner of Azkaban.

By the time he starred in The Half-Blood Prince, his paycheck had jumped to $24 million. But the biggest payout came for the final two films — Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2 — where he earned a massive $50 million. In total, Radcliffe reportedly made around $109 million from the Harry Potter series. That’s a magical payday for the Boy Who Lived!

Emma Watson’s Harry Potter Salary

Emma Watson, who played the clever and brave Hermione Granger, also had an impressive salary journey. She made under $1 million for the first film but quickly saw her earnings rise as her popularity grew. By The Order of the Phoenix, she was earning about $4 million.

For the final two films, she reportedly made $30 million — matching her co-stars. Altogether, Emma Watson earned around $70 million from the Harry Potter movies. Since then, she’s starred in hits like Beauty and the Beast and Little Women, and become a global icon and activist.

Rupert Grint’s Harry Potter Salary

Rupert Grint, known as Ron Weasley, also made a lot during his time in the wizarding world. He started with under $1 million in the first film. By The Half-Blood Prince, he was earning about $4 million. Like Watson, he received around $30 million for the last two movies.

His total earnings from the franchise are estimated to be about $70 million. After Harry Potter, Grint chose a quieter path, appearing in smaller TV shows like Servant and The ABC Murders.

Other Harry Potter Cast Salaries

What about the rest of the magical cast? Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy, made about $18 million across all eight films. Not bad for playing the school bully!

Alan Rickman, who portrayed the mysterious Severus Snape, had a net worth of around $16 million before he passed away — much of it from his iconic Harry Potter role.

However, not everyone earned big bucks. Background extras reportedly made just $45 a day, according to DailyMail. That’s barely enough for a Butterbeer in Hogsmeade!

Final Thoughts

The Harry Potter cast grew up on screen — and their salaries grew right along with them. From humble beginnings to millions of dollars, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint truly lived the magical dream. Whether they return for future wizarding adventures or not, one thing’s for sure: their time in Hogwarts left them with legendary careers and bank accounts.
