With the 7th Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hitting us over the weekend, this week's PWEU who entertain us shall of course be, the Harry Potter cast! Deathly Hallows have been reported(RTT News) to have already brought in $205 million in theatres outside of the USA, bringing its worldwide total to be $330 million and counting, making it perhaps the most lucrative franchise in history. (beating Star Wars and also predicted to beat Toy story 3)
It has been no secret that the HP franchise is making a heaps load of money and so is the cast. However, here's a HP cast fun fact:
According to Daily Mail Although Daniel Radcliffe has been paid $250,000 for HP and the Sorcerer's Stone, $3 mil for Chamber of secrets, $11 mil for Goblet of Fire, $14 mil for the Order of the Phoenix and $50 million for the final two HP films, he is still not the highest paid actor. Keanu Reeves beats him with an estimated $160 million for The Matrix Reloaded/The Matrix Revolutions and Bruce Willis with over $100 million for The Sixth Sense.
Fun fact 2 (Not really such a fun fact but just to reiterate how wealthy they are) :
Rupert grint reveals in a interview awesome things he got to buy with his wealth, namely a ice cream truck, pigs (?!) and a hovercraft.
Being all that successful, having all that fame does come with its pros and cons and here's a little video of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton which i found on how HP has stolen our casts' youth. It's a little video on a quiz that was presented to the cast members as a challenge and well, it sure entertained me! There's a winner of the quiz so... Click Here lol
And thats it for the PWEU this week!
