[COLOR=Oh my josh dan get so much more money then em or rupert!its not fair her gets like 3mil and em and rup get like 125thousand !i luv dan but he just get way more then them.If u agree with me post.thanx]

well all three of them said that they dont care about the money they just like being in the movie.

well, it is kinda fair, since dan is harry potter (more stunts, and acting)...but that's a big difference when comparing their salaries.

but still, if they are not complaining, then i guess we dont really have to worry. they're having fun, and that's what counts.

Oh ok thank u

i dont think the money matters. i mean, for em and rupert, im sure it would be nice to get 3 mil. like dan. but, think about it, 125 thousand is A LOT! i'd be soo happy if i got half of that.
plus, like they said before, they dont care about the money

i personaly wouldnt care how much im getting i would just love being in the movie

You gotta remember that not only is Daniel Radcliffe playing Harry Potter (who the whole series is named after), he's a veteran as opposed to Rupert and Emma with their first apperance on the big screen. If I'm not mistaken, Dan has starred in several before - including David Copperfield with the person that plays McGonagall (what's her name? I forgot. I know that's bad because she won an Acadamey Award I think). Do you know how much Emma Thompson gets paid for her small role? Or Gary Oldman?

I think I posted on this ~ahh but it doesn't appear (or i'm dreaming lol)

I agree with doomed_renascence on the fact that there basically isn't one scene in the whole movies that dan isn't in ~whereas Rupert and Emma it is much less....

And with the less money they spend on casting the more they can spend on special effects and additional scenes.

What do we want ~a richer Rupert Grint. Or more movie?

well none of them should get that much really- but im sure theyr just glad to be in it!

Why does it matter? They're happy to be acting in such an internationally known film (the book are well known too) .. so their salary shouldn't matter, unless.. they sacrifice so much just to do the movie.

Completely agree with those of you who said Dan deserves it. I mean, I'm not saying that just 'cause I have a teensy-little-tiny crush on him (tiny..psshh..whatever... TASHLUVSDAN!) , but he IS like the main character and Harry certainly gets into a great deal of misfortune! Dan even said it in an interview that he had to be extremely fit to do the stunts (which I don't mind )..which seem kind of hard!

Rupert is way better at acting then dan or emma so he should have the most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know i wasent like AHHH HE GETS MORE MONEY!!AHH!!! i was just pointing that out and yes i agree with all of u i would do it even if i did not get paid man i pay them to ley me be in it lol well ok thanx for postin

It is more because he is HARRY POTTER. Ron and Hermione are just his sidekicks.

Anyway none of them are all that good at acting. So I suppose they are all lucky that they still have a job.

Although I doubt that they would get fired.

When it comes to talnet I think they'll all equal. I think Dan does deverse the money, but Rupert and Emma should get paid the same amount.

I would imagine that Dan puts in tremendous amounts of time into the films and promoting th films that neither Emma or Rupert do. I heard an interview with Dan at danradcliffe.co.uk where he mentions having to take scuba lessons to get ready for the 2nd task. This gives a little insight into how much preparation goes into the films. Just think about GoF in particular. Dan is in every scene, I would guess. There are bound to be several scenes where Emma and rupert aren't even in. All three tasks are Dan (True Emma and Rupert are in the 2nd one, but still much of it will be Dan) And of course the whole graveyard scene which is quite long in the book. In other interviews I have seen Daniel talks about the fact that they had already started filming bits of the movie and that was in the spring. I don't think that Emma and Rupert started until summer.

The stunts that Daniel has to do etc for this one in particular probably take a great deal of time and preparation. I mean if they paid the actors the same hourly wage for each hour that they worked on the film in anyway at all, Dan would still get a lot more money because I am sure he is working probably everyday. And even on non filming days, he probably is prepping for some of the stunts etc.


I don't think what he makes seems that much out of line with what many actors make. I would argue that Dan deserves to get what he makes, but I might also argue that Rupert and Emma are now ready to be paid a bit more than what they got the last time. It does seem like they could make a bit more.

well not to show favoritism or anything, but dan is the main character, and i think he should be paid like it. but their salaries shouldnt be that much different

Well once Rupert turn 18, he'll have to be paid more, there's laws protecting actors, make sure they get paid the amount they earn. And then I'm guessing Emma will want to be paid more, beacuase then Dan and Rupert probaly will being paid a few mil.

Rupert shouldnt have to wait 2 more years tho. thats not fair.

Or it could be 17, I don't know the law in the UK, I mean they say that in the HP books 17 is a legal adult, so JK could base that on the law in the UK.

oh well! Rupert should be paid millions of millions of dollars just for existing in my opinion! lol i love him soooo much! i wish i could meet him. anyway he shopuld be getting the same salary as emma and dan.

Yeah, well I don't know about that, but I do enjoy Rupert qutie a lot.

i read an article that said that Rupert would be the first to become bigger that the HP movuies cuz hes sexier and oldre than all of the trio. maybe he should get more then.

DAn's salary is 14 millions pounds...

but how's the helper player? I mean, are the hogwarts students get paid too?

I'm sure I read something on this that said that although Dan earns more than Emma and Rupert Rupert earns the most out of the three of them because he does other films as well and Emma gets the least. but hey I wouldn't mind how much money I had if I could be part of such an amazing project. And I'm sure thats the attitude they all have.

And about the thing with Rupert getting paid more I'm not sure if that will happen but if it does the age that any minimum wage starts is normally 18 in the UK

I'm just surprised at how low the trio is paid in general. I mean, the HP movies have grossed hundreds and hundreds or millions, and yet they are only being paid $125,000.

Sheesh.

In ma opinion its quite wright because after all Harry is the hero of the film,But Hermione is also the heroine of the film so she deserves also an equal salary.but at the end they all are happy about their salaries.

(sorry im a bit late with the reply)

i think its gd that they don't care what they get paid because they enjoy themselves

i heard that rup bought his parents a mansion and paid the bills! this was in a newspaper by the way

MOD EDIT: Please see Ygraine's post below. Thanks.

Hi Wandy!

If you could just pop round to the rules (link in my signature) netspeak isn't allowed on Veritaserum as not everyone here has english as their first language. Netspeak makes it difficult for some people to understand your post (gd should have been good)

Cheers, and happy posting

£125,000? Mere snippet! How do they live with such a low salery?
I mean they have to go through so much, getting a really good kick-start to thier acting career, getting tonnes of experience, getting loads of fans and fame...and they only get paid £125,000?
My family work a huge amount and get £15,000. I don't think anyone should complain about getting £125,000 when they're still in nappies.

I think that is just a rumour, but I'm not sure.

In response to all of this, I think all of their salaries are absolutely crazy, they are getting free education and have become famous, and to make up for this they are given millions of pounds?!?!?!

if they truely don't care about the money they should give it to charity. Why should Dan leave school with good qualifications (they have private onset tutors), like many other kids, yet already have millions of pounds, he hasn't worked for it, he has just been lucky enough to get a part millions wanted. Almost all the kids in the films have said at some point that it is great fun, and just like a holiday.

Dan, Emma and Rupert can ear really horrendous money but the question is, how much the agents take . I also remember that one of the British actors associations made the Dan's earning much more impressive cause they admitted he'd worked for such a little sallary that was a crime.

I dont know how much pounds is so can you tell me the salary in American/Canadian money? That would be nice, never understood pounds or how much more/less it is then American/Canadian money.

I think it's extremely unethical and impolite to berate someone just because the person is in an enviable position. I am surprised that you decided that Dan hasn't worked for what he achieved and he's just free loading. Being the focal character in an internationally recognised and famous series such as Harry Potter is extremely demanding. The artists have to cope up not only with sky-high expectations in each movie but need to oblige several media organizations and fulfill a plethora of commitments towards promoting the film and making necessary appearances as deemed in their contract. It's a tough job, where people see the glamour but unfortunately do not see the flip side. Because of his fame, Dan more than anyone else has to adjust life being in public spotlight all the time, where even a sneeze is splashed across tabloids. He cannot walk down a street without the risk of being mobbed. Who are you to decide what he does with his money, he's earned it through legal money and not through some illegal means and has made enough contributions to charity

You seem to dislike him for the fact that he landed the role that was aspired by millions. It's not his fault that the producers and JKR believed that he fit the role perfectly. The kids say it's fun because it's a positive publicity for the movie and the staff. Under British laws (correct me if I am wrong), a minor cannot be made to work more than 5 hours a day, explaining in part why the movies take much longer time to film (aside from special effects). If you feel salaries are crazy, what are you going to do about it? If you feel it's so easy, kindly go ahead and audition for the next movie when those open. Please do not begrudge any one for their success, instead try and emulate that if possible.

Amen, Mayfair!

Not that I'm famous, but I've had a friend who is, and it can be very hard! He's had his privacy invaded, his phones bugged, people trailing him, his girlfriend, everything. He can't go anywhere without bodyguards. Every move he makes is reported on. He has more money than most people could ever spend, but no anonimity, and no real freedom.

While it probably isn't quite as bad for the Harry Potter actors, there are times when they need help and/or protection, and someone has to pay for that--they do. I think the money is a fair exchange. It will give them the best financial base possible if they decide they don't want to pursue acting in adulthood, or if their acting careers have ups-and-downs, and most do! I don't begrudge them a penny, they earned it.

do you seriously think that actors that made their debut in Harry Potter and have maybe made one or two movies more complain about getting 125 000 pounds....you have to start somewhere and Dan was already acting before Harry Potter so..I guess they know how much they should get and if it bothered them they wouldn't be acting anymore in HP or they would be getting more by now, wouldn't they?
