| | |  Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint & Emma Watson on Empire magazine list
Actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have made Empire magazine's 20 Stars Who Weren't Even Born When Empire Started list. Dan came in at number one; Rupert at number ten; and Emma at nineteen.
As to why the trio were chosen, Empire said: Quote: 1. Daniel Radcliffe
You know him from: A little series called Harry Potter; December Boys.
Why's he good? Because he brought one of the world's most popular characters to life over five movies (to date) and has largely been acclaimed for his efforts.
Will he have an adult career? Well, if he doesn't he'll still never have to worry about money, which is something, but the endlessly curious Radcliffe has barely gotten started on an adult career. His decisions outside of Potter - TV drama like My Boy Jack, his stage turn in Equus - suggest that he's not one to be typecast, and will be pushing boundaries for some time to come.
Quote: 10. Rupert Grint
You know him from: Driving Lessons. And there was that little role in Harry Potter.
Why's he good? He's supported Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter through thick and thin, and has a likable everyman quality which should allow him to avoid typecasting.
Will he have an adult career? Well, so far out of the HP triumvirate Grint has the most solo-projects under his belt. That said, he is ginger, and anti-redhead sentiment remains the last socially acceptable prejudice, so he'll have to keep working at it.
Quote: 19. Emma Watson
You know her from: HP Alumnus, Ballet Shoes.
Why's she good? Having grown up on the big screen as struggling muggle-born Hermione Granger, Watson has shouldered immense pressure to come out smelling of roses. Now she has started to make a niche for herself outside of the franchise with a leaning towards costume dramas and a rumoured leading role in Napoleon and Betsy.
Will she have an adult career? Will she want one? Judging by her sickeningly good exam results and place at Cambridge, she may crave something a bit more challenging.

great compliments to the trio. Surely though, Rupert would have been born, he's almost 21 and Empire are just celebrating their 20th year?

Yea, I think Dan is okay with the type cast thing, since he is also involved in major productions. Sure, he will always be known as Harry Potter, but I believe he is in safe water.
Not sure about Rupert Grint, I think he is in the most danger with the type casting just because he hasn't been in a lot of other things.
Emma Watson (from reading interviews and such) shows more interest in school and maybe doing something else besides acting. She might even do both (wish I hope!) I believe she is safe though too.
Of course, everyone will remember them from Harry Potter, but if they put themselves in other major movies or productions, I believe they can convince us otherwise  | |

Since they started the Potter movies, Rupert's done the most features outside of the series (at four), while Dan's done three (unless you count his Extras cameo), and Emma two. Plus, given what Rupert's filmed, type-casting won't be a huge issue.

YaY Dan is #1!!! Awwww, I thought for sure Emma was going to want to come to the US to go to college. I think she would have a better chance of getting movie roles over here.

I think so. There's no need to say that he's "in danger".

I think that whatever these three, and any of the other young stars associated with Potter, decide to do.... they will do great. I think Potter has taught MOST of them a great work ethic and given them dedication most people there age still thrive to discover. I think they are all talented and intelligent and wish them all the best of luck Post-Potter(it hurts to say Post-Potter..... I DON'T WANT IT TO END!!!).
Congrats on the list all of you!!

I think whoever wrote "I hope she (Emma) quits acting" is totally wrong...even though she is a genius and would do great in college, she is an Excellent actor, and I really love her..all of three of them totally deserve to be on that list...great job, guys!!!  | |

I never knew about redhead prejudice until I became a huge fan of Rupert. It's really weird. I don't really get normal prejudice either so go figure. I think Rupert is talented enough to overcome this prejudice.

I think so. There's no need to say that he's "in danger". I didn't mean that he didn't have the talent, because he certainly does! I was referring more to how movies have a "red head stereotype". Also, he hasn't done anything BOLD I suppose, like Daniel getting naked on stage.
Emma has the advantage because she is an attractive young woman, so she is already a targeted actress.
But yea, I love Rupert, and I hope he escapes the Typecasting alive! | |

Congrats on the list all of you!! Nicely said!!! Couldn't have said it any better. It is apparent that they do have a life outside of HP and that shows. If it's in the movies, or more academic like Emma, that's okay too. I think they can do anything they want. More power to them! | |
