Actually nobody in the Potter World has made enough outside of it to get on the Rich List. While Emma has done quite a bit of modelling recently, Lily Cole who modelled at the top level for several years before going to Cambridge is on the List with 'only' about £4m. There's no way, Emma could have earned enough part-time to equal that, especially as she doesn't do endorsements, and the Chanel thing didn't happen. Dan has been successful in the theatre, but that's for prestige and experience (both very good things!), films are usually where enough is earned to make the millions needed to get on this list.

I don't have it with me now, so some of these figures are dependent on memory, but on Sunday I read The Sunday Times Rich List magazine from cover to cover. Rupert Grint IS on it with £9m as opposed to Emma's £12m. I wasn't convinced as to why there was a difference between their figures, especially as in the earlier films it was believed that he was earning more. The reason he hasn't been mentioned in these reports is the same as the reason he was frequently not in headlines about the recent filming in London - for better or worse he's just less known by, and therefore mentioned by, the press. So when he's not mentioned, it shouldn't be taken as proof he's not involved.

I also wasn't convinced of the amount that JKR was said to have earned, though their reasoning as to the amount given to charity DID ring true - and was very admirable.

As very few of the rich themselves actually co-operate with these figures they should be taken with a pile of salt - it's about 60% guesswork, but it's fair to say that being closely linked to Harry Potter is good for the Bank Balance!
