A young man Daniel Radcliffe was cast at age 12 to star in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”‘, the first film adaptation of JK Rowling’s fantasy novels of the same name. This first tape gave the boy the opportunity to win a great fortune that few have at his age.
When Daniel Radcliffe was chosen to be the lead actor in the “Harry Potter” saga.’, the child actor had barely participated in any plays and the occasional television series or film, since starting his career at the age of five. This short trajectory was not a hindrance so much that the check to be cashed in the adaptation of Jk Rowling’s novels had few zeros in the bill.
According to the Celebrity Net Worth portal, Daniel Radcliffe raised $ 1 million for “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”‘. While the figure may seem very small for an actor, it’s actually quite juicy for a 12-year-old boy who was just starting his acting career.
The amount to act in the entire “Harry Potter” saga increased with each episode and at the end, Daniel Radcliffe made a total raise of $ 119 million for all his involvement in each of the eight original films in the successful Wizarding World franchise.
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: $ 1 million
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: $ 3 million
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: $ 6 million
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: $ 11 million
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: $ 14 million
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: $ 24 million
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 – $ 50 million
This was Daniel Radcliffe’s casting for “Harry Potter”
How Daniel Radcliffe ended up being the protagonist of the “Harry Potter” saga was very curious, because originally his parents didn’t want him to even think about auditioning. It all happened after the child actor appeared in “El Sastre Panama” with Geoffrey Rush and Jamie Lee Curtis in 2000, the latter actress told the boy that they would open auditions for “The Philosopher’s Stone” and that she was a good idea to appear .. he told his parents and they rejected the idea.
Daniel Radcliffe’s parents didn’t want him to be Harry Potter because they thought he could be a pressure and a burden for a young child like him. However, sometime later producer David Heyman went to see him in a comedy and appeared with him to propose the role and convinced his parents to let him audition with the promise that he would find a way to stop the media from invade it. That’s how it went.
JK Rowling was the one who ended up giving the green light to casting and thus became the most famous magician in modern cinema, and also one of the most successful and millionaire actors of her age, as few made a million dollars in the his first film and then more than 100 million dollars with an entire saga.
