Daniel Radcliffe earned 17 mn pounds last year

“Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe reportedly earned a profit of 17 million pounds from his work last year.

The company that manages his assets, including all Potter-related earnings, is now worth 48 million pounds – up from 31.2 million pounds in 2011, reports thesun.co.uk.

“He’s very savvy with money and is worth far more than many successful actors twice his age. Hollywood has been a big earner for him. But Daniel’s gone further and sunk that capital into shares and property. He’s been the same way throughout his career,” a source said.

Radcliffe was last seen in “The Woman In Black”. His next film will be a thriller titled “Horns”. 

Daniel Radcliffe Signs Up for Romantic Comedy F Word

Daniel Radcliffe has signed up for romantic comedy 'F Word' alongside US actress Zoe Kazan.

Daniel Radcliffe has signed up for romantic comedy 'F Word'.

The 'Woman in Black' actor will star opposite US actress Zoe Kazan - who stars in 2007 comedy drama 'The Savages' and Joss Whedon's latest project 'In Your Eyes' - with 'Goon' helmer Michael Dowse in line to direct the motion picture.

The film tells the story of a pair of twentysomethings - Wallace (Daniel) and Chantry (Zoe) - who hit it off after meeting at a party, but they are forced to keep their relationship platonic and decide to just be friends because Zoe's alter-ego has a long-term boyfriend.

'F Word' is based on the play 'Toothpaste and Cigars' by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, with production set to begin mid-August in Toronto.

Elan Mastai is penning the script for the movie, with David Gross and Jesse Shapira set to produce along with Marc Stephenson and Hartley Gorenstein.

Since starring in eight 'Harry Potter' movies, Daniel has taken on much darker roles, such as portraying a lawyer who uncovers a terrifying secret in 'Woman in Black', and he is starring in drama project 'Kill Your Darlings' next year.

Daniel Radcliffe felt very relieved when 'Woman in Black' did so well at the box office

When asked if he was relieved about the film's success, Daniel said: "Absolutely. Yeah, I've never known, really, what it's like to have a film come out where you feel a lot of pressure around the release. And obviously in 'Potter' it was always a question of how big the film was gonna be. So to have a film where you really don't know how it's going to do opening weekend and where you're being released with a load of other films and you haven't got that massively recognisable brand that obviously 'Potter'. had. So you're gonna have to scrap from recognition among those other films." 

Daniel also says it was very "gratifying" knowing audiences were starting to accept him playing other characters rather than Harry Potter. 

 He told Collider.com: "I think it's a testament to the quality of the movie that people not only went and saw it the first weekend but, particularly in the UK, went back for weeks and weeks to see it. And it was great, and for me personally, to see that people will still come out to support a film that I'm in that is not Harry Potter in that they did was just amazing. And I feel I worked hard on the film, both in the actual filming and then in the promotion of it, so it was lovely to see all that work rewarded. It was very gratifying, actually."
