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”. 

Emma Watson looks stunning in unusual graphic cut-out dress at The People's Choice Awards

It was a night of undoubted glamour.

And British actress Emma Watson certainly flew the flag for the UK at The People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening in a very short graphic cut-out dress which accentuated her slender figure.

Emma, 22, opted for an unusual thigh skimming Peter Pilotto dress for the glitzy awards bash, where she picked up Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress for movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The Harry Potter actress looked delighted to pick up an award at the ceremony, which is known as the younger, funkier sibling of the Golden Globes and the Oscars.

And during the ceremony, nerves obviously high the young actress was seen cosying up to Wallflower co-star Ezra Miller, who looked dashing in a grey suit.

Emma Watson stopped by US border officials

According to The Sunday People, the 22-year-old 'Harry Potter' star singled out after landing at New York's JFK airport and told she should be accompanied by an adult.

The flustered actress, who was eventually waved through and managed to laugh off the incident, later revealed that she is often mistaken for a kid and blamed the fact she was wearing a schoolgirl-style backpack.

According to a source, Watson was mortified, and not only did they not recognise her, they thought she was a child. It was very embarrassing but she managed to awkwardly laugh it off.

The British actress, who recently finished filming her latest movie 'This Is The End', later told of her embarrassment on Twitter.

"Passport control: 'Unaccompanied minor?' Me: 'Sorry?' Passport control: 'Where is ur guardian?' Me: 'I'm 22!!!!!!!' #neverwearingabackpackagain," the Mirror quoted her as tweeting.

"The really sad thing is that this is not the first time this has happened," she added.

The star was returning to the US where she was expected to continue her studies at Brown University, Rhode Island.

Daniel Radcliffe needs rehab

DANIEL Radcliffe is back boozing up a storm and his friends are pleading with him to check into rehab.

The actor — who had two hard-earned years of sobriety until he began hitting the bottle about a month ago — is said to be in a bad place.

Dan’s drinking recently culminated in a drunken argument with a DJ at a New York City club.

“In my opinion, Danie’s back where he started,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“When he drinks, he gets carried away, and that’s exactly what happened to him in New York.”

Daniel — who shot to fame playing boy wizard Harry Potter in the popular film franchise — admitted he had a drinking problem and gave up booze in 2010.

“He knows he shouldn’t drink, so this incident was an eye-opening relapse,” said the source.

“Daniel is very embarrassed and even considered going back tot he club to apologize.

“His friends want him to get into an established booze rehab — and cut out drinking for good.”

Emma Watson moves on from fashion

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is cutting her ties with the fashion world so she can focus entirely on her acting career.

Emma has previously served as the face of fashion firm Burberry and cosmetic company Lancome, and she recently teamed up with fair trade corporation People Tree as a creative advisor and helped in designing two clothing ranges.

Now, the 22-year-old insists she is taking a step back from the industry in a bid to concentrate on her chosen profession - acting.

"It was fun when I was younger, but I don't think it will be quite as much part of my future, honestly. Now that I know acting is the thing I want to do, that's more where my passion is and my focus is," contactmusic.com quoted Watson as saying.

"I still find fashion very interesting, but it's quite full-on. I am finding more and more that I don't want to wear a dress and heavy make-up. I want to wear jeans more. It's quite intense to do it all the time," she said.

Daniel Radcliffe smokes cigarettes in non-smoking hotels

"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe frequently puffs cigarettes while in non-smoking hotels to avoid the ranks of photographers waiting outside.

The 23-year-old actor is adamant that he hates exploiting his fame to get special privileges but says it comes in useful when he wants to indulge his nicotine habit in public buildings, reported Daily Star.

"They let me do it here so that I don't have to stand outside. There will be photographers, not for me, but just because they hang around smart hotels... 

It's pretty much the only thing I exploit my position for, to be allowed to smoke inside," he said.

Actor Daniel Radcliffe reportedly wants to star in 20th Century Fox's untitled Frankenstein project.

The 23-year-old is reportedly interested in portraying the lead character, Hunchback, in the movie adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel, reported Aceshowbiz.

Nothing is finalised about the "Kill Your Darlings" actor's involvement since a script needs to be finalized first before serious talks will begin with any potential cast.

Hunchback itself is described as "pathologically dirty and dressed in old clowns clothing."

Fox's Frankenstein is aimed to be a "sci-fi take on this classic story about a creature produced through a scientific experiment."

Max Landis is tapped to pen the script, while Paul McGuigan is on board to direct the film.

Several other "Frankenstein" projects are currently in development, including Lionsgate's "I, Frankenstein". The horror film is set for a September 13, 2013 release in the US with Aaron Eckhart playing the titular character.

Emma Watson afraid to go out alone

Emma Watson says she is too famous to go out in public.

The actress struggles to go anywhere unrecognised since finding fame with the hit Harry Potter film franchise. Emma can no longer enjoy outings to exhibitions or galleries as she is likely to be swamped by fans.

The 22-year-old says it just takes one eagle eyed member of the public to spot her and chaos erupts.

"If I went somewhere busy, I wouldn't last very long. I can't go to a museum, I'll last ten or 15 minutes in a museum," Watson revealed to The New York Times Style magazine.

"The problem is that when one person asks for a photograph, then someone sees a flash goes off, then everyone else sort of... it's sort of like a domino effect."

The notoriously shy star cannot handle being mobbed by the public. She finds this prospect particularly scary when she is alone. As a result Watson avoids putting herself in situations where this could happen.

"Then very quickly the situation starts to get out of control to a point where I can't manage it on my own," Emma nervously continued to explain.

Daniel Radcliffe works his magic with a mystery brunette ... but what will girlfriend Rosie Coker say?

Does this spell the end of Daniel Radcliffe's romance with long term girlfriend Rosie Coker?

The Harry Potter star was spotted arm-in-arm with a pretty girl during a night out in Chelsea last week.

He was snapped outside the Aztec Latin Lounge by himself, but later in the evening he was joined by the mystery brunette - who seemed more than happy to snuggle up the star.

Radcliffe later moved on to Raffles, a private members club on the King's Road. 

An onlooker told the Daily Star: 'She initially did everything she could not to be seen with Daniel but she probably realised there wasn’t much point in trying to hide. She then went to the other extreme and linked arms – making it look like they’re a couple. 

'Daniel looked really relaxed and happy with her – it was obvious they’d had a nice evening together.

Anyone who didn’t know he had a girlfriend might have thought it was a date.'

Radcliffe had dressed casually for the evening, wearing a baseball cap, jeans, a checked shirt and suit jacket.

He also hasn't appeared to have shaved for a few days, completing the dressed down look.

His companion however opted for a smarter look, wearing a petty dark top and black jeans. 

Radcliffe began dating production assistant Coker last summer, but it was also reported last month that their relationship has ended after he was spotted with another girl.

Emma Watson denies being cast in '50 Shades'

Emma Watson has denied rumours that she is going to play Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades Of Grey.

Watson, who claims to have had nobody approach her about the project, admitted that she hasn't even read the book.

"I haven't read the book, I haven't a read a script, nothing," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Entertainment Weekly.

"There are so many movies you become attached to when I've literally never even received a phone call.

"It was the same way with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - I never even saw a script!'

The actress, who enchanted viewers as a young wizard in Harry Potter, claimed that the hype around the raunchy role became so much that she even had to tell family and close friends that she was not going to do it.

"I told them just because there are 60 articles on the Internet doesn't mean it's any less true than if there are three or four.

Daniel Radcliffe to star in romantic comedy

Former "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe has signed on his first romantic comedy, titled "F Word".

The 22-year-old actor will play the main lead opposite actress Zoe Kazan - who stars in 2007 comedy drama "The Savages" and Joss Whedon's latest project "In Your Eyes", reported Sun online.

"F Word" tells the story of a young pair - 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 TJ 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, Radcliffe 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.

Harry Potter's Rupert Grint Set To Carry Olympic Torch

Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint is set to join in the Olympic celebrations by carrying the torch through Barnet on July 25.

The star will join athlete Daley Thompson, Olympic badminton silver medallist Nathan Robertson and 1966 World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks as the torch passes past Wembley Arena, Middlesex University and Barnet.

The actor is best known for his role in the hit 'Harry Potter' movies, in which he plays Harry's best friend and fellow wizard Ron Weasley.

After Grint's stint the torch will pass by St Paul's Cathedral, the Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Chelsea FC's Stamford Bridge ground, Trafalgar Square, Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and a party in Hyde Park, with fundraiser and comedian David Walliams amongst the torch bearers.

Daniel Radcliffe to play a supernatural murder suspect in Horns

The Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has signed on to the supernatural thriller Horns, based on the novel by Joe Hill and to be directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D). The film will see Radcliffe in a darker role: his character wakes up one day to find himself accused of his girlfriend's rape and murder. On top of that, he has sprouted horns that grant him all kinds of powers. Shooting is scheduled to begin in September.

Daniel Radcliffe to turn to the dark side

Daniel Radcliffe is about to plunge into the dark side again.

Fresh off his horror hit The Woman In Black, Radcliffe will once again do his best to avoid typecasting by playing a suspected murderer and rapist in the movie, Horns.

Radcliffe signed onto the project Friday, the film's co-producers Red Granite and Mandalay Pictures said.

Based on a novel by Joe Hill, Horns follows Ig Perrish (Radcliffe), who not only wakes up with a raging hangover to find out he not only is suspected of murdering his girlfriend, but has a pair of horns growing out of his head. He discovers his new head-gear has the power to make people confess their sins and give-in to their most unspeakable impulses.

Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) will direct from an adapted screenplay by Keith Bunin (In Treatment).

Riza Aziz, Joey McFarland, Mandalay Pictures President Cathy Schulman and Adam Stone will produce. Joe Hill and Red Granite's Joe Gatta are executive producers.

Principal photography is set to begin this fall. Red Granite Pictures' international sales arm will handle foreign sales for the film.

Daniel Radcliffe Joins Alexandre Aja's 'Horns'

For any Daniel Radcliffe fans concerned about his post-'Harry Potter' career, don't worry, he's going to be just fine. Earlier this year, the actor helped bring the modest, period-based Hammer horror pic "The Woman In Black" to over $120 million worldwide. And while his next effort is the indie Beat drama "Kill Your Darlings," where he takes on the role of Allen Ginsberg, it looks like the actor is hoping to replicate his genre success with another project.

Radcliffe has come on board Alexandre Aja's "Horns." The film, which has been developing for a while and originally had Shia LaBeouf in the lead role, is based on the book by Joe Hill, and boasts an intriguing premise. Penned by Keith Bunin ("In Treatment") the story follows a man accused of raping and murdering his girlfriend, who wakes up one morning to find literal horns growing out of his head. They give him the ability to make people confess their sins, a powerful tool he will use in trying to find out who really committed the crime. Our own Drew Taylor who read the novel called it "a cool-ass book full of wonderful characters and vivid flashbacks that really gets under your skin" so it seems like some great source material. And no matter how you feel about Aja, there's no denying his voice is distinct, and frankly, this might be the most promising project he's been on since "Haute Tension."

Red Granite Pictures -- who are also behind Martin Scorsese's upcoming "The Wolf Of Wall Street" -- are producing the flick, with production to gear up this fall. We can't wait for set pics of horned-up Radcliffe to hit. 

Daniel Radcliffe's new movie 'too scary' for kids

Daniel Radcliffe's first film since the 'Harry Potter' series has received more complaints than any other movie this year, after parents complained that it was "too scary" for their children.

Children more used to seeing Radcliffe at Hogwarts instead found themselves watching 'The Woman in Black,' a 12A-rated horror film in which a ghost manipulates children into killing themselves.

The horror film has already been reported to the British Board of Film Classification 120 times, triple the number of reports for last-years' most complained-about film.

A spokeswoman for the BBFC said viewers had "certain expectations" about films starring Daniel Radcliffe, who starred as Harry Potter in the children's films, and found it "too scary".

The 'Woman in Black' is rated a 12A, the same classification as the final instalment of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.'

It is believed many of the viewers did not realise how frightening the film would be, after failing to read the Susan Hill novel or the BBFC classification details.

The majority of complaints have been filed by worried parents, or adults without children concerned the film was not suitable for youngsters.

The film stars Radcliffe as a young lawyer visiting a remote village terrorised by a vengeful ghost, and is described as an "intense supernatural threat and horror".

The main gist of the complaints was that people felt it was too scary for a 12A," the Telegraph quoted a spokeswoman for BBFC as saying.

"People have a certain expectations about films with Daniel Radcliffe in them," she said

She added that the BBFC provides full information about every film and its classification, including descriptions of the key scenes.

The entry for the Woman in Black says: "The general tone of the film is quite bleak and the premise of a ghost manipulating children into harming or killing themselves, make this a potentially disturbing feature for young children."

Last year, the Oscar-winning film Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman as a ballet dancer, received 40 complaints, including several from viewers who thought the dark tale of a ballet dancer struggling with mental illness would be about dance.

'Batman: The Dark Knight,' a 2008 film with Christian Bale in the lead role, received more than 300 complaints, making it the most complained-about film in the last decade.
