The Harry Potter film series may be over, but the magic hasn’t ended for its young co-stars, with the three making the list of the ten richest young actors in the UK.
Star actor Daniel Radcliffe, 22, tops the list with £54million, bumping up his wealth by £6million in the last year, helped by the success of his latest movie, the gothic thriller The Woman in Black.
Fellow Potter actors Emma Watson and Rupert Grint make the list at five and six respectively, with £26million and £24million.

Perhaps the least-known entrant is Kiera Chaplin, the model granddaughter of silent movie giant Charlie.
She has appeared in a number of low-budget films, has modelled since the age of 16 and owns a 30 per cent stake in a Hollywood production company.
Model Lily Cole comes in at seventh place with £8million, up from £6million in 2011, the first of four actor-models who make up the remainder of the top ten.
In joint eighth place is Sarah Harding, new entry Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Kimberley Walsh.
Huntington-Whiteley has been signed to American lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret since 2006 and acted in Transformers: Dark of the Moon last year.
