Daniel Radcliffe is commonly ranked as the richest member of the principal Harry Potter child cast, but published estimates differ: Parade put his net worth at $120 million in its 2026 article, while Bustle estimated $110 million in an article updated February 20, 2024. These are entertainment-publication estimates, not audited financial disclosures. The ranking below uses Bustle’s dated estimates for a broader selection of cast members and identifies Parade’s different figures where available.
How this Harry Potter cast ranking is scoped
The official Wizarding World feature calls Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, and Tom Felton the franchise’s “Big Seven.” This article ranks a selected ensemble rather than every performer in the films. Bustle’s article was updated February 20, 2024; its estimates are not a single, independently audited dataset. Wizarding World’s Big Seven feature identifies the principal child cast and their roles.
Harry Potter cast net worth estimates, ranked
The table uses Bustle’s February 20, 2024 update as the consistent basis for this selected ranking. Parade’s 2026 estimates are included for the four actors for whom Bustle and Parade figures are available; where no Parade figure is supplied, the table says so rather than implying agreement.
| Rank by Bustle estimate | Actor | Bustle estimate | Parade estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) | $110 million (updated February 20, 2024) | $120 million (2026 article) |
| 2 | Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) | $85 million (updated February 20, 2024) | $85 million (2026 article) |
| 3 | Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) | $50 million (updated February 20, 2024) | $50 million (2026 article) |
| 4 | Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) | $50 million (updated February 20, 2024) | not stated in the cited Parade comparison |
| 5 | Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) | $20 million (updated February 20, 2024) | not stated in the cited Parade comparison |
| 6 | Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore) | $20 million (updated February 20, 2024) | not stated in the cited Parade comparison |
| 7 | Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) | $12 million (updated February 20, 2024) | not stated in the cited Parade comparison |
| 8 | Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) | $20 million (updated February 20, 2024) | $10 million (2026 article) |
| 9 | Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) | $10 million (updated February 20, 2024) | not stated in the cited Parade comparison |
| 10 | Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) | $4 million (updated February 20, 2024) | not stated in the cited Parade comparison |
Rank order follows Bustle’s estimates, so Ralph Fiennes ties with Rupert Grint at $50 million, and Maggie Smith and Michael Gambon tie with Tom Felton at $20 million. Parade and Bustle agree on Watson and Grint, but their Radcliffe figures differ by $10 million and their Felton figures by $10 million in the opposite direction. Those differences are a reminder that these numbers are estimates, not reconciled accounts. Bustle’s cast estimate article was updated February 20, 2024; Parade’s Radcliffe net-worth article is its 2026 estimate source.

Who is the richest Harry Potter actor?
Among the cast members listed here, Daniel Radcliffe ranks first in both cited estimate sets: Parade’s 2026 article gives $120 million, and Bustle’s February 20, 2024 update gives $110 million. That supports the narrower conclusion that he leads these published estimates—not a claim that his finances have been publicly audited or that every actor in the complete film cast has been compared on one method.
Net worth is not the same as Harry Potter pay
A net-worth estimate is an outlet’s approximation of assets minus liabilities. It is not interchangeable with a salary, annual earnings, a film’s box-office revenue, a business’s assets, or a tax transaction. The reported pay figures below are historical context only and should not be added to the estimates in the ranking.
Rank #2
- 11-Film Collection
- Blu-ray
- Bonus Content
- Radcliffe’s franchise earnings: Parade’s 2026 article reports an estimated $95.6 million in total Harry Potter franchise earnings, attributing that figure to Celebrity Net Worth. Franchise earnings are not present-day net worth. Parade
- Watson’s annual earnings: Bustle reports that Forbes put her 2017 earnings at $14 million and ranked her sixth among that year’s highest-paid actresses. That is a single historical year, not a current wealth figure. Bustle
- Watson’s film fees: Bustle cites The Hollywood Reporter’s reported $60 million in fees for her Harry Potter films. Bustle does not establish this as an independently audited total compensation disclosure. Bustle
What Rupert Grint’s tribunal case does—and does not—show
A 2024 First-tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) decision records a historical transaction involving total consideration of £8,586,814.10. The amount included £4.5 million attributed to rights, records, and goodwill, plus £4,086,814 attributed to work in progress. The tribunal record describes the £4.5 million element as fixed consideration for rights, records, and goodwill, with a valuation projected using expected Harry Potter residuals. It is evidence about that transaction and its tax treatment, not a present-day net-worth figure or proof of a verified ongoing annual royalty stream. Read the First-tier Tribunal decision in Grint v Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

The cited publications do not provide a common audited method for valuing every actor’s assets and liabilities. Their figures also have different publication dates, and even two outlets can disagree about the same person. The ranking is therefore best understood as a comparison of published estimates, not a definitive statement of anyone’s current finances. A separate 2026 model from Net Worth Explained is another estimate source, not independent verification of a comparable cast-wide dataset. Net Worth Explained’s 2026 model.
