Daniel Radcliffe $25 Million Per Movie

Daniel Radcliffe $25 Million Per Movie, Daniel Radcliffe has signed a $50 million deal to star in the final two Harry Potter films.

He will be paid $25 million to shoot penultimate book Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, and the same amount for the movie of J.K. Rowling’s Potter finale, The Deathly Hallows.

Of course, after taxes, commissions to lawyers, agents and managers, he won’t see that much of the cash, but it at least allows him to explore and experiment with his acting.

The money’s also a nod towards the fact that the studio can’t do the next Harry Potters without him – plus an acknowledgement that the boy wizard tag could harm him in the future.

In any event, he’s cleverly carving out a post-Potter career and, as he proved with Equus on the London stage this year, he’s serious about his chosen profession.

Daniel didn’t miss a single performance at the Gielgud Theatre, insisting he go on even when incapacitated with flu.

All his preparation to play the troubled teenager Alan Strang in Equus (over a year before he did it on stage) informs his work – his best to date – on the latest Potter movie, The Order Of The Phoenix.

As I watched the film, I sensed a certain stirring quality about it and I kept thinking of Shakespeare’s Henry V, particularly when Harry talks in the film about having “something worth fighting for”.
