Are you gearing yourself up to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1? A lot of you have spent a lot of money watching the films of the children’s fantasy books, making the actors on the franchise very wealthy indeed!
And now, Emma Watson wants to tell us about her riches. A few years ago, when she was 17 or 18 (aka, the time when people stopped feeling quite so guilty about the impure thoughts they’d had about her) when her dad sat her down for ‘The Chat’.
Of course, when our parents sit us down to have ‘The Chat’ with us, it usually involves condom advice… however, when you’re Emma Watson, it involves your parents telling you how puke-inducingly wealthy you’ve become.
Up to that point, Watson had been living off a rather nice $75 per week (hecklerspray didn’t get spends at all, which saw us stealing money from mum’s purse or looking for change in phone boxes). However, the time had come to tell her about the sensitive subject of her actually being a millionaire.
Watson says:
“By the third or fourth film, the money was starting to get serious”
“I had no idea. I felt sick, very emotional.”
So how much money would it take you to nearly be sick? Well, if you’re Emma Watson, then it’s being worth around $32 million. This also means that, reportedly, she’s the highest paid woman in Hollywood. How do you like them apples?
Of course, now that her contract is up with the Harry Potter franchise, she went and chopped off all of her hair into a very cool Mia Farrow pixie cut.
So what now for the actress? Drink and drugs binges to give us yet another story of a child actress going nutso? Well, that seems incredibly unlikely as she’s irritatingly grounded. Probably thanks to her meagre allowance when she was younger.
Still, there’s hope because the young actress has gone to university where she is currently a sophomore at Brown University in Rhode Island, getting a degree in art and literature. Student life is definitely conducive to necking bottles of cheapo cider and getting love-bites off ne’er-do-wells.
Alas, she’s wealthy enough to never work again, so we can only hope she turns into some bonkers eccentric with a coat made out of live snakes and glasses made from Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles.
‘Til then, you’ll just have to ogle her in the new Harry Potter films and the endless merchandise that comes out just in time for Christmas.
Dirty sods.

When her “talk” happened she realized it was about sex that’s why she felt ill. She knows whenever she has sex with a guy, she’ll be wondering if he’s boning her or her money.

Poor, hold it… rich, girl. I do believe that she found, though she wasn’t looking all that much, a fountain of money. Well grounded, indeed, she appears to be (and Yoda did, it was, that sentence wrote). I say hats-off, and a chocolate chip cookie for Emma! That said, she’ll never be near Nat Portman in the measure of thespian ability. Will she ever be near Nat Portman in lezbian ability, is a question for the great Internet Unwashed to decide.
