  • Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, Domhnall Gleeson and Rupert Grint got their start in the blockbuster films, which also inspired Universal Studios’ Wizarding World and the Pottermore website
  • Established stars Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter and Maggie Smith also made handsome sums from roles in the beloved series

It’s been 20 long years since we last saw teenaged Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger enjoying butterbeers in Hogsmer after their classes at Hogwarts. But rejoice, Warner Bros recently announced that the cast will reunite for an anniversary special to be released in January 2022.

The films – based on the now-controversial author J.K. Rowling’s books – became a blockbuster global franchise that has earned more than US$7.7 billion since its launch in 2001, according to Forbes.

Since the last film, the original cast has gone to star in other successful films and TV series, while some have even cemented themselves among Hollywood’s top-paid stars. As we gear up for the reunion, we can’t help but wonder: who are the wealthiest former Harry Potter stars today? Here’s a look , ordered according to Celebrity Net Worth and other number-crunching sites.
