Dan Radcliffe ranks #70 on Forbes Celebrity 100

Forbes has released their list of the Most Powerful Celebrities, and Harry Potter's Dan Radcliffe comes in at #70: The 19-year-old continues to rake in $25 million each time he dons his circular glasses to play Harry Potter. The sixth installment of the franchise hits theaters in late July. Radcliffe has two more films to go; the final book was split in two movies. It remains to be seen if he can become a box-office draw outside of the Warner Bros. fantasy blockbusters. Thanks to Alexis for the tip!

Hmm cant say whether this is a fair rating or not. Seeing as the HP movies are like the biggest of all time with the largest following and the most popular book of all time, I am sure Dan is far more popular than many of these other actors and actresses on this list, but hey, if they say hes #70 then weve got to accept it.

$25 million a movie is about the same amount as many famous actors in Hollywood. Not bad.

If he could only give me a mill...

Dan is listed not just because of HP - and remember there hasnt a HP film released since summer 2007 - hes listed because of Equus as well. This is why Emma and Rupert arent on the list - because they didnt work enough last year or garner the same attention/earnings. @Ruubski - Ill queue right behind you for the million handout - actually even a couple thousand would be suffice.

Hold up, just a question... how did Mrs. Rowling not make the list? Do the people on the list have to have had a major cash-in within the past year? Because shes supposed to be very rich. idk.

If you read the whole article, its pretty clear that its about income and celebrity hype during a specific window of time. JK - no book. But Stephanie Myer, author of you-know-what, made it this time. But Jolie is top, and Penn & Teller are in there too... so essentially this list has meaning only for the industry that drives it - not so much a nod to character, value, or talent. (or brother Radcliffe would be much higher on the list!) :-)

I could only wish to see $25 million total in my entire lifetime. Sigh, off to find that magical winning lottery ticket.

Is it just me or did EVERYBODY know that they were splitting up the last book into 2 movies? Am I just THAT out of it? Now Im upset, I want 1 movie! It was 1 book! They are so retarded!

It says that its remained to be seen whether he is as good outside the HP series...but hasnt he proved himself with Equus? Or had Forbes not heard about that?

hermionerocks96, if they made Deathly Hallows into one movie, it would either be super crappy or it would be 7hrs long. There is no way they can fit the whole book into one watchable movie. And they cant cut much out of this book (unlike the others) because almost everything that happens in this book is essential to the story.

i agree with pure_blood_princess you got a god point GO DAN!!!!!!!!!!

L0L @Ann.. i Love how you refer to stephenie meyers work as "you-know-what".. oNLy, it might be mistaken as a feared thing.. lol.. @hermionerocks: that news came out AGES ago.. and why would you wish that its only one movie, do you know that they actually considered cutting the DEATHLY HALLOWS PART out to make just one movie...!? Luckily, they realized its impossible and decided to make two movies instead, w/c for me is better b/c it would mean less cuts or n0ne at all..

Yay Dan!!!! I think all of the trio should be on there...but Dan is great! I LOVE HIM!!! It kind of sucks that JK Rowling isnt on there though. I mean what the hell is up with that?! But one of my other favorite celebrities (Angelina JOlie) is Numero UNO!!! Yes!
