The eighth (and last) Harry Potter flick wrapped production earlier this month, and the young stars all have post-Hogwarts plans. They are actors, after all.

At least one has been making good money standing still and looking hot for Burberry, and you should be able to catch them all on the big screen, bearing props that are definitely not wands:

For example, the lead actor in all eight of the Harry Potter movies, Daniel Radcliffe, is attached to do a war picture that does not involve Death Eaters but rather, simply, death. He’s signed on to play the lead, Paul Baumer, in a remake of the World War I picture All’s Quiet on the Western Front. (“Daniel brings a vulnerability and innocence to Paul,” producer Ian Stokell told Variety last month.)

The last time the movie was made, it was in 1930, and it won Best Picture, and even portkeys hadn’t been invented yet, and I’ll try to stop now.

Onward to Emma Watson aka Hermione Granger.

The final Potter film recently wrapped filming, and she has no movie projects officially announced. Then again, she doesn’t need any, given that she, along with fellow actor Rupert Grint reportedly earned $30 million—apiece—for their appearances in the two-part Potter finale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (Radcliffe got $40 million, plus $1 million for his image on merchandise, according to Vanity Fair.)

Right now, Watson has told interviewers, she wants to concentrate on the student life, hence no new flicks, at least, not right now.

That isn’t to say she hasn’t eyeballed some scripts.

“The scripts all have happy endings, they’re really badly written and they are sending them to an English literature student,” she complained to London’s Daily Mail.

Now let’s talk Rupert Grint. You know, Ron Weasley.

While Radcliffe will be slogging through the Battle of Verdun, Grint will be leaping in the snow in an upcoming comedy currently in pre-production. Dubbed Eddie the Eagle, the comedy tells the true story of England’s first contender for an Olympic ski jumping title. It’s in pre-production.

That may not sound like much, relatively, but Grint may end up with the biggest career out of the three. Why? Get this: Martin Scorsese really, really likes him.

“I thought he was great in the Harry Potter movies—in a lot of scenes, the boy stole the show,” the director told the London Guardian. “I would be very interested in working with him. I would have no issues in casting him as a gangster. He is a very talented young man.”

Scorsese even—get this—compared Grint to a serious A-lister.

“When [Leo DiCaprio] was in Romeo and Juliet, nobody saw him becoming a badass in movies like The Departed. But he has become one of the greatest actors of all time. The very same could be true for Rupert.”

The ladies seem to love some Tom Felton, so we’ll throw him in here, too. Once he hangs up his Death-Eater get-up, the onetime Draco Malfoy will debut a horror flick already in the can.

It’s called The Apparition, something about a college experiment gone horribly wrong, but it’s Tom Felton, so I don’t need to really tell you too much more, now, do I?

Pretty soon you won’t be able to open a fashion mag without seeing Emma Watson’s adorable mug in it—and there won’t be a wand in sight!

That’s because the Harry Potter star’s ads for Burberry’s spring 2010 collection have just debuted. And we think Em looks fabulous. (Plus, we always liked her style anyway—she’s one of the fiercest fashionistas in Young Hollywood.)

Not only is the 19-year-old Brown student working it for famous fashion photog Mario Testino, but her little brother(on the left), Alex, is posing, too, in his first modeling gig. It’s like a Bonus Jonas!

But Emma Watson is celebrating being named the highest paid actress of the past decade.

Despite being just nine years old at the Millennium her extra-curricular activities playing Hermione in the Harry Potter films have made more money than any other woman in Hollywood.

The wizard franchise and her role in the animation The Tale Of Despereaux have taken $5.4billion (£3.32billion) worldwide, putting her films’ box-office takings ahead of Hollywood heavyweights such as Julia Roberts, Halle Berry and Cameron Diaz.

She also boasts the highest average box office receipts per movie, with each of her films making an average of £554,880,000.

The star topped the poll by the Guinness Book Of World Records.

The accolade caps a remarkable rise to fame for the former pupil of Stagecoach Theatre Arts in Oxford.

Since her first outing as Hermione as a 10-year-old in 2001, she has amassed a £10million fortune and was recently placed sixth on Forbes’ list of Hollywood’s Most Valuable Young Stars.

Watson is currently the face of Burberry Prorsum and has announced that she is creating a fashion range for ethical brand People Tree next year.

She has also emulated the academic achievements of her character Hermione, earning eight A*s and two As at GCSE, and three As at A-level. She now divides her time between fashion and studying art and literature at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

Emma Watson and the class of 2013 attend freshman orientation at Brown University on Friday (September 4) in Providence, Rhode Island.

The day after, the 19-year-old British actress was seen grabbing Starbucks with friends and family. Her boyfriend Jay Barrymore has also been spotted on campus.

Emma arrived on campus via helicopter on Wednesday, September 2. Not a typical way to start off the school year! In addition to her literature course load, Emma is taking a geology class this semester.

“I want to be normal,” the Harry Potter starlet has said. “I really want anonymity. I want to do [the college experience] properly, like everyone else. As long as I don’t walk in and see, like, Harry Potter posters everywhere, I’ll be fine.”

While Radcliffe’s Harry Potter co-star, Emma Watson, has been trying to keep her academic plans under wraps, D-Rad has gone ahead and confirmed rumors that the actress will attend Brown University in the fall.

Discussing Watson’s academic prowess (and his own lack thereof), Radcliffe told British newspaper the Guardian, “Do you know her GCSE [General Certificate of Secondary Education] results?” I was thrilled with mine—seven Bs, two As and an A*. I think Emma got three As and seven A*s—she’s incredibly academic, it’s frightening. Me and Rupert to all intents and purposes dropped out of school. And she’s going to Brown.”

Whoops; looks like the cat’s out of the bag! Good job, Dan!

Enjoying a relaxing evening, Emma Watson was spotted arriving at a family member’s house last night (April 15) to celebrate her 19th birthday.

The “Harry Potter” hottie looked cool and casual as she toted a couple shopping bags, sporting a pink screenprinted sweatshirt, black yoga pants, and a pair of tan sneakers.

In related news, it seems Miss Watson has caught the eye of the folks over at Burberry, as she’s been named the face of Burberry Prorsum Autumn/Winter 2009.

But a rep from the company was hesitant to confirm any details. “The campaign is not yet finalized and once it is we don’t release any information until the official launch time, which would be around June of this year.”

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will come to life a bit sooner than expected.

Warner Bros. has decided to make a long weekend of it, bumping the long-awaited film’s release date up two days to July 15, a Wednesday.

Well, every little bit helps after they postponed the big day by eight months.

The studio rationalized that opening the sixth installment of the mega-hit franchise on a Wednesday is like giving it two consecutive debut weekends.

“Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday,” said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros.’ head of distribution.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will greet the world alone on July 15 and have little to no major competition come Friday-through-Sunday.
