What are the Harry Potter kids gonna do after this last movie?

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?

Emma Watson hasn’t dumped British financier beau Jay Barrymore for Spanish rocker Rafael Cebrian as was speculated after Watson and Cebrian were seen together at a Rangers game in late November.

Watson and Barrymore spent Thanksgiving at the Round Hill resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, reports Page Six.

Cebrian, who is studying at Brown University, where Watson is majoring in English literature, is drummer in the band Monomes. He is the son son of Juan Luis Cebrian, founding director of Madrid-based daily El Pais and the CEO of the Prisa Group, a leading Spanish-media conglomerate.

Muggles know her as Hermione Granger, the outspoken witch from the Harry Potter movies.

But the petite, polite Emma Watson seems shockingly normal. Her entourage consists of an unobtrusive security guard and her father, who, his daughter proudly says, dressed up as King Triton from “The Little Mermaid” for her fifth birthday.

“I’m a massive animated film fan,” she said. “And now I have my own.”

That is “The Tale of Despereaux,” the animated story of a mouse (Matthew Broderick) who wakens the lonely Princess Pea (Watson) from the isolation of her life.

“I felt really sorry for (her). She says that ‘One day, my prince will come,’ and it was really sweet that her prince came in the form of this goofy mouse,” Watson says.

At home in London, Watson takes the subway, plays tennis and field hockey, and shops with friends.

“I can’t imagine … being trapped and locked in hotel rooms and cars,” says Watson.

In fact, most of Watson’s time is spent shooting the “Potter” films.

The sixth film, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” opens in July.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the final installment, starts shooting in February and will be released in two parts. “And then I’ll be done,” she says. “It’s so much a part of my life, and it’s going to be so strange when it’s over. It’s strange being 18 and thinking … that probably I will never be part of something this big again in my lifetime.”

Watson’s personal fortune is estimated to be $20 million, so she might never have to work again. She is applying to colleges, mostly in the United States, plans to start next fall and hopes to study English literature.

“The wealth side of it hasn’t hit me yet because I have no need for money in my life. I still live at home. I eat meals with my family every night. I don’t go out a huge amount. I don’t really travel a lot,” she says.
