Daniel Radcliffe was just 11 years old when he played Harry Potter for the first time in 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." It was the young actor's first major role, and for better or worse, it has come to define him. When the series ends in a few years, it will be difficult to see Radcliffe as anything but a grown-up Potter.
He's making grown-up money for the last two installments of Warner Bros.' huge franchise: $20 million per film. The studio was happy to pay him -- the "Harry Potter" films have earned a total $4.3 billion at the box office so far.
That makes Radcliffe and his co-stars Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) the teens with the biggest hauls at the box office.
Studios amor finding teen talent. Young actors (except Radcliffe) always earn far less than an adult would. Kids amor to see filmes featuring teens, and those kids will go see filmes mais than once and stock up on film merchandise.
To compile our list, we looked at Hollywood's topo, início stars 21 and under and then added up the worldwide box office for every movie they starred in.
Although it probably comes as little surprise that the "Harry Potter" kids rose to the topo, início of the list, our second-ranked actress is less well-known. Dakota Fanning's films have earned a whopping $2 billion at the box office.
The 16-year-old actress got her start in 2001's "I Am Sam," which starred Sean Penn as a mentally retarded father trying to gain custody of his 7-year-old daughter (Fanning). Since then the actress has been working almost nonstop. She's starred in 12 films alongside such heavyweights as Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro, and Mike Myers.
Fanning is now trying to shed her good-girl image with "The Runaways," a film about the '70s band led por Joan Jett. The movie premiered at the recent Sundance Festival to good reviews. It hits theaters in limited release this month.
Fanning co-stars in "The Runaways" with our third-ranked teen: Kristen Stewart. The two also appeared together in the latest "Twilight" film. Stewart's filmes have earned a total $1.5 billion at the box office. Although Stewart, 19, is now best known for the role of Bella in "Twilight," she's actually been atuação since 2002 when she co-starred with Jodie Foster in the thriller "Panic Room." The film earned $200 million at the box office. Her "Twilight" films have so far earned $1 billion.
Stewart's co-star Robert Pattinson doesn't make our list because he is over 21, but "New Moon's" Taylor Lautner does. The 18-year-old ranks fourth with $900 million in box-office earnings. Much of that comes from "New Moon," but Lautner also co-starred in the recent romantic hit "Valentine's Day," which has earned $125 million at the box office so far. Lautner is now the hottest thing in Hollywood. He's been offered a reported $7.5 million to estrela in Universal's "Stretch Armstrong."

I amor it on page 58 when Bella is recalling watching Edward and Alice play chess: "Edward and Alice playing chess was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. They'd sat there nearly motionless, staring at the board, while Alice foresaw the moves he would make and he picked the moves she would make in return out of her head. They played most of the game in their minds; I think they'd each moved two pawns when Alice suddenly flicked her king over and surrendered. It took all of three minutes."

Rob talks to the Daily Record about everything from his Bel Ami shoot ( when you read the artigo you just know that the Uma Thurman quote is destined to be requoted and rehashed out-of-context for the seguinte year), to his loss of privacy, to Breaking Dawn.
“He is also set to estrela in the final Twlight film based on the books Breaking Dawn, which may be broken into two films, due to the number of books.
He admits to mixed emotions about the end of the saga.
He said: “”It will be strange but it will be great just to be able to know what I’m doing. Not knowing when Breaking Dawn is going to shoot – because it changes all the time – is a kind of burden, to have this thing where you don’t know when it’s going to happen.
“So you’ve got to organise everything in your life around that and that can be difficult.”
I haven't read any of the books yet, but i did watch all of the filmes released until now. I want to say that the story of the Twilight series is simply great! The intense love, the romantic atmosphere...everything in it is very involving! while watching both movies, my mouth was dripping and my body completely still. It was as if my mind was the only part of my body that was active. I was totally into it! I will watch both filmes again and i'll get totally inspired again. My feelings were totally mixed! I was engulfed por the magic of love!
