Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe Are Highest-Paid Actors

Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe are two 19-year-olds who make major bank. Vanity Fair named both Harry Potter stars the top earning actor and actress in Hollywood for last year.

Daniel earned a whopping $41 million pay day in 2009. He received $20 million for both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II, plus another million for royalties from older films and other earnings. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint each brought home an estimated $30 million after their $15 million fee for starring in the upcoming two Harry Potter films (click here to check out Rupert's amazing pad). That's more money than even Hollywood A-listers like Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Johnny Depp earned.

What do you think about actors making such humongous amounts of money? Do they deserve such huge paychecks?

Nina Dobrev Escapes with Harry Potter

"When I read a novel, I like to get away from normal life. It's an escape for me, so I like to read a lot," Nina Dobrev spills at the 2010 Winter TCA Tour. Who's one of The Vampire Diaries star's fave guys to leave reality behind for? Harry Potter.

"I've read all the Harry Potter books and I've watched all the movies. When I went to London, I got to visit the set. It was insane. It's huge! The whole place was massive. It was the Hogwart's set, and I sat in Dumbledore's chair. But I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can't tell you anything else." Dang.

The 21-year-old actress seems to be a fan of books that later turn into movies. "I've read The Lovely Bones. I've read all the Lord of the Rings books," she says. "I love fantasy and sci-fi." Then she must really heart her job!

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' to Be Released in 3D?

Life-like movies are all the rage right now, so it's no surprise that Warner Bros. is expected to release both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films in 3D.

We can hear Muggles all over the world rejoicing!

Although studio execs have not confirmed the news, The Hollywood Reporter says it's likely Warner Bros. will announce the 3D conversion by the end of the week. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was released with some three-dimensional elements, but this will be the first of the wizard series to receive the full 3D treatment.

How awesome is that? There have been plenty of 3D movies in the past, but the bar was definitely raised when Avatar came out. Next up for the multi-dimensional experience is Alice in Wonderland, and if we're lucky, we'll get to see some major wizard action in 3D on November 19.

Are you excited to see 'Deathly Hallows' in 3D?

What it Takes to Be Rupert Grint's Travel Buddy

Oh the places Rupert Grint has been! In a recent interview with the Telegraph, the Harry Potter star talked about his favorite vacations, recounting the best parts of his family trip to the Isle of Wight, his holiday in Blackpool and a press tour stop in New York City. The 21-year-old has visited many destination spots (thanks to his acting career), and is probably an expert traveler at this point. But if given the chance, do you think you could roll with Rupert?

You'd have to be a good tour guide: Rupert puts Thailand high on his must-see list, but given his hair and skin tone, he "not sure how sensible that would be." Next up? America.

"I've not done the United States properly, even though we go there a lot, because we don't have much free time, so I'd like the chance to wander around, shop and visit the sights without having to constantly check my diary for the day," he says.

You'd need to pack light and be tech-savvy: "I can't live without my iPhone -- it comes everywhere with me," Rupert admits. "It's got so many applications on it it practically runs my life. And a couple of my favourite t-shirts. Apart from that, I'm a pretty light traveler."

Is 'Percy Jackson' the Next 'Harry Potter'?

With just two more Harry Potter films left, the world needs a brand-new hero to obsess over -- and Percy Jackson just might be it.

Much like what happened with the HP novels, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is a film adaptation of Rick Riordan's fantasy series, the first of five books about a 12-year-old boy who finds out he's the son of the Greek god Poseidon. Percy is soon accused of stealing Zeus' master lightning bolt and must return it before a massive war between the gods goes down.

Percy is sent to Camp Half-Blood, a place for kids with a Greek god parent, and also has two best friends: Annabeth Chase, daughter of the goddess Athena, and Grover Underwood, a satyr. Annabeth and Grover give Hermione and Ron a run for their money as they help Percy on his quest to to find Zeus' lightning bolt before it's too late.

Percy Jackson is played by Logan Lerman, who has been nominated for several awards in his career -- and he's only 18! In fact, the California native celebrated his 18th birthday yesterday. As we've seen with Daniel Radcliffe, a magical and engaging series has the power to make you an instant star, so If all goes well, we think the 'The Lightning Thief' could do the same thing for Logan.
