She was just nine years old when she landed her first significant acting role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie. Prior to being cast in the Harry Potter films, Watson had never been on a film set and had only been in a few stage productions.
Success
Watson made $15-$20 million per year in acting compensation alone during the height of her Harry Potter success. Watson’s performances in the movie, in which she co-starred with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, won her a slew of accolades and honors.
By the summer of 2007, Watson’s work in the famous series was reported to have earned her more than $13 million, at which point she admitted that she was financially secure and would no longer need to work to make a living. In 2009, she was placed sixth on Forbes’ list of “Most Valuable Young Stars,” and the following year, she was named Hollywood’s highest paid female actress, earning a total of $24.8 million in 2009.
Harry Potter Salary
Emma got $4 million for her role in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” in 2007. She was subsequently paid $30 million for Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2. Emma made at least $70 million from Harry Potter base pay alone, after adjusting for inflation.
