these three made magic together on
screen but what happened when they went
solo welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be taking a look at the three
major Harry Potter stars and their
careers in a post Potter world when
you’re in the middle of something this
big of course of course and you get
weirdly accustomed to things like seeing
your face on a bus or seeing a little
Lego version of yourself all seeing
somebody dressed as you the Harry Potter
film saga debuted in 2001 and was
instantly a worldwide success its
popularity catapulted the three young
stars to fame and gave them steady jobs
for the next 10 years
however this blessing was also a curse
as the trio ran the risk of being
typecast for the remainder of their
careers this is completely mental
completely the world’s mental following
the final installment of the Harry
Potter film series in 2011
Daniel Radcliffe Emma Watson and Rupert
Grint were forced to transition from
teen roles within the JK Rowling tale or
risk being forgotten
like so many child stars before them
Daniel Radcliffe there’s no better way
to start than with harry potter himself
while Daniel Radcliffe experimented
briefly outside the series his most
notable appearance outside of Hogwarts
came in 2007 when he began starring in
the British stage production of the
Peter Shaffer play Equus he followed
that up the next year by taking the play
to Broadway radcliffe’s edgy role as a
young man with a religious and sexual
obsession with horses garnered him a
number of Award nominations and wins
this gave him the credibility to star in
a revival of the Broadway musical How to
Succeed in Business Without Really
Trying in 2011 alongside Tony Award
winner John Larroquette

Radcliff also attempted to grow up with
his on-screen rules following his turn
as the boy wizard his first post
pottered film was the 2012 horror
thriller the woman in black and the role
was a departure for the young actor with
Harry Potter firmly behind him Radcliffe
proved himself a talented actor on the
stage and on the screen Rupert Grint
Rupert Grint was chosen for the role of
Ron Weasley after only having acted in
school plays since then he has portrayed
the hero’s best friend through the
series of eight films and made a number
of other film appearances in both
comedies and dramas during that time as
well
life after Potter proved busy for this
redhead fortunately for Grint the
pressure to successfully transition into
an a-list movie star was more squarely
placed on his two co-stars this left him
with the freedom to choose smaller roles
in independent films are you gonna kill
him no course not you killed the other
one they’re not gonna kill him we have
to kill him Wow Emma Watson Emma Watson
decided to ditch the persona of the
brainy and bushy-haired Hermione with a
drastic haircut
Watson’s haircut proved to be a key
piece of her transformation as it helped
audiences see her in a different way and
helped her move past the little girl
look meanwhile modelling helped Watson
seem more mature as well the acting
roles Watson chose for her first post
Potter projects solidified her new edgy
image these included the British drama
My Week With Marilyn and the big-screen
adaptation of the cult hit teen novel
The Perks of Being a Wallflower when I
first started out the director would you
literally have to direct me as the
camera was rolling you know and and
really steer me in a big way and now I
can make my own choices and I have my
own instincts about it and I know how a
thought set runs and works and just how
movies made so I think that’s pretty
huge as Potter mania drew to a close
fans celebrated and mourned the end of
an era while it was clear the three
stars who brought the main characters to
life would continue to grace
silver-screen they were forced to prove
themselves and solidify their places in
film history what’s wrong well nothing’s
wrong according to you anyway
but if you’ve got something to say don’t
be shy spit it out all right I’ll spit
it out but don’t expect me to be
grateful just because now there’s
another damn thing we’ve gotta find I
thought you knew what you signed up for
yeah I thought I did too
