Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, in the Harry Potter movies, has turned 18 years old and come into possession of her earnings, reported to be more than 16.5 million pounds.
Watson along with Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy, took a three-day course on how to manage their multi-millions.
According to Hello! Magazine, the course included meetings with private bankers, lessons on spending and budgeting, presentations by charity organizations, and a talk by a prominent PR agency on the importance of protecting one’s reputation.
If only our former child stars handled their wealth with such maturity. Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan may have happier lives at the moment, instead of a laundry list of wrecked automobiles.
Good for you, Emma and Tom.

With so much buzz around the seventh and final Harry Potter book, I’m afraid I won’t be able to read the whole thing without someone spilling the beans about how it ends.
People are already scanning pages of advance copies and putting them up on the Internet. It’ll be all over the media. I want to read the last book without knowing anything.
If you find out how the book ends, please keep it to yourself for a while.
