The film franchise is coming to an end but the magic touch remains with the young stars of Harry Potter, who almost by magic seem to have accrued a property portfolio the envy of any right-thinking human being.

Despite being a terminally dull film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II has broken box office records and amassed £24.4 million in takings during the opening weekend alone. It will add to the bulging fortune of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, who himself already has £11.2 million worth of property in his name. This includes three New York addresses: a £3.5 million penthouse flat overlooking the Hudson river, a £4 million townhouse in Manhattan and a £3 million, 1,843 sq. ft. apartment in Mercer Street which he lets out. Radcliffe also has a £730,000 flat in Fulham near where his parents live.

Meanwhile his co-star Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, has built up a property portfolio in Hertfordshire, including a £5.4 million, 18th Century manor house set in 22 acres of grounds. Emma Watson meanwhile splurged £1 million on a chalet in the popular ski resort of Meribel in the French Alps, as well as a £3 million townhouse in Hampstead, North London.
