Recently, we discovered the site Celebrity Net Worth, which allows you to search any celebrity’s name and find out how much money they actually make. What did we learn? That celebrities are rich. But we already knew that. Actually, we were pretty surprised to see that there are a couple celebs who don’t make quite as much as we would think they do – but they’ve still got way more money than we’ll ever have.

Just so we can feel bad about our own lack of millions, we decided to find some of the top-earning celebs under the age of 25. Click through the gallery to find out which young celebs have the highest net worth.

Garnet is a student at Columbia University in New York City. She is “that person” who starts dancing at a party when everyone else is standing around, and if there were a Facebook stalking Olympics, she would be a gold medalist. She also loves cheesy 90s music, and almost died of happiness when Vanilla Ice retweeted her. Once. Follow her on Twitter @garnethenderson.

Redheads get a bad rap. Perhaps Carrot Top made one too many of those 1-800 Collect commercials when we were younger (oh, the mental scarring!) and caused an entire society to rebel against their strawberry haired brethren, I’m really not sure. But life as a redhead ain’t easy, people. Really- the freckles, the pale skin, the general hate from everyone else…

Well, that was until Ron Weasley Rupert Grint made it sorta cool again. Okay, so in fairness it took him getting seriously hot for everyone to wake up to the “oh, gingers aren’t so bad after all” realization. But regardless, we’ve come a long way. So in honor of his birthday, we’d like to present you with our favorite red headed celebs.

That being said, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is actually a good film. Even though its title is quite the mouthful. The acting is well done (with some notable exceptions, which I will get to). The directing is impressive, with the help of some wonderful set design. And the underlying themes of the film will always be prevalent, but they work particularly well now.

You’ve been living under a rock, you say? Good, because I’m about to explain the plot of Harry Potter, so brace yourself. Part one of the seventh film in the series picks up at the end of summer. (Need a reminder of where we left off? Get it here.) Voldemort’s rise to power is in hyperdrive. Ever the multi-tasker, Voldemort is trying to find and kill Harry while also searching for another unknown mystical object. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are trying to find some mystical objects as well. Horcruxes are divided up parts of Voldemort’s soul that need to be destroyed in order to kill him. The BFFs are also coping with the death of Dumbledore (and trying to understand the weird sh*t he left them in his will). Ron and Hermione remain crazy for each other, but still won’t make out already.

And you thought you had problems just because they stopped selling Four Loko at the convenience store.

Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright, who play Harry and Ginny respectively, are not very good at pretending that they like each other. Which is fine, because they have about four seconds of screen time together, but their crushes are just impossible to believe. They are so awkward, then they randomly kiss (pretty sure they don’t speak a word after that), then he doesn’t mention her for the rest of the movie. Okay, true love.

On the other hand, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are really given their chance to shine in this movie and they are impressive actors. If it was never really clear why Ron and Hermione were Gryffindors, except to be Harry’s loyal best friends, this film makes it clear by really showcasing their bravery. In a way, Grint and Watson allowed their characters to grow up with them, which is why their romantic relationship seems believable as well. Unlike Radcliffe and Wright, they weren’t afraid to push their characters to develop. Keep in mind, Radcliffe does a fine job as Harry, but he definitely does not exceed expectations when it comes to Harry as a romantic entity.

The series, in general, has a lot of themes that are worth exploring. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is able to really push the theme of equality, and it could not have come at a better time. Bullies degrading others because of the way that they are, or were born. People who have been doing the same job and working with the same people for years, but then they are removed from that position because of who they are. People who have to hide the truth about themselves, because if they are honest, they know they will be tortured. In the film, this happens in the form of the Ministry of Magic weeding out their “mudblood” employees. And I hope that in Part 2, the film will do a great job of reminding us that it gets better.

If you haven’t seen the other six films or read the books, you’re probably not going to have a clue what’s going on. But I would encourage you to check the series out, because it does have a lot of heart, and one day your kids are probably going to ask you about it. If you enjoy Harry Potter or are a die-hard fan, I don’t think you’re going to be disappointed with the film.

As an avid Harry Potter fan (god, I wish they had HP classes at my school!) I feel like I’ve grown up alongside Harry, Hermione and Ron, both the characters in the books and the actors who play them in the movies.

I started reading the books when I was 10 years old – the same age Harry Potter was at the start of the Philosopher’s Stone. Together, Harry, Hermione, Ron and I had our first kisses, went through our angsty tween years and battled the Dark Arts. Or, you know, just those first two things.

It’s been 9 years since the first installment of Harry Potter was released and just as I’ve grown up and blossomed (and finally exited my very long awkward stage), so has the HP cast. And I don’t know how they did it, but every. single. one of them. has turned out gorgeous. Yes, even Dudley.

So in honor of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (THIS FRIDAY!), let’s jump into the pensieve take a look back at the cast of Harry Potter then… and now.

I’m definitely from the “book is better than the movie” school, especially when it comes to Harry Potter. (They leave so much out!) But there is one reason why I keep shelling out $10 to watch the film adaptation of my favorite books of all time: the hotties.

But, which actor from the Harry Potter movies is the hottest?

The most popular choice seems to be Daniel Radcliffe, who plays The Boy Who Lived himself, but there have been many babes walking the halls of Hogwarts since The Sorcerer’s Stone was released in 2001. And most of those have been highly overlooked.

Who is your favorite? I’m partial to the new guy who plays Cormac McLaggen in the sixth movie (which is why I’ll be at a midnight showing on Wednesday…and then subsequent repeat viewings after that); he’s so hot it hurts! Hermione Granger Emma Watson is the luckiest girl in Hollywood.
