Actor Rupert Grint announced that he is Harry Potter Wealth to pursue his childhood dream job.
Before they were cast as the three main characters in the film adaptation of JK Rowling’s wizarding franchise, actors Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson were just normal kids.
But at 18, the three were guaranteed millionaires. The following films in the Harry Potter The series makes enough money for all of them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Grint, 35, is the lowest-earning actor of the film’s “Golden Trio” – but he is by no means short of cash.
Reports vary as to the amount of Knock on the hut The star made a lot of money in all eight films, but he is said to have earned around £37 million for his role as Ron Weasley.
It is also believed that the trio still receives royalties from the Harry Potter who, according to Cosmopolitan, significantly increase their income.
So how do you spend millions of pounds? Grint decided to spend big and make his childhood dream come true.

It turns out that Grint used his money to buy an ice cream truck, as this was his dream job as a child.
In an interview with the Daily Mail in 2014, the actor revealed this unusual detail: he always filled the van with frozen treats after disappointing a group of children.
“Shortly after I got it, I pulled into a pub to turn around and there were eight kids standing there with their pocket money out, hoping to buy a 99 or something,” he said.
“But I had nothing to give them. I’ve learned my lesson since then.”
Grint added that he keeps the van “well stocked” with a vending machine that dispenses Mr. Whippy ice cream and various flavors.

He continued: “I tend to avoid the months of July and August, but the rest of the year I drive around the surrounding villages and if I see some children who look like they need an ice cream, I stop and hand one out for free.”
“They’ll say, ‘Aren’t you Ron Weasley?’ And I’ll say, ‘That’s funny, I get asked that a lot.'”
So here we go: The next time you see an ice cream truck pull into your local park, you might just be getting an ice cream from Mr. Ronald Weasley himself.
We can imagine that he is a little busy these days after having his first child, a little daughter, with Angus, thongs and perfect smooching Star Georgia Groome.
