They are known for tackling the life threatening situations during the life at Hogwarts. They were always in limelight whether they liked it or not! They continue to be the same all through their lives.

Well, the question in concern is not about the characters-Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger-in the ever famous J.K.Rowling series. The concern is about the actors who enacted their roles-Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson respectively. Box office analysts say that young 'Harry Potter' actors, whom the film series has earned a lot of attention, have a major challenge before them — how to keep their careers magical after the franchise ends.

The Harry Potter franchise has earned almost 4.5 billion dollars across the world. However experts say that the franchise's young stars are heading towards a major crossroads. The success that they've had in the eight years would make an entire career for most people, but they've turned into really good actors over the course of the last few years and hopefully that ability will help them transcend these roles.

A look at the movie industry shows the wreckage of the careers of former child actors that could not make the transition into adult roles. Daniel Radcliffe, who portrays Harry Potter in the film series, himself, said that he agreed to take on his gutsy role in 'Equus' on castmate Kenneth Branagh's recommendation. The 'Harry Potter' actors may have one major advantage over child actors of the past: they are working with a cast heavy on award-winning British veterans like Alan Rickman and Dame Maggie Smith.
