HERMIONE? HER MINTED

Seventeen-year-old Emma Watson is worth an estimated £10m after her portrayal of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, and may well double that by starring in the final two instalments, should she be able to maintain her... ahem, youth and innocence.

There'll be no spending sprees for the young actress though, as her dad is in control of the purse strings and she's not able to touch a penny of the loot until she's 21.

"He still gives me a monthly allowance - he insists! And to be honest I appreciate that, it makes me feel more normal." How nice that she still gets pocket money, and judging by some of the previous comments on this site, many HM posters would be more than delighted to give this young lady pocket money, or perhaps sweeties or a ride in their car to see some puppies in the woods.

One thing is for certain, there'll be a fair bit of male interest, for whatever reason, the night before she turns 21. Form an orderly queue, gentlemen.
