Next for Hogwarts heroes, villains

Unless their agents, accountants, and lawyers are secretly in the employ of Lord Voldemort, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint need never work again. Their investment portfolios should be humming, their futures bright.

But actors like to act - they even need to act - and so the three Brits we've come to know as Harry, Hermione, and Ron are not going to disappear. As in a rocky Quidditch match, they may encounter turbulence en route - it may be years before we can forget their wizardly lineage - but here's the latest on what the Hogwarts alums are up to:

Daniel Radcliffe, who turns 22 on July 23, has said that post-Potter, he plans to continue mixing things up, working in film and onstage, too. He's already proved himself in the latter capacity, starring in a London and Broadway revival of Equus, and currently in the hit resuscitation of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Moviewise, look for The Woman in Black, a supernatural thriller in which Radcliffe plays a young solicitor dealing with the estate of a deceased client - and encountering all sorts of ghostly creepiness in the process. The movie, due next year, comes from Hammer Studios, the famous British horror house. (Watch the teaser trailer here: www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1371774233)

Emma Watson, 21, left Brown University unfinished, did her work on Deathly Hallows, and is now filming The Perks of Being a Wallflower around Pittsburgh. An adaptation of the Stephen Chbosky coming-of-age novel, it's being made under the auspices of John Malkovich's production company, Mr. Mudd. Watson plays a high school senior who introduces the hero (Logan Lerman) to drugs and the dark side. Watson also has a smaller role in My Week With Marilyn, Simon Curtis' film about the relationship between Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during the making of 1957's The Prince and the Showgirl. (Michelle Williams is Marilyn, Kenneth Branagh is Sir Larry, and Watson plays a young wardrobe assistant, Lucy.)

Rupert Grint, 22, redheaded Ron Weasley, dropped out of school at 16 to pursue acting full time, and he has already shown up in Wild Target (a British screwball crime caper, with Emily Blunt, in which Grint smokes cigarettes and wields a gun) and Cherrybomb, another English indie, this one about teenagers on a drink-and-drug spree. Up next: Comrade, a World War II drama in which he plays a downed RAF pilot forced to share a cabin in wintry Norway with a downed Nazi crew. And IMDB reports that Grint is attached to do Cross Country, in which a bunch of friends head for the outback and head into trouble; Eddie the Eagle, a biopic about Eddie Edwards, the British Olympic ski jumper; and Wartime Wanderers, another combat saga, this one about a British football team that, in 1939, enlist en masse.

 Tom Felton, 23, known to millions of Harryheads as Draco Malfoy, has been busy indeed. His lineup of post-Deathly Hallows endeavors includes From the Rough (yes, golf), Rise of the Planet of the Apes (the James Franco-starring hominidae sci-fi prequel), The Apparition (college-campus supernatural stuff), Grace and Danger (World War II again), and Evac (military weirdness).

Clémence Poésy, 28, came onboard the HP series with 2005's Goblet of Fire, playing the Gallic Triwizard champion, Fleur Delacour, a member of the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix who weds Ron's brother, Bill Weasley. She's in both Deathly Hallows films, just completed the title role in a new telling of Jeanne d'Arc, and had a recurring role on, yes, Gossip Girl.

Ralph Fiennes, 48, also joined the franchise with Goblet of Fire, and he's been hamming it up as the darker-than-dark Voldemort ever since. Post-Potter, the veteran British actor is hoping to get his nose back.
