bboy_mn wonders:

Just to carry this a step farther, if Daniel is getting $3 million per
movie, relative to that, what do you think Rupert and Emma should get?

Personally, I think Ron/Rupert should get at least US$500,000 although
I think US$1,000,000 would be more fair. 

Just my personal opinion but I think Emma could be replaced easier
that Rupert. Rupert has a very expressive face, and not just wacky mug
shots. I think he is very good at conveying complicated, and subtle
emotion. And, he has just the right personality for Ron. 

But I assume that they would give them each (Rupert/Emma) the same amount.

As far as Tom/Draco, I think he is good, but he really doesn't get
that much screen time, so I really have a hard time guessing his
salary. .... maybe US$100,000. 

Just a little speculation. Partly for fun and partly because I'm
worried that at some point in the future the actors are going to
regret having settled for so little. I read somewhere that SS/PS has
grossed almost US$2 billion from box office and mechandising.
Absolutely no reason to think that CoS won't go well over a billion.

Just a thought.
