A wizard £1m-a-year for Rupert

SEVEN years after he last appeared in a film about the boy wizard, Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is still enjoying a magical effect on his finances.

The actor, 29, who played Harry’s best friend Ron in the films, has just disclosed £14.6 million in shareholders’ funds at Clay 10, the business through which he channels his earnings.

The company, managed by his father, held £13.6 million in 2016, which means he made £1 million profit over the past year.

Yet Grint’s millions are small change compared with those accumulated by his co-star Daniel Radcliffe in his company Gilmore Jacobs — a staggering £72.7 million, according to its latest accounts.

LINE Of Duty star Thandie Newton revealed last week that Victoria Beckham once mistook her for American actress Zoe Saldana.

Now, broadcaster Zeinab Badawi, 58 (left), tells me that people often confuse her for the BBC’s Moira Stuart, 68 (right), who was the first Afro-Caribbean female newsreader on British television.

‘I get it all the time,’ she says at a party in London’s Fitzrovia. ‘It’s probably because we’re both black and work as newsreaders.’
