Behind the Scenes of Harry Potter: Early Mornings, Low Pay, and Emma Watson's Impact
Samantha Clinch, a former child actress who appeared as an extra in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, revealed in a viral TikTok video that extras were paid only £35 a day, while Daniel Radcliffe received $11 million for his role. Despite the low wages, Clinch shared that the constant stream of food on set made up for it. She also mentioned that her pay increased to £70 a day when she was given a speaking role. TikTok users expressed envy and surprise that extras were paid at all, with some stating they would have paid to be part of the movie franchise.
