Daniel Radcliffe has been declared MTV’s “actor they are most thankful for.” Radcliffe has shined this year with his run on Broadway’s “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying” and the endearing finale of the “Harry Potter” Films. He is also set to hit the big screen again and has several motion pictures currently in the works.

Radcliffe met with MTV News to discuss his life after Harry Potter. “It's been very successful,” he said.

“I've done some work I'm really proud of in that time, particularly onstage in "How to Succeed." …It's been a great year, but I think next year is the big one for me. "The Woman in Black" is coming out, and I've also got a couple other things I'll be doing. The next two or three years are going to be pretty important, I think, and if [2011] is not a breakout year, it's a breakaway year,” he continued.

Life for the Breaking Dawn trio has been enthralling and life changing as well. The latest flick in the saga-Breaking Dawn Part 1, is projected to reach $300 million domestically. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are easily recognizable faces all around the world.

Stewart is currently working on the much anticipated “Snow White and the Huntsman.” And Pattinson is starring in “Cosmopolis” directed by the “A Dangerous Method” director-David Cronenberg.

"Really, he's fantastic. He's sensational," Cronenberg said of Pattinson’s work on his film. "Really, I'm telling you. He's a great actor. It's obvious in the movie. It's not like maybe yes, maybe no. It's obvious."

These young Hollywood stars are extremely successful and under the age of 30. Radcliffe is estimated to be worth $37-80 million. Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner reportedly made about $25 million for the Breaking Dawn films and will also reap from the profits. However, with all their demand in Hollywood, it was Miley Cyrus who hit the top of the list as Hollywood’s Richest Teen in 2011.

With her show “Hannah Montana,” albums, sold-out concerts, lines, and endorsements, the 19-year old star is worth $120 million. Also on the list are Radcliffe’s co-stars in the Harry Potter franchise-Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, worth approximately $50 million each. Dakota Fanning is worth $16 million and Selena Gomez came in at $4 million.

The Harry Potter and Twilight fans are still hopelessly absorbed with all things regarding the franchise. The young stars’ futures look bright and many look forward for their works to come.
