POTTER STAR WATSON GETS $20 MILLION BIRTHDAY TREAT

HARRY POTTER star EMMA WATSON received an expensive birthday present on her 18th birthday - she gains access to her huge $20 million (GBP10 million) fortune.
The British star has been given complete reign over the money she has earned through appearing in all five of the Harry Potter films.
Although Watson, who turned 18 on Monday (15Apr08), is in control of her millions for the first time, the star's money management skills are under intense scrutiny by a team of financial advisors, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.
In a deal with England's royal bank Coutts, who also look after her co-star Daniel Radcliffe's fortune, the actress is required to make low-risk, high-interest investments and attend courses on how to be a responsible millionaire.
The star, who is currently working on the franchise's latest outing Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, is paid $5 million (GBP2.5 million) for her role as the schoolgirl wizard.
