Harry Potter goes to South Australia

The Age answers a question that I have never gotten around to asking:

"For The Philosopher's Stone (2001), Radcliffe, then 11, was paid $400,000, which rose to more than $4 million for The Chamber of Secrets (2002) to $8 million for The Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) and about $12 million for the The Goblet of Fire, which opens in Australia on December 1. He has just signed on for a fifth, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, for which he will earn about $20 million. His family manages his assets and he is completing school with a tutor on set."

Radcliffe is in Adelaide to make December Boys, based on a 1963 novel by a Queensland author, the late Michael Noonan.
