By the end of the movie series, They should be 21, 20 and 19, yeas old, respectively.  All with substantial fortunes in the bank (Radcliff should be worth about $50 million alone).Imagine that for a moment. 20 years old, the star of seven blockbuster movies, typecast probably forever and wealthy beyond the dreams of 99.99%  of the population. You are 20 years old and it's over.Wow. Pretty remarkable when you stop and think about it.But Radcliff and Grint both want to work as actors. "Retirement" is never entertained by either of them. It does seem that Emma Watson, who is as bookish in life as Hermione is in the series, wants to go to university and leave acting behind her.But "retire" as such? No.  Being a well-funded slacker and "retirement" are not the same things. It's not the age for such goals.</blockquote>
