She was 17 or 18 when her father sat her down for the "money conversation".
Until then she had been living on an allowance of just £50 a week. "By the
third or fourth film, the money was starting to get serious," she said. "I had
no idea. I felt sick, very emotional."
The actress, 20, who was cast in **[Harry Potter][7]** at the age of nine,
confessed to being "straight and boring" in an interview with the December
issue of _Vogue_ magazine.
She has barely touched her estimated £20 million fortune, for which she was
named Hollywood's highest paid female in _Vanity Fair _earlier this year. She
chose instead to live in student digs while studying at Brown University in
Rhode Island.
It is such stoic self control that led her to ban herself from reading the
tabloids.
"There's tons that's not very nice and I'm very, very self critical, so it was
like a drug for me," she said.
