Because in the meantime the actor is thirty years old and seems no one with him to want to work. He gets not a single big film roll more offered, and the productions where he did have to see is, turning a piece on a gigantic flop. He played since the end of ‘Harry Potter’movies a few ‘safe’ roles in television series such as ‘Snatch’, ‘Sick Note’ and ‘The ABC Murders’, but which were not negligible and could his career not out of the slums.
Financial disasterHis power was a few years back estimated at more than 32 million euros. But after a failed investment continued the actor is left with a financial hangover. After the bankruptcy of the boutique hotel in London that he's after the ‘Harry Potter’movies opened - where he has not 3,000 euros to again, and the biting criticism he got about his acting in low budget -movies, it seems Rupert is already a while on his savings to draw on. “I think that I myself, gradually a little'm lost,” said Rupert himself over to The Radio Times.

He was after the ‘creative accounting’ in the meantime, because of tax evasion and had 1.2 million euro extra to give. Rupert gave at the time was “very limited” understanding of its financial affairs and its accounting all the way to his father and his accountant.
DisillusionedAlso the environment of the actor could see how it went wrong. “Rupert wanted to lead roles on the big screen and on the shelves,” says a friend of the actor in the international media. “But today, he is nothing. He is disillusioned in life and in his work.” Also Rupert realizes that the downhill went. “Without Harry Potter I feel lost. I'm not sure what I should start with myself.”
