Top Box-Office Teens
Forbes - March 12, 2010 9:18 PM PS
Daniel Radcliffe was just 11 years old when he played Harry Potter for the first time in 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." It was the young actor's first major role, and for better or worse, it has come to define him. When the series ends in a few years, it will be difficult to see Radcliffe as anything but a grown-up Potter.
He's making grown-up money for the last two installments of Warner Bros.' huge franchise: $20 million per film. The studio was happy to pay him -- the "Harry Potter" films have earned a total $4.3 billion at the box office so far.
That makes Radcliffe and his co-stars Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) the teens with the biggest hauls at the box office.
Studios love finding teen talent. Young actors (except Radcliffe) always earn far less than an adult would. Kids love to see movies featuring teens, and those kids will go see movies more than once and stock up on film merchandise.
To compile our list, we looked at Hollywood's top stars 21 and under and then added up the worldwide box office for every movie they starred in.
Although it probably comes as little surprise that the "Harry Potter" kids rose to the top of the list, our second-ranked actress is less well-known. Dakota Fanning's films have earned a whopping $2 billion at the box office.
The 16-year-old actress got her start in 2001's "I Am Sam," which starred Sean Penn as a mentally retarded father trying to gain custody of his 7-year-old daughter (Fanning). Since then the actress has been working almost nonstop. She's starred in 12 films alongside such heavyweights as Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro, and Mike Myers.
Fanning is now trying to shed her good-girl image with "The Runaways," a film about the '70s band led by Joan Jett. The movie premiered at the recent Sundance Festival to good reviews. It hits theaters in limited release this month.
Fanning co-stars in "The Runaways" with our third-ranked teen: Kristen Stewart. The two also appeared together in the latest "Twilight" film. Stewart's movies have earned a total $1.5 billion at the box office. Although Stewart, 19, is now best known for the role of Bella in "Twilight," she's actually been acting since 2002 when she co-starred with Jodie Foster in the thriller "Panic Room." The film earned $200 million at the box office. Her "Twilight" films have so far earned $1 billion.
Stewart's co-star Robert Pattinson doesn't make our list because he is over 21, but "New Moon's" Taylor Lautner does. The 18-year-old ranks fourth with $900 million in box-office earnings. Much of that comes from "New Moon," but Lautner also co-starred in the recent romantic hit "Valentine's Day," which has earned $125 million at the box office so far. Lautner is now the hottest thing in Hollywood. He's been offered a reported $7.5 million to star in Universal's "Stretch Armstrong."

When we reached my home mason was crying and reenesme was trying to comfort her little brother.Alice and esme were talking very fast so I only caught little bits and pieces of the conversation .But it seemed that we were going to have to wait till edward and jacob and the other boys came back.while esme and alice were disscussing the subject reenesme and i were trying to comfort mason.At the same time i was worriying about edward I noticed reenesme looked very deep in thought.Then alll of the sudden esme is calling me ,my daughter,and my son to come quickly.Whehn we got there alice looked like she would be crying if she could cry.When I asked her what was wrong all she managed to choke out was Edward.Imediatly I knew something very bad had happened.
Ok guys i correct all my writings i hope you can understand them better!! please comment!!!
I didn't know how my life will be as vampire, how things should work with Charlie and Mom, keeping my self away from them is torturing my self.
I felt like I’m trapped without an exit
the only thing that keeps me strong is my family
Edward and Rennesme, now that they are not in more danger I feel more in peace.
But what will I should tell Charlie when the time to move arrives?
How will he react to this, He will have too many questions and how I suppose to explain it to him? I think that he already knows what we really are, but he is too scared to say it or just think about it.
But what I really know right now is that we are safe and will start our Happy Ever After no matter what happen or what people think about us.

I think
ok so this is a old song from the fiftys but i think it relates to how bella feels after edward leaves her in new moon so here it is
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

It ended when you said goodbye
While I was trying to sleep I couldn't help feel excited about Breaking Dawn and remember the theories I read throughout the day. Then, I remembered the thing about dear Alice having lost all memory of being human. This led me to believe (since her lover was a vamp. right? or something like that.) that maybe Alice actualy wanted to become a vampire.
As a penalty or something, she forgot her memory....
So, maybe this will happen to Bella.... But, I doubt it.
It was just a random (and possibly a WAY off) theory, but I just wanted to share it with all of you.
