Everyone? The only one of the three from the Harry Potter films who had a reasonable measure of acting talent was Rupert Grint. Emma Watson's acting ability was meagre and Daniel Radcliffe's was even less than that. None of them would get close to matching Millie Bobby Brown's talent.

It seemed to me that even though they started from a much lower base both Watson and Radcliffe slowly but steadily improved as the Harry Potter films went along, whereas Grint just stayed the same.
Radcliffe was actually very good in 'My Boy Jack' (2007) but it was a film that played heavily to the limited range of acting skills he has. I can't say I've ever seen anything that Watson was really good in. Grint might find a home for himself in a tv sitcom if he is lucky.

Just to point out Harbour is already an actor. He has appeared in many hollywood films since 2005. The latest film come to mind is The Equalizer (corrupt cop) and Quantum of Solace. He generally plays the bad guy. The definitely has the face for it because when I first saw him in this show I automatically assume he was some corrupt/abusive sheriff.

Millie Bobby Brown, DEFINITELY. She's probably getting a ton of offers right now. She will make it.
Finn Wolfhard? He's in the remake of
It
now. He could go either way.
Gaten Matarazzo doesn't have conventional good looks. He's got "will likely stay on TV or go back to the stage" all over him.
Don't know about Caleb. He could surprise us all. -

I am sure all of them will have careers. Whether it's acting or not will be determined. Some might grow into other professions, maybe directing or writing, or something else altogether. Some might act but to a more b-level extent and some might be big stars. Not every child actor needs to be judged solely by whether to grew into a successful adult actor. Many child actors found success in other avenues. Hopefully none will grow into the tragic disaster cases, but maybe not getting too big can help combat that too.

Millie is pretty much a sure thing. Finn will be one of those quirky indie actors. Gaten will be the next Seth Rogen or something. Caleb might have a tougher time, what with being black and all, but he could turn out like Anthony Mackie. One of those actors that gets steady work for a long time before that one breakout role.

There's no way to be sure because talent isn't the only factor involved. Child actors need to choose their roles carefully when they're in that transitional period of late teens to early twenties, otherwise their careers can fizzle out. They also (needless to say) have to avoid hard partying and trouble with the law. The public has had enough of badly behaved celebrities getting away with stuff regular folks would go to jail for. Any or all of the kids on this show
could
have successful careers, but which of them actually do only time will tell. -

The actor that plays Will is a good actor, I think he will surprise lots of people and be very successful.
Millie is going to be unstoppable. She must have literally hundreds of offers by now and a lot just because of her charm and personality.
I think the other 3 boys are limited and mainly play themselves when acting. I son't think they have any potential to be adult stars. -

Any of them could have long careers. Right now Millie is certainly the standout of the group, but if you saw her singing Uptown Funk with Gaten and Caleb you know they're all natural performers. None of them are anything like their characters either, especially Caleb, so they're hardly playing themselves. Watching older movies with previous generations of up and coming young stars, you'll see faces who are still big names in the movie industry - and others that make you wonder
whatever happened to them?
There's no way you could have guessed at the time which would be which. No reason to think we can now. -

Finn is my main choice. He seems pretty down to earth, and he has a big project next year (IT movie). He also has a more conventional look among boys, so I think he is more likely to be successful in leading roles in the future.
Millie has a lot of talent, but I have doubts. She seems to come from a troubled family, and this can hinder her career. She also seems a bit dazzled by the success, but I hope she can focus on career.
Caleb and Gaten can succeed in comedy. I think Caleb can get comedy roles, but I think Gaten will follow a theater or musical careet. Just a guess. -

I think Millie Bobby Brown will be a star for years, like Nataly Portman and Scarlett Johanssen.
Might revive Winona Ruder's career.
Mattherw Modine was great and should have a boost.
Finn Wintrock has already filmed another movie. Might depend what he looks liike as an older person,
I didn't know David Harbour before, but he sure grew on me as the series progressed. He should get more parts.
Nataly Dter, I don't know. I didn't think she did anything special. Nor any of te other teens.
Mot sure of the other younger kids, but you never know. They certainly got a ton of exposure, on Jimmy Kimmel and so on so it's possible. But i doubt they will be long term stars.
