Actress Emma Watson and a Harry Potter co-star have been banned from driving at the same court. Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the film franchise, drove her blue Audi at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford, on the evening of July 31 last year.
The 35-year-old, who has been studying at the University of Oxford, was banned for six months and made to pay a total of £1,044 at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
Separately, Zoe Wanamaker, who starred in Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone in 2001 as teacher Madam Hooch, was caught speeding on August 7, 2024, on the M4 in Newbury, Berkshire.
The 76-year-old drove her blue Volvo at 46mph in a 40mph limit, the court heard. She was also fined £1,044 and banned for six months.
Both Watson and Wanamaker had nine points on their licences before the speeding incidents occurred. Neither attended their short hearings.
