Actress Emma Watson, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series, has been banned from driving after being caught speeding in southeast England.
The 35-year-old was recorded driving her blue Audi at 38 miles per hour (61 km/h) in a 30-mile zone in Banbury. Watson, who is currently studying at Oxford University, did not attend the court hearing but was fined £1,044 ($2,143).
The case was heard at the High Wycombe Magistrates' Court, where her lawyer confirmed that although she is a student, she is able to pay the fine.
On the same day, actress Zoe Wanamaker, 76 — who played Madame Hooch in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone — was also banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding at 46 mph in a 40-mile zone on the M4 motorway last August.
Both actresses were dealt with in separate hearings and received identical fines. Watson’s most recent film appearance was in Little Women (2019), directed by Greta Gerwig.
