Emma Watson
Emma Watson just lost her driving privileges for six months after getting caught speeding in Banbury last summer. She’s 35 now—wild, right?—and yeah, that’s Hermione Granger herself.
Emma Watson gets banned from driving
The actress was driving her blue Audi at 38 mph in a 30-mph zone. Not exactly racing, but still over the limit.
She didn’t bother showing up in court for the hearing (who would, honestly?), but she did get slapped with a £1,044 fine—so that’s, what, around $1,400? The kicker is she already had nine points on her license before this, so this latest slip-up pushed her over the edge. Her lawyer said she’s studying at Oxford these days, but paying the fine isn’t really an issue.
Funny enough, on the same day, Zoe Wanamaker—remember Madame Hooch from “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”?—also got hit with a six-month driving ban.
She’s 76 and was caught going 46 mph in a 40-mph zone on the M4 last August. Like Watson, she didn’t show up for her court date either.
Both cases were handled separately by magistrates in High Wycombe. So, yeah, rough day for former Hogwarts staff and students behind the wheel.
