“Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson has been banned from driving in the United Kingdom for six months after being caught speeding.
The 35-year-old celeb, who played Hermione Granger in the popular film franchise, was clocked doing 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in July of last year. Watson already had nine points on her license at the time of the incident, meaning she had previously committed driving offenses, each of which added points to her record.
According to the BBC, the actress did not attend the hearing, but her lawyer made the statement, “She is in a position to pay the fine,” which was just under $1,400.
Watson has been living in Oxford, England, while pursuing a master’s degree in creative writing at the university there. The actress shot to fame in 2001, at the age of 11, following the release of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”
She appeared in all eight films over the next decade.
Coincidentally, another Harry Potter actress, Zoë Wanamaker, was in court on speeding charges on the same day as Watson.
