TWELVE POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR

‘Harry Potter’ Star Banned From Driving on Same Day as Her Castmate

Emma Watson and Zoe Wanamaker both received six-month driving bans after getting caught speeding last year.

Both Emma Watson and her former Harry Potter co-star Zoe Wanamaker have been banned from driving for six months after they were both caught speeding in separate incidents last year. Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the hit franchise, was ordered to pay £1,044 ($1,400) after driving her blue Audi 38mph in a 30mph zone in July 2024 whilst already having nine points on her license. The actress did not attend the five-minute hearing at High Wycombe Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, which was followed by another speeding ban issued to 76-year-old Wanamaker, who played Hogwarts teacher Madam Hooch in the Harry Potter films. The actress was also caught speeding in London in August last year whilst similarly having nine points on her license, and was issued a similar fine and another six month ban.
