Emma Watson banned from driving after breaking speed limit
According to the publication, multiple reports have emerged suggesting that Watson, 35, was caught speeding in July last year.
The actor was driving an Audi at 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford. She had already accumulated more than nine penalty points on her driving license, which led to the ban, report stated.
The case was heard at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court. Watson did not attend the hearing, as she is currently studying at the University of Oxford and taking a break from acting. The court also ordered her to pay a fine of £1,044, according to Deadline.
Interestingly, on the same day and at the same court, another Harry Potter actress, Zoë Wanamaker, who played Madam Hooch in the film series, was also banned from driving. She was caught driving at 46 mph in a 40 mph zone last August, fined £1,044 and will be prevented from driving for six months.

BLACKPINK Jennie has come under fire yet again. The idol recently shared sweet photos with fellow member Rose , though she later deleted them from her account, sparking debate online amongst fans and netizens. Jennie shares photos from the tour The group has currently been embarking on their world tour 'DEADLINE', which has been receiving a lot of love from fans. Jennie recently took to her social media account to share instances and behind-the-scenes photos from the tour. The post included photos of the members performing on stage, preparing for the show behind the stage, as well as group photos taken after the concerts. They were posted with the caption "BLACKPINK. DEADLINE. LA. LOVE YOU ALL". The idol also added solo photos that she took along with each member of the group. However, later on, fans pointed out that while Jennie had not kept the photos taken with Jisoo and Lisa in the post, she had ended up deleting her solo photo with Rose. This ended up sparking mixed debates online, where many claimed that the idol was 'jealous' of Rose and deleted the photo with ill intent. No comment has been made by the singer as to why the photographs were deleted from the original post. Fans and netizens share mixed reactions online As soon as fans noticed that Jennie had removed her photo, they took to online social media platforms and fan forums to discuss the matter. Many shared mixed reactions, with some trying to justify the action by saying that there could have been some reason for deleting the photos. Many, on the other hand, pointed out that Jennie deleted the photo on purpose. One person commented that 'Deleting a team member's photo after uploading it to your account shows how jealous and disrespectful you are. I think if Rosé had done that, everyone would have attacked her', while another shared 'No one cares about who posts who... it's about going lengths to edit your post just to delete 1 pic with a certain member'. Some fans came to the idol's defence as well. One person mentioned that 'Everyone needs to stop overreacting, there might be a reason why Jennie deleted the pic. Just because she didn't post another pic with rosé doesn't mean their friendship fell apart or something. Stop trying to pit the girls against each other'.
