"Harry Potter" Stars Emma Watson and Zoë Wanamaker Hit with 6-Month Driving Ban
Emma Watson has been banned from driving in the UK for six months.
The actress, best known for her work in "Harry Potter" and "Beauty and the Beast", drove an Audi at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford during an outing in July 2024.
Watson has been banned from driving after accumulating more than nine penalty points on her driving license. High Wycombe Magistrates' Court also ordered her to pay a fine of £1,044 ($1,405).
According to the BBC, Watson's attorney, Mark Haslam, told High Wycombe Magistrates' Court that his client was 'in a position to pay the fine.'
The 35-year-old actress did not attend the short hearing. She is currently studying as a student at the University of Oxford, taking a break from her acting career. Her rep has been contacted.
In a strange twist, Watson's "Harry Potter" co-star Zoë Wanamaker was also banned from driving by the same court that day.
The actress, who played Madam Hooch, was caught driving at 46mph in a 40mph zone last August. She was also fined £1,044 and will be prevented from driving for six months.

"Only Murders in the Building" Season 5 Sets Release Date
Yara Sameh 'Only Murders in the Building' has set its season 5 premiere date at Hulu. The hit comedy series will debut the first three episodes of its fifth season on September 9, with new episodes dropping weekly thereafter. The official description of Season 5 states: 'After their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca), dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) refuse to believe it was an accident.

Along with the three series leads, the cast for Season 5 includes Michael Cyril Creighton and special guest stars: Meryl Streep, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, Jermaine Fowler and more.
