"Harry Potter" Stars Emma Watson and Zoë Wanamaker Hit with 6-Month Driving Ban

Yara Sameh
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.

Neeson is joined by an all-star cast the illustrious Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston. Seth MacFarlane is also joining forces with Erica Huggins, producing under MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door banner, known for comedic staples such as "Family Guy" and "The Cleveland Show". The logline for the film reads: "Only one man has the particular set of skills to lead Police Squad and save the world! In a bid to solve a murder case, Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. follows in his bumbling father's footsteps into the unknown,". A fresh take on the classic slapstick series, "The Naked Gun" promises to deliver the same absurd humor and over-the-top antics that made the original films cult favorites. The casting of Neeson — known for his dramatic roles but with a proven comedic flair — suggests an exciting new direction for the franchise. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
