Emma Watson faces a six-month driving ban after being caught speeding in Oxford, adding to her recent academic and entrepreneurial ventures.
Emma Watson, famed for portraying Hermione Granger in the iconic Harry Potter series, has recently encountered legal trouble as she was banned from driving for six months due to speeding. The incident took place on July 31, 2023, where she was clocked at 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford. The court revealed that Watson had already accumulated nine points on her driving license prior to this event, triggering a ban after her speeding violation.
During a brief court hearing at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court, which she did not attend, Watson was ordered to pay a fine of £1,044. The actress is currently pursuing a master's degree in creative writing at the University of Oxford, a venture she began in 2023. Watson's passion for sustainable innovation has also led her to launch a sustainable gin brand alongside her brother.
In related news, fellow Harry Potter actress Zoe Wanamaker, who played Madam Hooch, was fined on the same day for her own speeding offense. Wanamaker, 76, received a similar sentence for driving at 46 mph in a 40 mph zone on August 7, 2024, and also faced a six-month driving ban. Both actresses received additional points on their licenses, further complicating their driving records.
The Harry Potter franchise continues to thrive, with a new TV adaptation currently in production by HBO, aiming to bring a refreshed take on J.K. Rowling's beloved books. While Watson's recent activities may have taken a detour due to her driving ban, the impact of her contributions to film and sustainable practices remains in the spotlight.
